This post is shared courtesy of Sarah Carey of
For the feast day of Julian of Norwich: May 8th, 2012.
A conservative Christian site for women named her as one of the “Top 10 Bad Girls of the [Christian] Faith.” There’s a semi-cloistered community of Episcopal monks and nuns named after her in the United States. Feminists think she’s the bee’s knees. She’s captivated thousands, if not millions, since her death in 1417.
She’s Dame Julian of Norwich, Christian medieval mystic and anchoress.
The World is Like a Dark Room

I woke up the other morning when it was still dark outside, fumbling my way to the bathroom because I didn't want to wake anyone by turning on the lamp. However, I made the mistake of turning on the light when I got there- my eyeballs were assaulted by a searing yellow-white beam of man-made light, blinding me. My eyelids reacted like a mousetrap- slamming shut so fast I didn't have enough time to take in my surroundings. No amount of lid-muscle kept out the radioactive rays that danced in reverse shadow behind my eyes, as I made my way to where I needed to be by feel instead, hoping I wasn't blinded for life.

Call to Prayer
The foundation of Ruby for Women is based on prayer and community. Here at Ruby for Women we have a community group called “”. This is a place for you to share your prayer request with the group as well as pray for your fellow sisters in Christ.
In order to best serve this specific group we would like to put out a call to serve for “Prayer Warriors”. We need 2-3 volunteers to help us monitor prayer requests and send out a call for prayer when prayer is requested. This would require checking the group 2-3 times a day and following up with those who have requested prayer. Assistance will be provided in order to get you started and would require no more than 15-20 minutes of your time a few days a week.
If you feel called to be a “Prayer Warrior” for Ruby for Women please contact (amorris@rubyforwomen.com) for more information. Thank you and have a prayer filled day!

Oh Ye of Little Faith
This post is shared courtesy of Cecilia Pulliam of
In last week's post I mentioned finally figuring out why I worry. For the most part I have managed to let go of that vice, and as a resslt, I spend more time in the now, trading the desire to be in some future or past moment, for this moment.
And God blessed my new attitude while sitting at a stop light.
I grew up eastern Oregon amid wide open desert expanses. Wildlife was (and still is) abundant near my home. Every morning during spring and summer, a Meadowlark's song accompanied my coffee and devotions. Over time I equated its song with God's Word - a sign of His gifts and blesssings. After moving from my home state several years ago, I have not heard the Meadowlark sing. Other birds seranade my devotions, and have a beautiful song, but they aren't the same.

All Things Southern - The Cookie
With my impending trip to , I've been thinking about how quickly I can sneak out to my favorite cookie shop, . It is actually one of the first places to which I learned to navigate my way to in the city. It didn’t take me long to learn that I had to simply board the 1 Train and exit at the stop, and after departing the subway station in to a beautiful park, I head north to 167West 74th Street. Even if I didn’t know the address, I could put my Southern nose into the air and smell my way to the little shop. And, when I say little, I really mean little. I could also just look for the line because it is always out of the door and into the street. You even have to duck to avoid hitting your head as you descend the steps into the little bakery.

“It began” by Keith Wallis
This post is shared courtesy of Keith Wallis of
It began in the womb of time
and the slow-grained flowing;
it began when the rains came
and the spirit of tomorrows
glistened in the sweat of yesterday.
It began when the river flowed
and the waters broke
in birth pains of caverns.
In the rising of hills
and the sinking of valleys,
as the scraped knees of mountains
bled down their ragged shins
it began.

“Passing Gas” by Lynn Mosher
This post is shared courtesy of Lynn Mosher of
We just celebrated the Run for the Roses, the Kentucky Derby, and all the events that led up to it. The air show and fireworks display is the biggest event, attracting hundreds of thousands of people, sometimes three quarter million, from many states.
As I watched the air show on television, I learned that those flying the Lockheed Martin KC-130 in-flight refueler call what they do...passing gas! (Gotcha!)
Wikipedia says, “The Lockheed Martin KC-130 is the basic designation for a family of the extended-range tanker version of the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft modified for aerial refueling.”
