The Frog and The Scorpion

You just can't help but get a dig in at Doug Ford.  😐  I wish we could keep politics out of Church. It was supposed to be an informative charity pitch, and I was with you until the Ford bashing.

To be fair, the cuts are necessary because of the Liberals.  They were not good stewards.  They not only spent every cent that they took from us in taxes, they borrowed more money to spend to buy votes from the electorate.  We have no choice but to cut now.  We have to be responsible, or there will be no money later for what we need.  If I have $75 in interest payments on my Mastercard every month, that's $75 less I have to spend on pizza, work boots, rent, etc...  As it is now, the INTEREST on the Ontario debt--the fv3 <ing interest--would build a new hospital in the province every 90 days.  We have to make cuts.  We've been irresponsible.  And...AND!, we're passing the bill to our fv3 <ing kids!  We can live comfortably with all the services we want--they won't be able to--and they will pick up our bill for us.  How selfish is that?  I've been told that it is the fourth budget line item!  Interest on the debt!

P.S.  Search my blog for "Ahh".

My favorite hymn for Evening Prayer, it reminds me of St. Gregory's Abbey.

Opus Dei

I keep thinking of the Opus Dei organization.  The idea of dedicating your work to God is appealing.  It's hard for a widget maker to find good in my work, especially considering work sanctified.  It's easier if you help people I think.  How do you sanctify all work?

Trust

Psalm 25 wasn't the only scripture to get my attention today, although the psalm hit very close to home.  In reading about the food God sent the Hebrews in the desert, I picked up on something that I hadn't noticed before.  At least, I don't remember it.  I know that if they tried to save what they gathered that it would spoil on the second day.  What I learned was that they had to gather double on the day before the Sabbath.  It was to be a day of rest dedicated to God, and they were not to work--even by gathering food.  The food gathered before the Sabbath did not spoil.

I can feel the lump in my throat and I just want to cry and cry and cry.

Psalm 25:17 NIV

Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish.
