I must be going out of my mind, I can hear a cell phone alarm but I cannot find the device. No one else seems to hear it. Please please tell me it is not a new form of tinnitus

Here we are again, last day of the month. How was your May? Mine was way too busy, I was very scattered, there was too much work, and I felt too lazy many days. Guess what? I get another chance to do it better. To focus more on my relationship with Christ. To be less busy, less concerned about getting things done. Less opinionated…haha this is a good one.

Will someone please tell me why, no, never mind, forget it…I don’t need to know.

The street was redone yesterday. Looks nice.

I missed telling Terry S happy birthday on the 27th

I missed telling Sue C happy birthday on the 28th

Hope everyone is doing fine

Know you are prayed for

The man sleeps

The girl and husband showed up last evening late with a pontoon I keep trying to tell her we are downsizing but apparently, she’s not listening. I’m sure she will have fun with it.

The auction yesterday was successful. It might well be the best auction they’ve had there.

I was asked about the Evangelical Catholic program. After much googling, reading, etc. No thanks…too protestant for me. Jesus called 12 to lead his church. He calls everyone to believe and follow him. I can believe, most days I can follow. Somedays I want to live my faith quietly. I NEVER want my faith to come off as an in-your-face sort of thing. I always want my faith to be seen in my actions and speech. Somedays I fail at that. I think it is fine to be a Martha or a Mary. I think first you believe, you get to know who Jesus is, you make him the most important part of your life, you chose a spouse who feels the same way. You create your domestic church, raise your family pass on to them the need for a personal relationship, show them how to begin, encourage it, and participate in it. When you have guests invite them to join you in your rosary hour, invite them to Mass with you. Include them in your daily ritual. Pray before and after your meal, even in public. In short, live your life showing it outwardly all the time.

Know you are prayed for.

Coffee leftover…okay

the man sleeps

the mulching finished

New gravel added to the driveway by the street. Slow but sure the honey-do shrinks.

Interesting experience yesterday with the local sheriff’s department dispatcher (she was a bully on the phone to me) when I called to ask a question. I have yet to decide if I plan to file a formal complaint or not. Prayers for discernment, please.

The office area is in definite need of cleaning and decluttering. I’m not quite sure how it gets this way.

Copy job to get to today.
