Gratia Plena

Today we all got up very early with the keeper. She had to be at SU by 7:30 am for her class. We know how anxious she gets on nights before her class.  The anxiety has nothing to do with the teaching, but with getting up on time, getting a good spot in the traffic flow south, and lack of snow. Now that she has a fancy-schmancy four wheel drive car, the last concern may diminish ( although we think she should keep it in the garage when it snows).

But, while we played with our new toys, she said that she had an incredible time with her class which seems to grow in wisdom and grace. They had incredible class discussions about what constitutes pastoral leadership from the soul.

Then we thought we had her at home for the windy rainy evening, but no, she was off to her Holy Conversation group in which, we think, they sit around and talk about Spirit, Church, calling, and paradox. We were happy to stay home and hear the rain pound the roof.
