Monday Whatevers
October 3, 2022
Hello, Friend!
It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, let’s start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing in the world right now. Some are beautiful, promising, and reassuring. Some are poignant, thought-provoking, and necessary. All of them add to a greater knowing of God’s presence in this world, within our humanity, and out in the great beyond. And, they all prove there’s an abundance of spectacular, breathtaking tangible and intangible cosmic matter between us.
Please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.
Blessings,
Marcie

The way I just cried watching the Gees Bend video. To hear and see the artists...🥹. My husband bought me a quilt from there after I regaled him with stories of Amy Sherald’s inspirations in painting First Lady Obama. I cried then, too. It was a sacrificial gift. I go against my own instinct by using the quilt when I’m cold, rehearsing that it’s made to be enjoyed. But I know I’m blanketed in art and sacredness.
