Congrats to Henry C who makes his 1st Holy Communion today.

Feeling whiny today so I’d best just say

Know you are prayed for.

Recipes I want to try

Ingredients:
1 lb pizza dough
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1 cup cooked chicken, diced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg (for egg wash)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
Spread ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Layer mozzarella cheese, bacon, chicken, and red onion over the dressing.
Roll up the dough tightly from one long side, pinching the seams to seal.
Transfer the roll to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
Brush the top with beaten egg and make small cuts across the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Perhaps today I will have time to think.

Ponder for today… Pride, Satan’s downfall… is it mine?  Have I taken the gifts given me by God, attributed them to myself and decided I don’t need God, or that he doesn’t exist, or that in the end he will accept me because after all… I am a good person?

Happy Birthday, RA & CL. Have an awesome day.

The new laptop arrived. Forgot how time-consuming setup can be.

Copywork completed.

Typing almost finished.

My set of used “Prove It” books arrived.   They look new.

J still searching for his own place.  Almost choked when I found out what is being charged for rent these days.  There is nothing affordable or even available in this area.

NT- completed for the morning. Horrid leg cramps most of the night. Figure I didn’t get enough water yesterday.

CPAP- on and off all night due to getting up to move for the cramping legs.

IF- on track except apparently the water intake. Will fix that today.

Ponder for today… Remorse and disgust are the necessary results of sin.  Do you feel those when you sin?  If not, have you confessed? Perhaps you should.

Know you are prayed for.

Remembering my mom, may she rest in peace.

Today’s ponder… I am capable of only feeble desires to do good, may “His Grace” make them effective.  I must examine my soul, find the sin I am most accustomed to committing and the virtue I principally lack and combat the sin and practice the virtue. Beginning again and again.

Know you are prayed for.

Today’s ponder… my body will once again unite with my soul and share with it eternal glory or the everlasting pains of hell.  1 Cor 15.  Our resurrection must begin in this life, it must be real and not apparent… we must rise never again to die in sin. Mt 5:48 a continual ascent towards perfection rising from sin to state of grace to fervor to sanctity.

Know you are prayed for.
