PHASE I - MEET!
the nun thing: which would more accurately be called "the sister thing" or my journey and ramblings about possible vocation to life as a religious sister. Written by Sarah who says, "Ah, the 'nun thing'... it's such a benign sounding phrase. I'm joining the nuns. Well, maybe... unless I change my mind. unless I realise I really did lose my mind. unless the nuns won't have me. unless it starts to feel less 'right'. unless I realise I can't. So, this is my journey. My blessed, maddening, daggy, odd, sacred, loved and bizarre journey."

Other descriptors in just her first few posts include: wise, powerful and weird.

waiting for the day: The ho-hum everyday life of someone trying to follow God in the way of Jesus and make a difference in the world. Here is more from the Mollinator, "I'm a follower of Jesus and a child of God. I am also a mom of a 8 year old tornado named Ursula, and a family and youth minister. I am a lay Marianist, trying to live out community, hospitality, prayer, rejoicing, and pondering. I am a native Texan, and really isn't that more than enough?"

I think I spotted a few celebrities and NOW I know what Mondays are for - thanks!

OPreach: OPreach needs to OPost so we can get to know her better. Hop on over and give her some encouragement!

Bowling with the Champs.: The life and times of Carey -- adventures less than those of Davy Crockett, but more exciting than Laura Bush's sex life. Carey fills us in, "Once, on The Next Big Thing, they did a story, titled, “Thirty Second Biography.” Here’s mine – St. Louis (as in Missouri), Watertown (as in Wisconsin), Valparaiso (as in University), Chicago, Boone (as in North Carolina), Chicago, Watertown, Ann Arbor… "
