Sunday Snippets, Trust Edition

It seems that, without realizing it, I seem to be falling into patterns of weekly themes for this blog.

This time, the "theme" is obviously trust.

I posted a song on "Only in God," and have returned to it daily for personal inspiration. 

A brief quote from St. Augustine captured how I WANT to "Trust."

The rediscovery of a truly breathtaking (to me, at least) quote from Blessed John Paul II made me realize that nothing we see happening around us ... now or in the future... is a surprise to God.  I found this on Nunblog, and put a link to it on "That the Grace of God May Come."

Sunday Snippets, A Catholic Carnival, and Storms

Again I'm joining up with the wonderful group of bloggers over at This That and the Other Thing.  This week my mind has been on the storm that slammed the northeastern US.  I was not in the direct path of it, but I've been affected - as we all are, really.  I found a couple of things expressing my prayers, and posted those at Amid These Difficulties and When Storms Have Passed. 

I am also aware of an even more wretched storm that has been upon us for oh... so many years.  The loss of life in that one has been staggering.  I shared something from Pope John Paul II on this in The Mere Probability.  

May God strengthen His battlers in the storms....

Sunday Snippets, A Catholic Carnival

We seem to be having Arts Week here at The Breadbox Letters.

This week, we discovered:

A color-filled autumn PAINTING

A seasonal PHOTO

A POEM that's one of my all time favorites (is it everyone's favorite....?) read by the author himself  (I'll admit it:  I am in awe).

A SONG that I would love to be able to leave as my own personal legacy.  (I'm working on it...).

I am sharing these uncovered treasures with the fine bloggers at This, That and the Other Thing. Click here to see what others have been writing about this week.  And thank you, RAnn, for hosting!

Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival

Tonight seems a fine one for a carnival.  Here in the northern hemisphere, we sit poised at the edge of autumn; State Fairs are behind us, and Fall Festivals are around the corner.

So I am traveling this week over to This That and the Other Thing, to join in the festivities at Sunday Snippets:  A Catholic Carnival. 

I am bringing with me the following posts:

Blue Velvet Ribbons on Purple Cake

and

All With Hues of Faith

Now I'm headed off to visit the other bloggers!
