Day #6 Intermittent Fasting… continue to work on drinking more water and increase walking.  Knee pain continues to be an issue. Not at all impressed with the recipes on this program nor the new age words they are using to coach or the assumption everyone struggles to fast. But there are some good things as well. No results as yet, but I am told that’s normal.

Another very interesting Bible Study class. No class next week.

DS#2 arrived yesterday. He mowed the lawn and gathered all the lawn furniture. It is now put away for the season. It’s so nice to have the help to get it done.

No word from friend HenryLinda after their move. A week today since they left.

Need to get 2 Hibiscus in the ground and 4 rose bushes moved. St. Francis should come in for the winter. Horseradish should be dug.

Need to have: hearing aides checked and updated, November cards ready, pick up paint for the office, trim paint for the house, car washed/vacuumed, and go to confession

K… ck with A for your stuff.

The Church struggles today. The parishioners struggle. It is hard to believe (at times) there is any interest in the parishioners other than the gaining of their $$. When is the last time your minister knocked on your door, called you on the phone, or even sent a txt? When was the last time you did this to them? What used to be set in stone isn’t any longer. At times, it seems to be the thought that those who continue as they were taught are considered ridged and judgemental. While reading Exodus, when Moses went up on Mt Sinai for 40 days and nights, he returned to find the people doing their own thing. I was thinking if that was today… someone would have canceled Moses and replaced him with someone less demanding. Someone who wouldn’t return to the mountain to get the 2nd copy of the commandments.

Waiting…

In the scriptures, the word wait means to hope, to anticipate, and to trust. To hope and trust in the Lord requires faith, patience, humility, meekness, long-suffering, keeping the commandments, and enduring to the end.

In the dictionary…

  • the action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or until something else happens.”years of waiting”
  • official attendance at court.

Day #5 Intermittent Fast still need more water and walking… fairly soon, I will be able to float.  Surprisingly, this has not been a hard thing. But then there have been no results either.  Perhaps as long as I am fasting, I should do that for reparation. Something to consider.

Bible Study class tonight.

Happy birthday, Jessica.

Thanks, M&V, for an enjoyable time last evening at Badger Crossing. Getting together with you two is always good.

Laundy… a must

Homework for Bible Study almost finished. This week spells out the borders of Israel, as stated in the Bible. It’s been interestingly insightful.

The News companies are not doing their jobs. Once again, they are trying to lead us away from knowing what the government would rather we didn’t talk about.

1) biden impeachment

2) h biden hearings

3) trump difficulties

4) rise in cost of living

5) cost of fuel for cars

6) lack of workers

7) rise in give-a-ways to people who won’t work

8) illegal alien free pass (our poor would like to live this well)

9) ridiculously high rent costs

10) Where’s the utility discount for going ulternitive… only seeing a raise in costs

Etc

Reading Exodus…

20:23. Do not make anything to rank with me; neither gods of silver nor gods of gold shall you make for yourself.

Did you know an ancient symbol of obedience was a pierced ear?

Hebrews 13:4-5a. Let marriage be honored among all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and adulterers. Let your life be free from love of money, but be content with what you have,

Happy 20 Birthday Keziah

Furnace kaput, new one comes Thursday. Better now than January.

Yard art has been gathered up for storage. One last weed pull.

The fallow time is coming. A time to be unproductive so as to resore ourselves. It’s a time to read books, have good conversation, evaluate the path you walk, write letters, and fix what ails you.
