I love so-called coincidences. I just happen to be making my own set of rosary beads at the moment. I've been whittling the beads from a dry stick I picked up on a walk the other day. I've never prayed the rosary before, but I like prayer; and seeing as how I wasn't brought up Christian or religious, I feel like I need something to focus on to get me started. I tried to buy a rosary but the company went weird and didn't send it; gave me a refund. It was a Tau cross rosary, the Franciscan one. And I can't find any others online. So I'm making my own! And enjoying it; except I have blisters cause my hand isn't used to wielding a knife for whittling (or any other reason )
How're things with you? Not great?
