“Look for the blessing in the person that drives you crazy.”: The 30 Day Experiment

“Look for the blessing in the person that drives you crazy.”
This quote from ++KJS is something that really stuck with me. Perhaps the fact that she said it when she was visiting my diocese had something to do with it. Or not. Anyway, I decided to meditate on the quote every day for 30 days, and write down what happens each day when I apply the quote to daily events and people who I encounter. I'm on my 15th day now, and so far the experiences have been challenging and enriching, and also reflective. It is kind of amazing. The diary is written into a small booklet which I will transfer onto a blog when complete. It will be a separate blog than this one, as it will be too much about me, and I want this blog to remain a KJS blog purely. I look forward to sharing this with you.

Bishop Katharine and the Native Americans

A story has been submitted to me from a fellow KJS admirer. Thank you so much for this story!

"Our Supply Priest today told me the most amazing ++KJS story. Apparently when Bishop Katharine visited the tiny church located on a Native American community (St Anna's in Atmore, Alabama, in the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast,), the women of the congregation persented her with a handmade Native America quilt. And according to the priest who witnessed this, '++Katharine was crying tears of gratitude and joy as the ladies wrapped her in the quilt!' The priest who supplied for my parish today had been the interim priest at the parish on the Native American reservation, so she got to spend a lot of time with our PB. This is a photo from that day- she is wrapped in the quilt."
