Our Weekend

It was actually hot this weekend. Mind you, not Alabama hot, but 90 degrees is plenty warm no matter where you are. We got some work done around the house and yard on Saturday, then took early "church showers" and went to the vigil Mass. St. Mary's is a pretty little mission church; the first church to be built in this area. Fr. Harris, a retired priest in resident, was observing the 60th anniversary of his ordination. He passed out prayer cards after Mass with a picture of himself on that day 60 years ago. It is hard for me to imagine the dedication of a priest who has been ordained twice as long as I have been alive!

I have an update on Karen, the midwife. I talked to Amanda (her daughter-in-law) today, and she has not passed yet. There is no improvement, however, and it doesn't sound as if there is any chance for her to get better. Still, she is peaceful and at home surrounded by her family. That in itself is a blessing, and talking to Amanda it sounds as if the family is holding up well. Please continue to pray for her, and for all the sick and dying and their families.

I hope we all have a wonderful week!

God bless!
