Another one bites the dust…

So I must ask…

(D-R) Psalm 13:1-6…

13 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Week 5 Intermittent Fasting has begun. I need to weigh and measure today.

Cpap… night 2 completed. I have questions for the tech store. Far as I can tell accomplishes nothing other than I woke with a headache each day I’ve used it, and vertigo happens when I put the headset on. IMNSHO, at this point, waste of time and $$.

Today’s Ponder… Imitation of Christ… “The proud and the covetous are never at rest; the poor and humble in spirit pass their life in abundance of peace.”

This must be discussing attitude, not physical deportment. What do you think?

The office shaped up nicely. Just want it done. So we can move on and get the other things on the list finished.

Mass tonight at 8. The man lectures.

Need to look at Bible Study lesson for Tuesday night.

Know you are prayed for.

Coffee is good

Working my way through an Amazon return. What a nightmare. Chinese companies on there apparently don’t like bad reviews… then, they shouldn’t send inferior products under other names is my response. Their thick wool winter sock description should have read… “thin as gossamer synthetic fiber with 1 wool strand guaranteed to make your feet smell”. Live and learn.

Am thankful the weekend is upon us.

Coffee good… what is it about that first cup?

The man still sleeps

Office coming along nicely. Perhaps move in is closer.

Intermittent Fasting-still going fine. I need to walk more. Water consumption is improving.

Bible Study was really good last evening. We talked about the Golden Calf. Discussion was lively. H & C were missed.

I love standard time! My sleep has returned to only 2 wake ups during the night. I wish dst would never return.

1st Wenesday Devotion… https://www.bluearmy.com/devotion-to-st-joseph-obtains-more-than-we-can-ask/#:~:text=The%20devotion%20ideally%20involves%20attending,the%20salvation%20of%20the%20dying.

I love the fall season as well. Shorter days and being home evenings with family. The Fallow (winter Dec 21-Mar 19) season is almost on us. This is nature’s time to rest, slow down, and repair. We humans should do the same. Make this time all about replenishing.

Today should be another easy day. Have 4 must does, and one work on a little.

Day 4 of Week 4=354 hrs of intermittent fasting. What is different? My clothes are looser. I’ve lost a few pounds. I sleep longer amidst the nightly wake ups. I dream a lot… strange, funny ones. I seldom feel hungry. My water intake isn’t enough but is better than it was. Joint pain has lessened somewhat. Any discomfort is being offered up for those in Purgatory, especially those who languish there because there is no one who is praying for them.

1st Tuesday… Devotion to St Anthony… just learning about this one. https://stanthonyprayforus.org/tuesdays-devotion-to-saint-anthony#:~:text=First%20Tuesday%3A,the%20Cross%20during%20your%20life.

Bible Study Class tonight. We will learn/discuss “the golden calf.” I find this class enlightening.

Just learned PCCW has started having meetings again. They are on the 3rd Tues of the month in the church hall. I’ll be putting that back on my calendar. No Nov meeting, but a Dec Christmas Potluck is in the works.

I have a slow day today. I am grateful for it. Library is in the works.

Please add MM to your prayer list for mental health issues.
