Storm clouds brought an early snow…but they have not dampened our desire to share the Good News inside Menard this weekend.
Out of darkness…Wonderful Light!
Come , Holy Spirit! Shine all around Menard during our Kairos Prison Ministry Retreat!

Today’s find: Outrageous
First-time team members typically find the request shocking: We ask everyone who serves on team to round up 40 dozen homemade cookies, all to be shared with residents and staffers during our Kairos Prison Ministry weekend retreat.
Today’s find: Cloud of Witnesses
Maybe it’s just the company I keep, but I’ve had a bit of trouble convincing folks that you don’t have to be canonized in order for today — All Saints — to count as “your” feast day.

Today’s find: Bitter Brew
Perhaps it was the dark roast’s insistent rancidity that set me off, but I found myself grousing a bit about the prospect of Trick-Or-Treaters assaulting our domestic portal this evening.

Today’s find: Amazing
Did a double-take…when I looked out the window to the backyard earlier today. There in the grass, just a few feet from the patio, stood an impressive organic mass – a hefty white mushroom that (to the best of my knowledge) hadn’t been there the day before.

Today’s find: Mighty mite
Our “morning prayer” sheet requires some editing, I notice. And for that simple blessing, we are grateful indeed.
