AVOIR COURAGE, AVOIR COEUR
There are two sayings in French…ok, definitely a lot more than just two sayings, but I’m just contemplating these two… Avoir courage Avoir coeur Now you might think that the first saying means to be brave and the second to have heart, and you would be incorrect.

THE ALTAR REVISITED
I’ve written previously about an altar that I discovered at the metro park. An Altar Hidden in Plain Sight, and An Altar Update I’ve been captivated by that altar and try to visit it as often as possible when I walk in the park.

PSALM 139
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I think of that verse every day when I get up. Before my coffee and a little makeup it’s on the fearful side, but after those I can at least move toward something akin to wonderful. This post falls under the category of “whatContinue reading “PSALM 139”
