The entire porch was opened last evening. Nice to have that done. Looking forward to spending time out there relaxing with good conversation. Next up- getting the patio in order.
This weekend is family reunion. The man is looking forward to golfing early Sunday morning.
The toner came for the copier… very quickly. Will get those projects done today.
The RNC has been interesting to follow. Another interesting thing on the Democratic side is the push to nominate Biden before the Democratic convention. Who are they afraid will be nominated at the convention if this doesn’t happen before. It’s laughable to think the VP could handle the presidency. She wasn’t able to handle the border when put in charge of it. Actually I’m thinking it is time to cap costs associated with running for office. This out-of-control spending has prevented very good options from running. Maybe all advertisements should be in the form of public service announcements with only the candidates speaking for themselves. Perhaps campaigning should take place on the back of train cabooses with only the candidates speaking for themselves as they traverse the nation. Perhaps localized debates in the small towns of the nation during the trips cross country.
In the Catholic Tradition, we look at Our Passions… Our passions are not essentially sinful. they can open the way to evil, but they can also lead us towards perfection. Everything depends on how we control and direct them. They are impulses which are at the same time valuable and dangerous. It is a hard thing to control and to direct our natural inclinations. It requires perseverance, sacrifice, and the grace of God, for which we should always pray. Let us be vigilant I the control of our passions. As soon as they tempt us to do anything contrary to right reason and the divine law, let us renew our resolutions and implore the help of God. (Antonio Cardinal Bacci)
Know you are prayed for.
