We revel in the action of the holiday seasons, roasting our turkeys for Thanksgiving, trimming our tree and wrapping presents for Christmas, and hiding eggs and roasting hams for Easter. But life mostly happens in the in-between times that fill our days from holiday to holiday. In this book, Mary R. Hemmer reflects on "ordinary time," a word used by the church to mark the days between feast days. From her experiences as an Episcopal priest, chaplain, cook, author, and mom, she pulls out and examines the extraordinary in the ordinary. She invites her readers to join her in choosing not to miss the inspiring moments found in everyday life. By changing our lenses in small ways, we begin to see and then celebrate those things that make "average" days anything but.
