Sts Crispin & Crispinian were shoemakers who served the poor for free, teaching us that there are many ways to be missionaries.

Take a moment to review the notes you’ve taken while reading scripture with me. Make a note of any questions you may have. Take note of any changes you have experienced within yourself because of your scripture reading or rosary prayers. Has making time for Christ changed the way you perceive the world? Are you setting aside enough time, or too much? Make the necessary adjustments to your schedule. Consider taking notes during the homily at Mass that you can go back to while you ponder what has been said. Have you prayed about what changes are needed in your lifestyle? Have you been to confession? Perhaps setting a confession time on your scheduling calendar that repeats every so often would be helpful. Are you reading more reflective books? The type that encourage the changes you’ve decided to make in your life? Are you sharing your faith with someone else?

Good Morning!
October has less than a week left to it.
November will bring a whole new set of things to deal with, celebrate, etc. Before you know it, Advent will begin. Nov 30 and another new month will come with it. Life seems to be moving so quickly it is hard to believe a new year is a few short weeks away.
The man and I have slowed our calendar this year. For the most part we’ve been sticking to that paramiter. We’ve begun attending Adoration at a 24 hr Adoration Chapel close to us. It allows us to spend quiet prayerful time together. It has been a good thing.
We’ve slowly been working on unfinished projects here around the house. Perhaps today will see the enclosure of the front porch for winter. All depends on wind direction and speed.
Ebony survived her 1st trip to the Vet. She’s back to her old self again. In Nov. she will be taken in again to be spayed and have her front paws declawed. Not to worry, she won’t be off leash outside.
Finished a copy job received last evening, will deliver it Monday morning.
Cold has brought some stiffness back into the finger joints. I need to pull out my knitting and crochet work to get and keep the fingers moving. Or perhaps the embroidery hoop would do the same thing. We shall see.

Know you are prayed for.
