Outside My Window…
11:30 pm:
The dark of near-midnight… 53° according to my google desktop gadget.
I am pondering…
tonight’s RCIA class on the sacraments of Confession and Anointing of the Sick, and how extraordinarily blessed we are to have Fr. Lankeit as our pastor. He is a brilliant communicator, but more importantly, he simply radiates holiness and a passion to lead his flock to sainthood.
I am thankful for…
my brother, Jeff, who took the time this evening to pray some of the rosary with mother, the children, and me.
From the kitchen…
the delicious scent of pork shoulder stew,
with potatoes,
carrots,
onions,
red bell pepper,
green onions,
kale,
collard greens,
mustard greens,
cabbage,
celery,
minced garlic,
&
diced tomatoes
I am wearing…
one of my newer shirts, denim, with a touch of ruffle, and the basic uniform black pants with my New Balance walking shoes, which I need to wear consistently again for a while since my feet are reacting to the fancier but less supportive dress shoes I recently acquired with Christmas money.
I am creating…
I have plans for several afghans that are on hold until I have yarn money again.
I am going…
to walk in the morning with my lovely little cherubs, which means I can’t dilly about here too much longer…
I am reading…
Home Fires, if I can ever sit still long enough to start… but what I heard about today while listening to an interview with Scott Hahn on Catholic Answers Live, and I have now placed at the top of my to-read list, was:
Covenant and Communion: The Biblical Theology of Pope Benedict XVI
by Scott Hahn
I am hoping…
Ahhh, too many intentions to even enumerate… prayers could keep me up all through the night. And maybe they should…
I am hearing…
The refrigerator hum. A clackety-clack from my son’s keyboard.
Around the house…
My living room rug is rumpled and I fear death-by-carpet will ensue if I do not find a way to permanently fix it down. Various states of disarray, but nothing out of the ordinary.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Find that which has been lost — a prescription has gone missing, an MP3 has gone missing, and I foresee an upending of the house tomorrow in order that at least the first item be found.
Here is picture thought I am sharing…
