perfect day, a pilgrimage

I’ve been waking up with a song in my head…”you just keep me hanging on…you just keep me hanging on”.

Is there one sin that stands out more than another?
I have betrayed a friend of her confidence. In order to gain counsel, I have told a secret that was requested to not be shared. (of course I will be obscure.)

i wish i could say i was on a pilgrimage… but i don’t know what i’m looking for or to whom i’m to pay homage… remember Lord, when i said to you “teach me how to trust you, at any cost”? i said those words ‘at any cost’ with such a severity that surprised me, i [...]

i’m writing to you from portland oregon with a smile on my face.. under blue skies and with a wet forearm from watering blueberry bushes with a hose. i’m feeling pretty lucky, and walking in some seriously incomprehensible grace.. walking in a direction almost completely blinded.. no peeking through spots to be found. but today on my [...]
