Wednesday sixth

 May the 6th be with you. On the fourth people said may the 4th be with you.  If you were a Christian I could say may peace be with you. Which is something we all want so makes more sense. I'm not sure having a force to lift people in the air and stop lasers is that good.

I read the government is forcing councils to amalgamate. I'm sure there are lots of arguments for and against. Maybe TC will fill us in in a post. 

Hanatavirus is in in the news. It started on a cruise ship of course. It comes from dried rodent's excrement. Three have died. Not rodents. I wonder if RBB kills mice. He likes flies which also carry desease.

In the first reading they are arguing about circumcision. Acts 15:1-6. It leaves us in the air. Spoiler alert, I think Paul convinces Peter that it is not necessary anymore. It's not really a health concern but regards the gentiles and observing the old Jewish laws in general. 

In the Gospel Jesus gives RBB another analogy of his relationship to us since RBB has issues with the shepherd and sheep. In John 15:1-8 he says He is a vine and we are the branches. This time the Father is the gardener with the pruning shears cutting off branches that don't bear fruit. Those branches can do nothing without Jesus and wither and are thrown on the fire. I'm sure RBB wont have any problems with that as he does cut grass and prune the trees in his front yard. 

That's about all. I have work today. That doesn't mean I didn't have work yesterday. It's like how it says that the BVM was a virgin 'until' she had Jesus. It doesn't mean she wasn't afterwards!

Have fun and try to find peace on your own. Good luck with that.

Tuesday

 Sorry. Running late listening to Gavin Ortland and Trent Horn.

Hi ho hi ho....

 In today's reading Paul tell's a man who had never walked to get to his feet and he did. So everyone there thought Paul was a god and called him Hermes. They called Barnaba 'Zeus'.

Jesus tells us that anyone who loves him will keep his (Jesus' ) word and the Father will love him too.

Well I'm getting back on my feet and returning to work. My supervisor text yesterday indicating she would like me back so I went to the after hours and got a med cert to return today. It'll save some sick leave and be good to get back into the rut.

I drove up and went to Mass at St Bridgets in Feilding yesterday and had KFC with my darling L. 

Better dig out my uniform and have some muesli.

If you sin, repent and go to confession to a Catholic priest. Though you probabaly have to be Catholic, which everyone should be anyway.

Second

 In today's readings the Jew's get jealous of the success of Paul and Barnabas and kick them out of town.

Jesus speaks rather mysteriously of him and the father being united.."To have seen me is to have seen the Father".

I took some hydranga cuttings to the tip. A salvation army shop truck pulled up beside me and threw away some nice looking beds, sofas and table and chairs. I thought I would have put them in my house. So it goes.

Rosary, Mass and confession this morning. Might drive up to the grave after. On the way to the tip I looked down on the Hutt River near Stokes valley thinking it might be pleasant to have a cast into it. The back drop of the golf course gave it a look of seclusion. I've paid for a licence but haven't used it this season. 

Home made Muesli for breakfast. I found an easy recipe in which you just 'fry' the oats and nuts briefly then add whatever dried fruit you like.

Have fun and don't sin.

 

the first

 Australian police fire tear gas at aboriginies.

Humanitarian aid to Gaza stopped in international waters.

Iranians starving and thirsty with little electrical power.

Palistinians say NZ Super fund biased and investing in Israel and 'war crimes'.

Paul tells the Jews that the message of salvation is meant for them,

Jesus tells Thomas "I am the truth the way and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me".

I'll see my brothers and sisters at mid-day Mass.

Thursday 2

Ok, I'm a lonely f**k with no one to talk to; so here is wot I did this morning.

I took some stuff to the Sallies and the  silverstream tip. On the way back I stopped at EarthLink Recyclers in Wingate. I've been on the look out for a better driver and I liked one in a set of clubs they had. It had three drivers and a couple of irons plus the bag. There was also a trundler. I didn't muck around and bought the whole lot for $43. 

On the way home I stopped at the driving range and whack, missed, sliced 50 balls. (I did spray and scrub it to remove that 'tippy' smell and mud).

My last three shots. I was getting tired and sore ok!

Off to adoration of the blessed sacrament soon.

How's your day going?
