Tasty Tuesday

"Food for the body is not enough.

There must be food for the soul."

Dorothy Day 

I think there is a real hunger for connections to others. Today is a good day to reach out to others in our lives.

Monday Musings ... The Pelican Project

On November 8, 2018 an exciting new project was launched. The name of this effort is The Pelican Project. What is the Pelican Project?  "A guild of women fostering commitment to Christian faith and practice across cultural, denominational and racial lines."

One discovery at this site has led to more discoveries.  I am excited to  unearth more resources,  thoughtful articles, book recommendations, and online discussions. I love that  cultural issues are addressed  not avoided.

This project was founded by nineteen members.  Who are they? Wendy Alsup is one. Karen Swallow Prior is also a part of that group.  Once you visit their site, I am sure you will be able to learn about the women who founded this effort. Visit their site by clicking here: The Pelican Project
At the site, you will find Good Links, Good Books, and a place to join the conversation.

I know you will not be disappointed.

This is part of what Karen Prior Swallow shared about the site ... "We are a guild of women committed to stewarding social media and local church involvement to connect quality Orthodox teaching to women  seeking discipleship by modeling civil and uplifting conversations, even in the midst of disagreement."

I have also added several  books to my long list of books to read. This list now includes the following: Is the Bible Good for Women? Practical Theology for Women , The Gospel Centered Woman all authored by  Wendy Aslup.


Maybe you will find a place of sweet belonging.

Do you know anyone who have made any predictions about today's mid-term election results? Have you noticed that most people are tending to be very cautious regarding today's results? Do you have any favorites regarding the outcomes of today elections?

I hope no one will be eating crow.

Friendship Friday

"Just a few years ago I realized that friendship is not a remedy for loneliness. Loneliness is part of our  experience, and if we are looking for relief from loneliness in friendship. we're only going to frustrate  - that friendship, camaraderie, intimacy, all those things live together in that experience."

Tea Tasting and a tour

“Ninety nine percent of all tea consumed in America is grown in Asia, Africa, or South America… many, many, thousands of miles from our shores. That’s what make the Charleston Tea Plantation so special… so rare. It’s America’s only working tea plantation. Charlestonians have been enjoying the freshness of our locally grown tea for over 30 years. Located on Wadmalaw Island just a few miles south of Charleston, S.C.”  this quote is from the tea bag of Charleston Tea Plantation

 

If you love history, tea, and South Carolina, you will enjoy taking a trolley tour of the plantation.
