The weekend has arrived. Gibbs will be with us today. Doing October’s budget sheet. Headed for Mass at 4pm SH as will be gone for SJ 8pm. Need to read and contemplate chapter 2 of the IGSTM for next Thurs. Laundry needs to be finished.

The hand gaining. Cooler weather brings out the ache in the knees. Gotta love the golden years.

Need to gather items for the burning barrel. Also need to give thought to placement of the generator, boxing of garage sale items, removal of junk.

I bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my heart exhorts me. 8 I keep the LORD always before me; with him at my right hand, I shall never be shaken.c 9Therefore my heart is glad, my soul rejoices;my body also dwells secure,10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,nor let your devout one see the pit.*d 11 You will show me the path to life,abounding joy in your presence,the delights at your right hand forever.

Book discussion went well, by that I mean we all showed up, had read the chapter, and then we commenced catching up with each other and wondered why we hadn’t done this before now. Time was too short, but so good. Next week same time.

Today I drive my neighbor to an appointment and back. Then mid afternoon I pick up a teacher and take her home. Another fun, easy day. For this I am grateful.

Today is ORANGE SHIRT DAY… a day to remember the native american/canadian children who were abused, neglected, and murdered in the Indian Boarding schools of the US & Canada. 973 children died in Federal Indian Boarding Schools in America. Estimates of deaths in Canadian schools range from 3,200 to 30,000. Take a moment today to educate yourself in regards to the mistreatment of indigenous children and adults in North America. In today’s world there are 5,712 reports of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women. Only 116 of these reports made it into the US Department of Justice federal missing persons data base. https://www.nativehope.org/missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-mmiw
Wear the orange shirt today. Pray for them to be found and pray for the souls who died.

WE live in a cruel, sadistic world. The USA isn’t the only place this happens, it is world wide. Today weems especially evil as many have turned their backs on God and made the decision to indulge in their base human nature.
