The girl and husband showed up last evening late with a pontoon I keep trying to tell her we are downsizing but apparently, she’s not listening. I’m sure she will have fun with it.
The auction yesterday was successful. It might well be the best auction they’ve had there.
I was asked about the Evangelical Catholic program. After much googling, reading, etc. No thanks…too protestant for me. Jesus called 12 to lead his church. He calls everyone to believe and follow him. I can believe, most days I can follow. Somedays I want to live my faith quietly. I NEVER want my faith to come off as an in-your-face sort of thing. I always want my faith to be seen in my actions and speech. Somedays I fail at that. I think it is fine to be a Martha or a Mary. I think first you believe, you get to know who Jesus is, you make him the most important part of your life, you chose a spouse who feels the same way. You create your domestic church, raise your family pass on to them the need for a personal relationship, show them how to begin, encourage it, and participate in it. When you have guests invite them to join you in your rosary hour, invite them to Mass with you. Include them in your daily ritual. Pray before and after your meal, even in public. In short, live your life showing it outwardly all the time.
Know you are prayed for.
