How Ora Et Labora Is Keeping Me Sane During Quarantine
Hello everybody! I don’t know about you, but the lines for computers are long around here, as all music lessons and classes have gone to livestream or pre-recorded for the foreseeable future. Which means I’ve decided to try to post on Saturdays, instead of Fridays, and also to share one post from the week of posts I’ve shared over on Instagram and Facebook. Some will have additions and be in a longer format, but it’s the best I can do when life is so upside down around here. Stay safe and well and keep praying! I know I am! Without further ado, thoughts on how St. Benedict is helping us…

Hope Begins With Prayer
This little window in a wall has me thinking about the power of prayer. Prayer is very much like a window that helps us to see beyond the wall of our problems. It is not a denial of the problems in our midst — but it offers us a look at the beautiful thing waiting on the other side it. It gives us hope, even when we have hit a wall.

I don’t know about you, but this is not being reflected in the craziness that is filling the headlines. Having said that, this should be taken seriously.

So, yes, let’s think of the vulnerable around us and wash our hands and stay home if we’re sick or if quarantines happen — but let’s not…

Fear is Useless; What is Needed is Trust
Today is the day I have to get all our financials together for our accountant. It’s honestly my least favorite thing about having a family business — but at least, it’s Lent and this is the perfect time of year to have to deal with it. So no post today, but I did want to encourage all of you who find yourself afraid of all the talk about Corona Virus to take a step away from all the news for a while. Instead, immerse yourself in the Word. The title of this post is taken from one of the translations of Luke 8:50: “Fear is Useless. What is needed is…
