All Saints Day–Holy Day of Obligation

Sunday we go back to real time.

Copy job completed

3 pick up and drop-offs to complete and one trip to Lansing, IA

My car should be done on Tues. I hope it is sooner.

Books on my list: Lukewarmness, Living a Simple Life

The knee is screaming this morning, gotta love cold, damp weather. The hand about the same. The feet need to be worked on again. The golden years… vacuum.

Contrary to popular opinion it does all come down to…

WITHOUT LIFE EVERYTHING ELSE DOES NOT MATTER.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I am weary. How could we have let things get so out of hand?

Know you are prayed for.

Happy Anni to H&L M and congrats on your new land purchase.

Good rain last evening… continuing into today

My long-awaited planner from the ChristianBook sellers came yesterday… defective. sigh. back it goes. Waiting for return label.

Knees are crazy this morning… cold weather is coming in. The hand still numb but gaining.

Last day of the month. Where’d it all go so fast.

Pondering…

Matthew 9:28
When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him.

“Blind men” am I/ can I be blind to what Jesus is doing in my life? Do I really/honestly/truly believe he can do this? Am I/will I wait for Him to work in my life or will I be impatient, doing it myself, because I want it done now? If I do that, then do I truly believe he can do this?

Finally the right loaner. Not sure how long my vehicle will be in the shop. IMNSHO… new car technology is an accident waiting to happen. Cannot believe all the bells and whistles on this 2024 Expedition. Took 20 minutes to figure out how to put it in drive, reverse, liftgate, radio, well you get the picture. The board is way too bright even in the dark phase. I couldn’t change a tire if my life depended on it. No wonder they have a $75,000.00 sticker on it. Total waste of money. Glad the insurance co is footing the bill on this one. With THIS vehicle I can totally understand seatbelts/child seats… no way can your attention be focused on the road and your driving. Time to go back to the plain janes and let the limo company handle all the new-fangled stuff. Good grief, the road is not a place to be entertained.

Another new baby boy… David… mom and baby are good.

Girl Scout “gender ideology” is the reason the Ohio Archbishop Cincinnati ended the long-standing partnership (110 yrs) with Girl Scouts. I was glad to hear about this. The GSUSA has been out of sync with church teachings for decades. Hope the entire USA does the same.

Sessi will be manning the porch for Trick or Treat night this year.

The hand gaining, still pins & needles but no pain to speak of. The knee knows cold weather is coming. The feet know it too.

Today I ponder the pace of life… Satan wants to keep us too busy to have a meaningful family relationship. Don’t let that happen.

Rental Car during body shop repair… dismal failure… original full of pot smoke so have to wait for them to get another in…. meanwhile bodyshop has my vehicle but I doubt they will be doing anything thing quickly. Good indication when the boss of the shop takes the vehicle intended as a replacement vehicle for his private use the same morning the car is to be given to a customer. Then the car rental agency replacement is a snafu and the vehicle you end up with is a piece of work. The seats are so hard it’s like sitting on a brick. It is one-third the size you need. It took 20 mins to figure out how to turn it on, put it in gear, and change gears, all the while you are smashed in like a pretzel in a tin can. Yep, making chiro appointments today for yesterday and will probably have to go each day while I have this piece of kaka.

What a joke.

Scammers through and through

WOKE

Progressive

Idiots

34 calls in 10 days

Harassment plain and simple

Let’s see if they comprehend

DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER AGAIN

I doubt it since they worked it to be exempt from the DoNotCall list.

Wonder who they paid off

The man has taken my vehicle to body shop for damage repair from last Sept.

300+ miles from 1130pm to present. Life is always interesting. Bacon & Sausage was excellent with my coffee. The winter-enclosed front porch is wonderful. Had a chance to speak with Z by phone yesterday. She is home from hosp and has a very determined attitude about life getting back to normal.

Pondering John the Baptist’s statement “I am not the Christ” John 1:20 Those words said in my heart could help me get over myself and begin a close personal relationship with Jesus. I am not the Christ, I am not the creator nor savior.

Mass 8AM

The hand, sensitivity almost normal, pins and needles still present. Probably always will be. Thinking I need to do some strength training on it.

Many thanks to B&G Landscaping for racking the yard yesterday. We are grateful.

Zari is gaining. Word has it if all goes well she will go home today. Long recovery road ahead but she will recover.

Ends of porch – enclosed. Thank you Sessi for all your help. It was greatly appreciated.

Upstairs spare room in order. Ready for next visitor.

Dining room in order. This is the location I found the lost earing dangle. St Anthony did his job well. I can once again enjoy wearing them.

Car to body shop tomorrow for damage done by deer.

Know you are prayed for.

Slept like the dead.

Thanksgiving cactus has buds

Today I am home. My plan is to keep it that way all weekend. Who knows may even get this house cleaned. Sounds like the porch will get enclosed today. Am thinking that is not a bad idea.

Waiting for an update on Zari.

Pondering… life in general today. Especially my role in the scheme of things. You?
