Why House of Grace?

Uncategorized 1 Minute


Sometime I was fooling around with my name and discovered that my first name, roughly, in Hebrew means house and my middle name means grace–a sort of House of Grace. I don’t think that was my parents’ intent when they named me years ago, but that understanding of my name has become my personal vocation–in all that I am and all that I do to be a place where God’s perfect love abides.

I am a retired Episcopal priest after serving over thirty years in Diocese of Texas and a Benedictine Oblate of Our Lady of Grace Monastery in Beech Grove, Indiana. I'm also an eighth generation Texan. My daughter, The Homesick Texan, has moved back home to Texas. My son and his wife live in Bend, Oregon, with my two grandsons who call me Grandma Texas.

  2. The purple shoes are my favorite beach shoes.
    The photo is from my annual Lent trip to the beach; the shoes are fraught with Lenten meaning of travel and pilgrimage.
