The Mop, The Lily and the Bunny

 I live in a rather ordinary Garden Apartment Complex in an inner suburb of DC located in Northern Virginia.

 I was running a BIT late this Good Friday AM, but I noticed that my mop was still on the balcony drying out after my last using it. Noting , to myself, that, My Complex was threatening to fine people for " making their balcony unsightly".

So, I brought the mop in. I noticed that it was actually relatively warm and sunny. I was given an Easter Lily that started to bloom just yesterday and so I set that on the balcony to have a chance to bask in the sunshine.

I then finally got out the door and going. Right after clearing the outside steps of My Apartment, A small gray young rabbit came out of the underbrush and scampered right in front of me.

 The Mop caused me to value and display The Lily. If I'd left on time. I would have missed the bunny.

It seems that I was being focused as I started my day's journey on Good Friday and the Easter Season.

Is THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Allowed and

permitted to be Catholic?


On This First Day of the Pontificate of Francis the First, I'd like to offer some words. In recent days and weeks, I've heard and read many commentaries that presume to lecture the Catholic Church on how policies, dogma, traditions and beliefs either must be radically changed or abandoned!


Is the Catholic Church allow3ed to be governed by its' theology, ethics and traditions. May it conduct itself according to how they believe God is directing them to do so?

You would never impose such standards on others- Why do you feel that you have a right to dictate acceptable governing and conduct standards for the Catholic Church ?

18000 Plus hits on My Blog

A rather modest total to be sure- but still progress.

The Future is bright

I need to let it develop properly in the time it needs. Trying to hurry and overly control leads yo messes and disaster!

I do not do well without fun and ...

fascinating human interaction- face to face interaction. This is a tough week for me- Failed Connection and snow will likely make this a VERYYYYY LONGGGGG week!

There is A price for bitterness.

 A rather steep one!

A Woman dies at 84 and is cremated. Two people are there  to receive the urn. Only one of the two is related to the deceased.

This is an outcome of a life of fury and bitterness. God, Please help me to learn to forgive more easily and readily!
