25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Last night I stayed up a little late watching TV but I didn’t sleep in that late this morning. I got up and made a fast breakfast today Laila and I did our regular routine.
I also watched Fox News and was watching all the stuff about Bill Clinton’s meltdown on his interview with Chris Wallace. I guess the truth hurts. Laila will disagree, but since I was in the military during the Clinton administration and lived through the lean years when we were getting our spare parts from decommissioned ship’s and were firing missiles to keep his scandals off the front page of the newspapers and out of the press, I will not change my opinion.
Laila has a different opinion and does not understand why he is being beat up in the press, but then she gets her news from the Clinton News Network CNN. She also lives in a country where the opinion of the people is controlled by what the government there will allow them to see on their media. Anyway, I had better get off that subject because I don’t want to get my lovely Laila mad at me.
Laila went to bed just as I was leaving for church this morning. Today was the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The first reading was Wisdom 2:12, 17-20. The second reading was James 3:16-4:3. The Gospel was Mark 9:30-37. Father Cholo gave the mass again this Sunday. I guess he will be the one giving the 11 AM mass each Sunday. The message today was about importance, and the fact that was we are all equal servants of God. There are no servants of God that are more important than others. So I took that to mean I should be humble and less cocky in my real life as well as spiritually. I am sometimes guilty of that, especially when I teach. I get a little over confident at times.
Now I am watching football and hoping to hear from my daughter who will be departing Maryland tomorrow morning and heading for San Diego. I hope they take their time and don’t try to travel too far each day. She said they are only going to drive during the daylight hours, and I hope she stays with that plan. Especially with the weather being the way it has been back east lately.
Anyway, I have some paperwork to do for work and I had better get it done. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
