Today is the last Auction of the season, and it is a big one. Items have been showing up since Monday, and the auction yard is full. I will be delivering the donuts about 7am… fresh, yummy glazed. Looking forward to lunch with a good friend after I deliver the workshop workers. Early evening it is off to Stoddard to pick up the fishermen and return them home.

I am a blest woman.

Soggy and damp outside this morning. A chill in the air and no doubts about the possibility of slick roads in the valleys. Yesterday I noted 30° on E Norweign Rd at 7AM.
Today I’ll be in LaCrosse for most of the day. 1 copy job completed.

October has 10 days left to it. Moving quickly isn’t it? Think about that. There are no guarantees for tomorrow. Get to confession, go to mass… even if you don’t feel like it, even if you don’t believe. If you are right, you’ve lost nothing. If you are wrong, you’ve lost everything when your time is up. It is never too late; there is no “too big” a sin that can’t be confessed and forgiven. Do what it takes. At least, start your list.

Meditations for Each Day pg.419: The First Part of the Our Father – _{“We must not allow ourselves to become absorbed in insignificant worldly objects, which can never completely satisfy us. rather must we keep our minds on God.”}

Good Morning! We have been “blest” to wake up to another Monday morning. I often forget that I wake at the leisure of God. Seeing another sunrise is not a given for sure thing. It is a gift from God himself to me. Another chance to work on my relationship with him and draw myself closer to him.

“Each new day, including this one, is an opportunity to begin something new. I’m praying for your fresh start.”

Today is my day off. I have every intention of enjoying it. I ran across a new-to-me book called “The Mothers’ Rosary” by Paula Capps. It speaks to saying the rosary for the intentions of your children. I’m kicking around the idea of a rosary group composed of mothers whose children have fallen away from or have become lukewarm in the faith (regardless of age). Wondering if anyone else has an interest in this?

Today I am thinking about Saul, one of the most evil men in the New Testament. I’m thinking about the persecutions, the ribald comments, the prideful way he conducted himself. I’m thinking about how GOD changed him and his ways and named him Paul… St. Paul. I’m thinking about how he saved many along the way, changing hearts, situations, and thought processes. People who hated him, wanted him dead, had nothing good to say about him, and saw nothing good in him. GOD CHANGED EVIL to GOOD by USING an EVIL MAN and CHANGING HIM to GOOD. I wonder how long it took? I wonder how long it took people to see the change in him? I wonder if he wondered how long it would last? Then, I think of President Trump, and yes, I think changes are being made. I wonder how long it will take and if it will last, and if people can/will see that change. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=saul+paul+bible&&mid=4221AFF7D9658616B8384221AFF7D9658616B838&FORM=VAMGZC
