Yesterday, I got a nice note from Barbara. It was really good to make a connection with someone who struggles as I do, yet clings to faith. Thanks, Barbara.
The title of her website reminded me of a song by Michelle Shocked, called “The Prodigal Daughter“.
What’s to be done with a prodigal son?
Welcome him home with open arms
Throw a big party, invite your friends
Our boy’s come back home
When a girl goes home with the oats she’s sown
It’s draw your shades and your shutters
She’s bringing such shame to the family name
The return of the prodigal daughter.
Anybody identify with this?

more musical meditations…
Hey!! Thanks for the mention! And what a great lyric, I need to download that song. I’ve never heard of it or of her and I love finding new music.
I hope and pray that your blog brings you a community of wonderful friends like mine has for me. There’s support and encouragement available from every corner of the globe (ok, the world is round so technically no corners).
I look forward to reading here.
looking forward to the journey with you…..
