Lutheran Rosary, yes they have one, a Lenten one, a Longworth one, and what is called the wreath of Christ. All are interesting. Please note Luther said the rosary his entire life using the pre-Trent Hail Mary. This is something not talked about much. I often wonder how many Lutherans know about it.

Today think about how
You are the salt of the world
how you can enrich the world around you
putting hope at the heart of the Gospel message
showing the world that trials and trouble will not have the final word

Village peaceful

Coffee strong

tree leaves sparkle in the streetlamp
pavement wet from rain
sunrise obscured by rain clouds
cool breeze relief from oppressive heat
streetlamps dousing themselves in morning light
old glory flutters on the breeze
parched ground sucking down water
mourning dove coos arrival of dawn
rain drip drip drips off the eves white rose blossoms turn brown
hibiscus blossom opens
rabbit nibbles
such is the nature of spring

Thoughts jumble and crowd my mind this morning. I’ve been pondering the words spoken last evening. Dueling with myself… respond… be silent… respond… be silent. Life has changed over the past few years. The definition of “I love this place.” isn’t the same. Today, it is just words spoken in order to convince. There doesn’t appear to be action in those words. If one looked, really looked, they would see empty platitudes given to those hanging on in hopes of seeing and experiencing this love of yours you speak of. Instead, one mimeographed letter addressed to the whole no phone calls, no emails, no visits, no returned anything you ghosted. Definitely, no leadership/shepherding experiences were seen by me.

Hmmm, perhaps best left right here where one knows it won’t be noticed.

White rose bushes are in full bloom. Beautiful to look at.

Missed an early morning call from the boy. No answer on the return call.

The man sleeps.

Mass tonight @ St John’s 8pm.

Hanging plants need water. Flowerbeds need a quick weed pull. Short pick up/drop off late afternoon. Couple of letters to write. Praying for rain.

Day 3 stationary bike… the knee is tolerating it.

Overgrazing

Newport&Nichel

Been watching this piece of land for over a year. Whoever owns it has systematically destroyed it. 1st came filling the natural waterfowl ravines with riffraff and downed trees and shrubs, then dirt. Then came the steers and bunker feeder. Then, more steers. Finally, it looks like he figured it out and moved the cattle. Hopefully, he will let this pasture, which should hold “NO MORE”, than 6 steers rest for a year.

Well, I sit and wonder Trump was indicted due to classified documents. Are they going to indict Biden? Clinton? and every other person who had classified documents? I am so irritated with the government right now I could spit. Billions of dollars are being wasted because someone is having a hissy fit over someone else having something they want or want someone else to have.

This is exactly the outcome one would expect to have with a bunch of spoiled brats. Time to remove them all and clean house.

Hoping for more of a home day today. My house is a mess.
