Covid Cardinal Watch

Posted on September 1, 2020 by Jody Grande

Dear Hope-full Friends, It was a tense afternoon at our house. For some time, we’ve watched a pair of cardinals coming and going from the Korean Lilac that is situated about 10 feet straight out from our front door. We’ve wondered, do they just like being inside this dense little shrub/tree? Is it the security it provides? Do they find…

Holy howling!

Posted on May 14, 2020 by Jody Grande

Greetings, Hopeful friends, I’ve been thinking… dangerous I realize, but let’s risk it. What I’ve been thinking about – in this “quiet time” is – being quiet. I am an advocate of being quiet in order to pay attention to what’s going on inside of oneself. I don’t claim to do it well, but I realize I have always been…

Adventures in Facebook Land

Posted on May 5, 2020 by Jody Grande

Hello, hopeful ones, I have succumbed to Facebook. I resisted mightily for years. I finally crumbled, cracked, surrendered. I think of it as “going over to the Dark Side” – not that it’s evil in itself, but for someone who already has time management issues, it’s a potential time black hole.

Dear Hopefully Spirited Ones, March 25, 2020 A friend sent me a message Sunday afternoon: “Saw you sideways this am. Fun. Good reflection.” I laughed immediately, because it was funny.

COVID-19

Posted on March 20, 2020 by Jody Grande

Dear Spirit of Hope community, COVID-19 continues to shock our system, short-circuit our connections, and undo our ways of doing things. Still, we are here, and we will stay connected as a spiritual community in as many ways as we are able. However, we will not be meeting in worship or other ways, as we would usually do. We need…
