There is a new baby boy on the ridge this morning. Mom and baby are doing fine. Dad needs to buy a new hat, as his old one has gotten smaller overnight.
Belated birthday greetings to DD#2 T. I hope you had a wonderful day. I see OK had a perfect score at the elections, with every county going red.
I’ve taken to listening to NPR News since the election. They always send me into fits of laughter over how they try to explain why their preferred presidential candidate failed to win the election. Today they are blaming UNEDUCATED whites and Latino men. Their inference appeared to be they were not intelligent enough to make a good decision. Perhaps it is time for the left-leaning democrats to realize people did not want a woman in office who had slept her way to the top (while accusing her opponent of poor sexual behaviors), doesn’t know her background heritage, lies just about everything, and anything, thinks she’s in the theaters by changing her accent depending on who she is around, and well you get the picture. Crass as the president-elect may be HE at least knows who he is, what he wants, and has plans to get there.
Books… looking for new audio and printed… suggestions welcomed
The hand, gaining, still numb and tingly but better.
Today I’m off to the fall gathering of the PCCW. We are hosting today with St. Pat’s.
Later I will be emptying the hall and hall closet as work is about to begin on the ceilings up there.
Let’s look at adultery and what scripture says it is Matthew 5:27-28
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; 28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
The Catholic Church tells us adultery is a “Breach of Fidelity”. Adultery isn’t solely defined by physical infidelity, but any action that betrays the promise of love and fidelity made at the altar. This includes emotional infidelity, a significant concern in the modern age where technology blurs boundaries and bridges gaps. Virtual relationships, online dating, and cyber infidelity fall under this umbrella.
The Catholic Church in the Modern World by J Hardon is an excellent book that addresses this subject. Former VP Pence was laughed at while in office because he refused to meet alone with a woman. Insightful man. Sin first begins as a thought.
Lastly… we all fall short. Recognize, repent, and begin again.
Know you are prayed for.
