Easter tidings and NCAA Basketball

Dear Friends - have been away from the blog for awhile - spent a most restful and renewing week at our Beach House in Oregon - Central coast - was so wonderful.  I needed the time to reflect - to sleep - to read - and just be quiet.  Don't we all need that contemplative time every once in a while - my soul and spirit cry out for God - for Stillness - for the beat of my heart among all the other beating hearts in our world.

Hard to believe it is Holy Thursday - a friend of mine - Hilda is getting confirmed this Easter Vigil - so will go and celebrate with her.  Inviting some family and a friend over to the convent for Easter brunch - will be low key.  Sun is shining and I am waiting for this afternoon's NCAA game - Washington State is playing in the first round - tomorrow my favorite team, Gonzaga bulldogs are playing against Davidson -  guess this team has the most wins in the nation - hopefully tomorrow their winning run will be stopped.

I with other Co-Workers have been planning a Benefit concert for our SNJM sisters in Lesotho, Africa.  It is called Metal Makes Change.   It features a wonderful group of musician and dancers performing the music of Mastadoon - their album Leviathon - about Moby Dick.  The tickets cost $15 and the event will be at Seattle University - Pigott Auditorium at 7:30 pm - prefunction at 6:30 pm.  visit our site at: www.seattleu.edu/magis/lesotho.asp   to make donations or buy tickets - www.sistersoftheholynames.org/oregon/concert/index.htm

Hey, Cathy,
I don't know if you got my e-mail re the new blog aimed at snjms. My idea of a virtual mission center. If you allow, I'll list your blog site on the circle of fire blog roll. Good to see a new post here. I'll hold that new job in my prayers. Blessings this Eastertide. Hugs. K
