Raye replied to Barbara Smith's discussion 'Plain or modest dress, shoes, stockings and leg covering for women?' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
Ditto Karen M., and I have found wearing light fabric, dark colored loose trousers (with mid-thigh tunics) most of the year works for me.  If it's hot - mid 90s F or above, I generally wear more open footwear and possibly light cotton…

Raye replied to Margaret Banford's discussion 'headcovering?' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
Hi, Margaret, I'll spare thee the boring details, but it has been a years-long process for me to be clear about a head covering, and to find what seems right. In the wintertime, a simple crocheted cap that covers my whole head and ears works…

Raye replied to Mackenzie's discussion 'Handmaking' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
Handwork seems to me to be connected with simplicity though I don't think of it as a form of simplicty, quite.  It is something that people who deliberately mind the pace of their lives often do.  I began learning the drop spindle and…

I find that Skype, various forms of messaging and phone calls help.  I also have some volunteer work that keeps me connected to my Yearly Meeting from a distance.  I pray you will find the guidance you seek, and that you may grow deeper in…

Time for a "Station I.D." - When speaking of personal experience

Personal experience is, really, all I have.

 

While speaking of my own experience, I sometimes begin an observation with a blanket statement that is more than just imprecise.  Depending upon the medium and the audience, it could be unhelpful.  I pray that I remain mindful that my words be seasoned with salt, that they be spoken clearly, and be acceptable in the sight of the Lord.

 

Mom used to call it painting with too wide a brush (and slopping paint all over…

Surprise teaching

Earlier today, I was discussing a decision I had made with someone who did not appreciate it. 'nuff said.


In any case, this dear friend said, during the conversation, "Jesus was not a quitter."


And my response was, "No, He was not. He also did not do many things others wanted Him to, because he was very clear about what His purpose was."


Later, I was tempted to go through a shoulda coulda woulda with myself, about my…

Sharing the Response to Prayer

1 Corinthians 6:9 is a hot topic these days. It seems that it is time for me to share some of the results of my prayers about it, since like it or not, the debates and arguments and rhetoric have begun to frequently touch my daily life, and it seems to be time to open up a bit about what I have been receiving in prayer.…

Something good about simple, physical labor (a.k.a. drudge work)

Nothing earth-shattering, here.


This morning, this sun-bright, half-foot-of-snow covered morning, I was blessed. Again.


I had machine-washed a load of towels and wanted to hang them out to dry. It looked like a perfect morning to do so, the sky so blue, a gentle breeze, and predictions that it would warm up to freezing. Ahh, relative warmth!


I gathered the damp towels into the basket, stepped outside, and noted that I…

Response to some explanations about Quakers, speaking during worship, and leadership

On another site, a Friend has posted a thoughtful and seemingly thorough response to an inquiry from someone asking about orthodoxy, the Bible, and leadership among Quakers especially as it relates to worship and spoken ministry.



I wanted to gently point out that what has been written applies to a segment of the unprogrammed Quaker world (in which waiting, or silent worship is practiced), but not to all of it.



As it turns out, I was unable to successfully post a comment at… Continue

I've discovered that a half-winsor knot like I had to do with my school tie is the answer to getting the scarf to tie well at the nape of the neck - and because it slips it can be adjusted to fit the head snugly.  Then after that I use a couple of hair slides to secure it just behind the ears.

It works with either a triangle (square half folded) or a long thin scarf.

Wore it at Area Meeting today...no comments!

Yes, I think it is you who took me to the supermarket and gave me vouchers for meals. It was a lovely kindness. I remember OYM with much joy and thankfulness.
I am well. I am working as Director of the new Australian Quaker Centre, Silver Wattle, aqc.quakers.org.au

Hello Raye,

Stopping by to introduce myself and say that I was encouraged by the scripture and words in your blog post today. It brought me some further hope.
In Friendship,
Jan Lyn

Keep the umbrella, Raye. I have several around here. Besides, I like the idea that part of my household is in thy keeping.

Raye - Did thee hear that Ed Kirk died yesterday? He was 89 years and one month old. It is a sad day for the Society of Friends. We could use some more Friends of his caliber.

Daily Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 28 and Galatians 6

Deuteronomy 28 – If you obey the voice of God by observing the law, you will prosper.  Disobedience will bring destruction (28:45). The big word in this chapter, as in others, is if or “provided” or “so long as.”  This is the great condition that hangs over the redemption people.  The word does not disappear under the new covenant either as we sometimes like to think.  “You are my friends if you do as I command you.” (John 15:14).  The convincing power of the gospel is not in its syllogistic…See More

Hello Evangelical Friends. I have just de-listed from the Liberal Quakers. I pray that they still know me. But I pray that I will know you.

Where ministry meets livelihood

Listen to this post: http://www.turtleboxstories.com/audio/whereministrymeets.mp3 Yesterday was sandwiched between a traditional Bible study and a new women's group on astrology and archetypes. Could I have chosen anything more different? One is an ongoing study of Luke that my mother initiated in December with, mostly, retired women. I felt called to join because when else might I have the chance to do a Bible study…See More
