Best Dude worked the night shift last evening, so it was my first overnight alone with Sally. She did pretty well, all things considering. She has a habit of following me around he house–even when Best Dude is at home & this habit of hers did not cease when he left. We took out evening [...]
HAPPY EASTER! I have not written much during these past few days, but our life has been hectic. On Saturday, Best Dude & I adopted our dog. She is an English Springer Spaniel whom we found with the help of a rescue organization. We call our two-year-old female dog Sally. Sally came to the rescue [...]
Isn’t technology great? Last night I signed up with LIVESTRONG.com & created my own food diary. If truth be told, I am still working my way around the site, but I DO have my LIVESTRONG profile up & running. I still need to figure out how the fitness-tracking works, but I am confident that I’ll [...]
I’ve been a blogger since blogging began. My first blog was on a now-defunct site whose name I cannot remember now. Anyhow, the site’s software was primitive, but I DO remember my friend, Greg’s screen name. It was : Greatcow95. You must know Greg in person to appreciate his affinity for bovine animals :O). I [...]
{Mark 8-11-26} Today’s Gospel lesson has Jesus frustrated. Apparently the Pharisees are doing what Pharisees do best, which is challenge Our Lord. Today we find them demanding that Jesus show them a ” sign” that He is Who He says He is{ and is the Savior that we modern Christians know Him to be} They [...]
I am deviating from my RCL blogging today to address an issue that is pertinent. Best Dude & I had a GREAT Feast of St Patrick Weekend. We went to Pensacola all day on Saturday & spent the day walking around downtown. Our priest’s rock & roll band { yes!!} played at a beer join [...]
{ Mark 24-37} We read a lot in the Gospels about the relationship between Jews & Gentiles. Apparently the two groups did not like each other much. Today’s Gospel, once again, has Jesus working against the ” norm” . He is Jewish, yet when the Gentile woman came to Him for healing of her daughter, [...]
Psalm 95 I love music. As a matter of fact, it is my love of music that helped me first come to know Jesus as our LORD & Savior. My family is not a churchgoing group. With our dad raised as a Roman Catholic & Mom raised as Jewish, my younger brother & I grew [...]
Today’s Epistle really spoke to me. Listen to these words concerning KNOWLEDGE versus LOVE. Th letter-writer says: “”Anyone who claims to know something does not yet have the necessary knowledge,but anyone who loves God is known by Him.” { 1 Corinthians 8:3} God knows us , & he loves us. It matters not how smart [...]
Today’s Gospel has Jesus returning to His hometown. Rather than lauds, he faces harsh judgement & criticism by the people who knew Him when he was young. Every year, I spend approximately one week up North. While I do anticipate this trip with joy, there is a bit of apprehension that follows me on the [...]
