Messi--Greek for "Middle." Born as the middle child-- and one for whom peace and harmony are paramount--I often find myself "in the middle" of my family and friends, sifting through the richness of my Catholic faith, politically moderate and in the middle of five books and three projects at once. I have also spent 37 years learning the hard way that the Truth is often in the middle, and that sometimes a "mess" can be a beautiful thing.

Amazing Grace
I have loved this song since I was a little girl. My parents had it played at their wedding. When I learned the true story behind the writing of this song, I was moved to tears. Stayed up late one night by myself watching the movie version of the story. The letters in those two words even look attractive set next to each other. But why is the concept of free, unearned Grace so very difficult for this mortal to understand? Perhaps that is indeed why it is Amazing. As someone who hears and integrates "Truth" so much more readily than "Grace"--I think I've found my journey . . .
