RIAY Day 73 Seek Him
St Joseph Novena Day 5
Memory Verse – Ephesians 1:16-18 – “do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him. May the eyes of [your] hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones,”

Finally caught up with sleep. Amazing what that will do for a person. The office is serviceable. The laundry caught up. The kitchen floor isn’t sticky. Mail caught up. Birthday greetings currant. I have dropped the ball, that’s for sure. I even got the seat covers on the van seats and have the SUV covers ready to put on. Who knows what might happen before Monday? Bit the bullet and bought a new laminator. Contemplating a new phone, as the battery in mine isn’t holding a charge very well. Just don’t want to spend the $$. Working on correspondence I’m behind in, as well.

RIAY Day 72– Don’t Wait in Vain
St Joseph Novena Day 4
Memory Verse 1 Timothy 1:18-20 – “I entrust this charge to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophetic words once spoken about you. Through them may you fight a good fight by having faith and a good conscience. Some, by rejecting conscience, have made a shipwreck of their faith, among them Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.”

BLASPHEME… speaking _{(swear, curse, utter oaths, utter profanities, take the Lord’s name in vain)} irreverently about God or sacred things. Also note that when Paul says he handed them over to Satan he meant excommunicated them come parc this with 1 Corinthians 5:5 and 1 Timothy 1:13.

That definition sort of jumped off the page because many times I day I can find myself saying things like OMG, or ‘what the hell’, and cursing-profanities is the norm these days. It is used in public as often as saying “hello”.

St. Joseph Novena Day 1.

Morning,

My weekend was peaceful, how was yours? 
The man is in the south for the next few days, so I’m on my own with the coffee maker from hell.  The remodel is coming together with a laptop and printer.  Books are finding their way to the shelves. One of the bedrooms is sleepable.  The other is on the remodel list. The entire upstairs needs new flooring.  Until then, we make due. 
The decision to stop driving has been made. June 1 it is. Should anyone be interested in taking the workshop route, contact Chester at the leather shop; he’s looking for someone.

Coffee okay, made it myself

Well DST arrived this morning.  Where are all you gotta have longer sunshine people?  My bet? A sleep.

NOTE… The totally unnecessary and ineffective daylight time will begin once again on Sunday at 2 AM. All get to have our natural body upset for 8 months under the guise of saving energy. That is total BS.

Today
-Read Psalms 103-105
-RIAY Day 66– Pray and wait
-Memory Verse –2 Peter 1:5-9 – For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. If these are yours and increase in abundance, they will keep you from being idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Anyone who lacks them is blind and shortsighted, forgetful of the cleansing of his past sins.

It’s good to be home. I did some awesome thrifting along the way. I now have the iron bed frame for the second spare room, an original St. Isaac of Syria Icon of Jesus Enthroned, and an Italian platter and storage jar. I will brag about the minuscule amount of currency needed for these purchases.

I’d best get a move on here.

Know you are prayed for.

RIAY Day 65 Returning Home
Memory Verse – Matthew 15:21-28 – Then Jesus went from that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.”  He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”  But the woman came and did him homage, saying, “Lord, help me.” He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Morning!
