Wonderful supper last evening at P & T’s, good time had by all

Ponder… “it isn’t that you could not be saved; it is that you would not be saved“
Heard this last evening on my way home while listening to Christian radio. I do not remember the speaker’s name or his religious affiliation. (He was not Catholic) His words circled around my brain until I finally had Google make a note on my phone. This morning I look/think more closely. I thought about can I lose my salvation… yes I believe I can if I use the free will given me to walk away from God. To me, that is the key… I chose to walk away. I chose to be of the world. I chose to think oh if I take a break from all this God stuff he will surely take me back. The problem with this line of thinking is once you make your choice to walk away it is hard to turn your thinking around to coming back. Satan (who is very real and very active in your life) has a way of turning thoughts to Oh I’ll do that later right now I want to do this. Scripture: Heb 6; Gal 5:1-5; Rev 22:19; Eph 5:3-5; 1 Cor 6:9; Gal 5:19; Rev 21:6-8; 1 Cor 9:27; Matt 6:15,21-35, 10:22-32; Luke 12:41-46; 1 Cor 15:1-2; Col 1:22-23; Heb 3:6,14; 2Pet 2:2-22; Rev 2:10, 25:26, 3:1-5

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (Federal Holiday)

“And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’“

Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Dec. 10, 1964. He said he accepted the honor on behalf of the civil rights movement “in recognition that non-violence is the answer to the civil, political, and moral questions of our time.”

Typical Monday in the works here this morning. Waiting to see if there are any closers or delays in the school day

Copywork finished yesterday

Jack Frost was in the garden;
I saw him there at dawn;
He was dancing round the bushes
And prancing on the lawn. 
He had a cloak of silver,
A hat all shimm’ring white,
A wand of glittering star-dust,
And shoes of sunbeam light.
(John P. Smeetion, 19th century)

Keep safe and warm today.

0330 adventure… bus came in from an Amish funeral in OH. I ended up taking 4 families home on less-than-stellar roads. My deepest thanks to Scott in the Town of Clinton for his quick response and rescue from hood high drifts on Ogden. You went above and beyond, may God richly bless you for your kindness. All were delivered safely thanks to you. My deepest thanks also to Mlsna Dairy & Cory Leis for their efforts. It is wonderful to live in an area where neighbors are neighbors and all pull together. Yes, I know, what on earth possessed me to do this, in this type of weather? My hope is someone will do this for me when I am stranded in a blizzard. We don’t always get to pick how things work for the good of God. This time God’s mercy shined through. For that, I praise and thank him.

Two copy jobs were completed with one in the wings to go. This is a good day to get everything finished up. I doubt I will make it further than Mass at 4pm across the road.

Please say a prayer for a young woman “AM” who will be having surgery this coming week. May God and St. Peregrine come to her aid.
