Wisconsin just can’t seem to let go of winter. This same thing happened back in 1973. By 0500 tomorrow morning our temps will have gone down to around 28°F. Hopefully the tulips and daffodils will not be to frozen.

Desk calendar prices finally went down so I bought a new one. It’s a fill in the month thing so it doesn’t matter that the year will change.

God is always ready to forgive and heal, the problem is “humans” are not. They allow their feelings to become involved. Back in the day we were not allowed to let feeling rules we were instructed in the good and the bad. Virtues & Vices We were encouraged to master the vices by practicing the virtue. Thinking of yourself got you nothing but trouble. Then some touchy feely “guru” came along and began showing how important it was for everyone to get intouch with themselves, to do what made them happy, to believe their happiness was best for them and to forget about others and what makes them happy. That’s where it all began. Even the disciples shortly after Christ’s resurrection and ascension found out how easy it was for people to push their happiness in front of community well being. Human nature is selfish, it is a fault, it is always just under the surface, waiting for an opportunity to raise it’s ugly head. I am horrible at putting others first, it is a daily struggle. Pray for me.

Today I remember my G’ma Katherine O and her second marriage to Richard M. May they both rest in peace.

Divine Mercy Sunday…St. Faustina

Today’s ponder from John Randolph…”The principle of liberty and equality, if coupled with mere selfishness, will make men only devils, each trying to be independent that he may fight only for his own interest. And here is the need of religion and its power, to bring in the principle of benevolence and love to men.

In my not so humble opinion this is where we as humans are today.

Know you are prayed for.
