What do you think she noticed first, the woman who for 18 years had been ‘bent over, completely incapable of standing erect’? What did she see…as she straightened her spine and looked into the eyes of the One who had just cured her infirmity?

Today’s find: ‘shroom
We’ve reached the tipping point, I think, with the annuals that adorn the planters on our front porch. After giving us a summer of vigorously contained beauty, the blooms are just about tuckered out heading into these last days of September.

Today’s find: Giles
A bit of mystery was resolved for me when I came across a hagiography of St. Giles the other day.

Today’s find: Squadron
I could hear the piston engines – their menacing murmur – long before I actually saw the planes the other evening.
