Not In Touch

It's been really difficult, my local telephone lines are so crowded, I guess, that it's often difficult to sign on. I don't recall that happening at all in Seattle, it'll be good to get there.

The prayer shawls have been turned in, and when they're blessed, they'll be given out by the various people who act as ministers of care and stay in touch with the shut in ill. I remember how happy the people from Oak Park were when they came to visit Jim and had with them a quilt that had been made in St. Giles. A lap-robe, I guess.

The prayers suggested for use, while you're working with your hands, were a terrific guide. Placing more importance on how much prayer goes into the work impressed me. It was interesting to see the prayer shawls that are prepared by expert knitters have patterns beyond the fundamental recommended.

So if I add no more for a while, it's only because I can't usually touch base.
