How many drops of maple tree sap does it take to make a gallon?
Why do non Amish people park in front of hitching posts?
Why are the window cashiers at WCCU so slow to come to the window, seem like they are going to catch some kind of germ thru the window, and last but not least, slow as molasses in January?

RIAY Day 149 Littleness Before the Lord
The bridal wreath shrubs are outstanding this year. I am always amazed by how lovely they make the yard look.
Today’s plan is to see “The Last Rodeo” at 1pm at the Sparta 6. We’ve been trying to catch decent movies there when we can. A great senior price of $8 and an awesome $5 Mondays (ticket & popcorn). In June, we have “The Ritual” on the list. This movie is an authentic portrayal of the Emma Schmidt exorcisms (the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history). Perhaps July will find us watching the new “Superman” movie, and in August, “Americana”.

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields;
for your tempted priests;
for your lonely and desolate priests;
for your young priests;
for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests in purgatory.
But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me:
the priest who baptized me;
the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially …).
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.
Amen.

RIAY Day 147 Fullness of Victory
Take stock of where you are in your faith life. Do you have one? Do you want one? Do you pray daily? Do you want to? Is Jesus important to you? Do you really want him to be? How can you have a relationship if you don’t work on one? If the only time you spend getting to know him and letting him know you is fleeting at best, you will not have the relationship you want/need/yearn for. Take stock of where you are heading. Your eternal life depends on it.

that she may best apply them in the interests of
Thy Most Sacred Heart.
Precious Blodd of Jesus, save us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
Lord Jesus,
I come before You just as I am.
I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins,
please forgive me.
In Your name,
I forgive all others for what they have done against me.
I renounce Satan, the evil spirits, and all their works.
I give You my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever.
I invite You into my life Jesus.
I accept You as my Lord and Savior.
Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body soul, and spirit.
Come Lord Jesus wash me with Your precious blood,
fill me with Your Holy Spirit.
Coffee excellent!
