I went to an Advent ‘Evening of Reflection’ the other night, and a Shakespeare class broke out.

Today’s find: Dog fight
There’s a part of me that’s inclined to think Isaiah might profit (ahem!) from spending a little time in my neighborhood.

Today’s find: Entrance
Don’t know about you, but I was caught a bit flat-footed by the first Sunday of Advent.

Today’s find: Deciduous
Looks like I’ll be spending at least part of the holiday raking up leaves from my front lawn. And for that, I am grateful.

Today’s find: Prized consolation
Say what you will, but Jesus certainly had this call correct:
While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here – the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.”
Today’s find: Matriarch
It tickled me to see how joyfully The Matriarch held court at her 92nd birthday celebration yesterday.

Today’s find: Sycamore
Our encounter with Jericho earlier this year was decidedly Christ-like, I realized as I reflected on Sunday’s gospel.

Today’s find: A stay against the stumbling
It had been a few (ahem!) years since I trailed along behind Trick-Or-Treaters, so I didn’t realize at first how treacherous the sidewalks in our neighborhood have become.
Today’s find: Paperless
It was, perhaps, a bit overdue…but we finally took the plunge this week – and went ‘paperless’ at our place.

Today’s find: Anam Cara, farewell
There were 232 email addresses on the initial distribution list, but mine didn’t make the cut. Instead, I learned of my dear friend’s death only when the message was forwarded to me by one of the original 232.
So I guess it would be fair to ask, just how “dear” a friend was Fran?
