Book– The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store-James McBride

Did you know soy candles (jelly jar size) will burn for almost 4 days in a votive lightkeeper? For those who keep a vigil candle burning on their home altar. White linen is my personal favorite.

The new liturgical year begins Dec 1st. Do you have plans to make this year the year you cultivate a close personal relationship with Christ? I hope so, truly I do. Pray for me to accomplish this more fully as I will pray for you. Habits will have to change. Sacrifices in your time will need to be made. satan does not like us to think of Christ so be prepared to experience difficulty… persevere!

Coffee good… in my new cup from my friend MD… I love it!

Happy Birthday to my gdd Haley. Have an awesome day!

Crazy weather here… rainy in the 50’s, it’s November for cryin’ out loud. This dampness is killing my joints.

Let’s talk about Thanksgiving. Do you have any rituals that you go thru? Any recipes that must be made for that day? What do you do all day? We head to my Sil’s for dinner looking forward to it. Take a moment and search for Thanksgiving scriptures to use.

Advent begins Dec 1. St Andrew’s Christmas Novena begins Nov 30. Found a cute Advent calendar in the thrift shop. Need to find trinkets for the drawers. My Advent wreath is ready to be put together too. This year it is very different than years gone by. I’m looking forward to it.

As normal I am behind. Have one trip to do today. Planning to be home before 5.

Tea…Earl Grey

Got back last night around 1230. Looking forward to a nice, quiet, normal week.

Our border gave notice for the end of the month. She has been a pleasure to have around. So glad she found a reasonably priced place closer to her work still not too far from here. She will be missed.

The man should return today. Will be nice to have him home.

The new planner is slowly being updated. Birthdays, anniversaries, payment dates, renewal dates, to-do lists, inventory sheets, etc. You would call it more of a home organizer than a work planner. Looking forward to getting it together.

The mind is blank this morning.

Bogata Breakfast black tea this morning…Missoula Tea company https://www.montanatea.com/

The man is in Iowa till tomorrow

I’m miffed, and that is putting it mildly… last evening… 4 min early start, with a 36-minute start to finish. Once again rushing so quickly responses could not even be said before he started another phrase. The message started out well, and I thought, “Oh, I’d never thought about that” It quickly reverted into an all about him and his experience (once again). I’ve become used to this and realized it would be this way tonight when he was early, drenched in aftershave and dressed up. Why it bothered me more this time? In attendance was someone who had recently returned after 5 years; remembering how it used to be and getting the drive-thru show instead.

Mark 13:24-32

Jesus said to his disciples:
“In those days after that tribulation
the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will be falling from the sky,
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

“And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’
with great power and glory,
and then he will send out the angels
and gather his elect from the four winds,
from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.

“Learn a lesson from the fig tree.
When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves,
you know that summer is near.
In the same way, when you see these things happening,
know that he is near, at the gates. 
Amen, I say to you,
this generation will not pass away
until all these things have taken place. 
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.

“But of that day or hour, no one knows,
neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

Navigational instruments to be assured but were they not also considered gods?

Late afternoon I head to Iowa to drop off a couple at home. I’m looking forward to a slower-paced week ahead of me.

Tonight I do a quick run to drop off a couple in IA and turn around bringing another couple back.

Morrison, IL country peaceful

Today, we remember my mom, who would have been 91. May she rest in peace.

Heading home this afternoon.

My car is finished, body damage repaired, and snow tires mounted.

The Loaner needs returning.

Weather is misty, foggy, and chilly here. I will not complain. After all, it is mid November and that could be snow on the ground.

Slept too well last night.

You?
