back again
First post in awhile; been purposely neglecting this. But am reading a book now that is again reminding me, “just do it.” So here.
Went on a day bus trip to Washington DC today. Two nice kids and another nice lady and a dozen other folks on a half empty bus. Wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It was a “pilgrimage,” or so they billed it, to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Beautiful church, although it was only built in 1950. Gold & silver & marble everywhere. It was hard to walk through all that wealth knowing that there were people sleeping in the streets in the same city. How do people get so sidetracked? Monuments and shrines to God are one thing, but i think a lot of Catholics (probably other Christians too) seem to forget (or just put less importance on) the fact that we are called to serve living humans first….
Am nearly finished with work, having a very hard time buckling down & getting work done. But that is nothing new. Still no new job on the horizon yet, although my new resume is nearly finished. Also have my idea for NaNoWriMo down, I think…..don’t think I’m going to be able to pull together the retreat, just not enough time and too much to do. And too much to move; I don’t know how I’m going to get it all together!
