The Board discussing the News that the Pastor wife plans a red Tesla for the official car of the Pastor's wife.

What's up in Ye Old Catholic Church?  Like…

1. From sex abuse to money, Francis has had a rough year,  http://corpus-blog.blogspot.com/2018/12/from-sex-abuse-to-money-2018-tested.html

Lumbar Stenosis update:

1.  Friday afternoon surgery on the back, spent the night in Presby Dallas.

2.  Wednesday morning about 9:30, I suddenly knew I could do it and I walked with no assistance from the dining room to the kitchen sink.  This was humbling and encouraging.    Actually, I felt like I had just climbed Kilimanjaro again.  Wow!

 For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use, The Bible at Your Fingertips and USCCB, The New American Bible. 

The difference?  The second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations.  I use the first more often because it has fewer doors to pass through to get to the text.  Thanks, Gerald, for this idea.  I will include the link from now on.

One more week for our Christmas Tree

Rosemary reading her blessing

All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long, long paths but I am not anywhere. My benefactor's question has meaning now. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere, but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you stronger; the other weakens you.
