Hanging with the procrastination crew today 😋

Need a little pure joy? Here is my 2/yr old granddaughter playing with a sea otter.

A breath prayer for Ash Wednesday.

Anyone else doodle Marvel releases in their planner? #Fantastic4

Psalm 40 hits different in the Daily Office today. 10/10 recommend.

I'm prepping a Lenten series for our church adult class using Dr. Amy-Jill Levine's guide _Entering the Passion of Jesus_ as its base. I'm loving the focus on risk. #nowreading

The Advent stack is particularly good this year.

I found this among my saved photos. It's still the right prayer. (Full text in ALT)

Haha, fair. This is from my first class a few weeks ago 🐟 The more recent has been practice pages for mixing and shading, not much to see.

Ready for Advent. The candles are mismatched and crooked. The icon refuses to hang straight. My theme is apparently to notice gifts of imperfection and the need for grace in this broken, unjust world. Let it be. Icon: "Christ in the Rubble" by Kelly Latimore

I backed a kickstarter in January '23 (!) for an illustrated prose rendering of Edmond Spencer's Faerie Queene (1590s). I loved reading it in Middle English for an undergrad course. After painstaking work, it's close to being ready to print. This book nerd is giddy (but still being patient-ish).

I was recently gifted this volume of Girls of the Bible by P.C. Headley, who was apparently quite a prolific author. It offers biographical sketches of female characters in the Bible and was published in 1866. It seems to be a children's version of another work of his called Women of the Bible.
