The man sleeps… he should, worked hard yesterday.

Nice meal@ Peck’s with B last evening.

Hearing test this morning and pulmonary consultation… they suspect sleep apnea.

Cadi in the shop. Getting time to put her away for the winter.

New wheels picked up yesterday. Ford Expedition XLT. Our old one is over 300,000, time to replace it. Can’t trust it for long trips with that many miles on it.

Vivid in color, dreaming last night. In my dreams, we were moving to some place with a quaint small church that had a retired old school priest and was just receiving a priest who has been contemplating his vocation. The old one lived in a ramshackle rectory with a daily housekeeper coming in from the nearby village. The new one complained of everything, including the old style confessional that always seemed to have a penitent kneeling outside of it and the study that always seemed to have a parishioner waiting for advice or just conversation.

The old priest had assigned the new one these two duties for the next 90 days. With instruction to be readily available regardless of time of day, as in his words, “sin and loneliness,” don’t keep regular hours, and this will teach you how to “die to self.”

Unfortunately, I woke and will never know the rest of the story. But I will ponder dying to self.

Romans 6:6; John 3:3,36; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Peter 1:23; Galatians 2:20

The man test driving ’17 Ford. It rides nice. Not a bad color. Doesn’t seem to hurt my shoulders to drive it.

Need to sit down and figure out my calendar. It is a mess.

Today’s ponder… James 1:19 & Saint Ignatius… both of which I do poorly.

Be slow to speak, and only after having first listened quietly, so that you may understand the meaning, leanings, and wishes of those who do speak. Thus you will better know when to speak and when to be silent.

Coffee

Breakfast very good

Bow season opened with hunters testing sundown. Very hard to see camoed hunters on a dark roadside. They lived, so did I.

Monday morning is here… the to-do list is long.

Much improved this morning in the health department.

Test driven car won’t be good for what I need it for. The search continues.

Baby run last night, still waiting for outcome.

The funeral… very nice Protestant service in a Catholic church.

I keep waiting for the grief and sadness. Over the weekend, I realized I went thru that process for the loss of my entire family when my dad died years ago. I was devastated and depressed for quite some time. I hadn’t had contact since then except for superficial public moments. I grieved and accepted their deaths at that time. I tried. I failed. I confessed my faults/sins. I accepted the loss of what could have been if we hadn’t been so broken. I leave the door open.

Congestion has lessened, cough is productive, and ears are feeling better. I’m still staying home. No one else needs the cold. Although the old saying was it won’t get better till you give it away. Fiddlesticks to that.

Found next year’s planner at christianbooks.com check them out quality and price are right.

Have a Blest day.
