Been Awhile

 We still haven't made it to Mass yet and now I have Covid 19 and I pray my husband does not get it.  He has COPD Covid would not work out for him.

I think we will go back soon.  I miss it a lot. I have great reasons why I need to get back  to it my husband just lost his dad last week and he has not really dealt with his dads death I really think he would benefit from more prayer.

5:00 Mass Finally!

 Well, my church has reinstated 5:00ing horrible so we decided that it would be best not to go. I was so disappointed.  When we watched Mass this morning it made me miss going!  I told the hubby next Saturday we were going for sure! We have a new priest and I think I'm going to like him a lot!  I am so glad he keeps his homilies nice and short!  It will be weird going back with masks on and only every other pew available, they used to let the back row go to communion first but now it's the first row so we had a decision to make are we sitting where we used to sit and be the last to go to communion and the last to get out or do we suck it up and sit in the front.  My hubby picked the front so we are first to get in and out and the first to communion.  I sure hope some of the friends that we sat with come back too. It would be nice to see them again!

I Think I Am On The One Post Per Year Plan!

 

Oh so much has happened since my last post!  Last year was a hard one. I fell in my sister-in-law's basement 2 days after she passed away.  That was more than enough to handle but the fall resulted in a severe head injury I peeled back 11-1/2 inches of my scalp.  I had to have surgery to put myself back together.....2-1/2 hours!  I missed 2 weeks of work and I have no insurance!  IT was a huge burden for us, I didn't attend Mass during the healing process.  

I was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a couple of months before the head injury.  Of course, I denied it for a year.  Was made to go to the doctor because he would not renew my prescriptions (I also have high blood pressure).  He had me donate some blood and my A1c came back as a 9.1, not good should be around 6. I knew I was going to get chewed on so I decided to get a jump start before I saw him again in a month.  I had lost 20lbs before my appointment!  Yeah for me!  He was very impressed and didn't chew on me at all!  He said I was doing great and to keep it up!  Total positive experience!  I see him in 6 weeks and I am hoping to have 50lbs off by then.  I have to date lost a total of 37lbs! Year for me! I have 13lbs to go to hit 50lbs I'm hoping I can do that, AND hopefully my A1c is down!

Now enter COVID-19.  This shut my work down for  6 weeks. Thank the Lord we still got paid our regular salary otherwise I would have been homeless! That ended and I finally got back to work. I have a co-worker that does nothing but lies starts shit and is an asskisser.  She is also Catholic or should I say she is a former Catholic.  She walked up to me and told me I was a cannibal because I receive! She claims she didn't know that Jesus was present in the bread and wine.  Well if she didn't know that then why did she call me a cannibal?  She had to know because she called me a cannibal! She claims to be this holy person but she is the exact opposite!  Talk about working with Satan.....she is pure evil.  I am done with her she had better stay as far away from me as she can!  I know I should be forgiving her and Praying for her but this all is too new it will come.

Long Time

It's been so long since my last post.....so much has happened.  I'm not going to Mass at this time.  I know I worked so hard to become a complete Catholic.  All this stuff going on in the Church with the priests and cardinals makes me sick.  Is this the religion  I really want to be associated with?  Take for example my church now has a set of drums and is becoming more and more protestant, then why be Catholic?  I really don't know what I'm supposed to do stay? Go?  Join a new church and hope they are Catholic? 

I also have a big problem with our Pope.  I have NEVER liked him and the more he opens his mouth the more I believe he is NOT our Pope, is he the antichrist? Who knows. Why should I care about a man that says the dumbest things.....I think I'm done.

In Need of Lots of Prayers

We just found out my sister-in-law, who is only 50 yrs old has stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  She has elected to fight but I'm not sure she is up for chemo.  Just the kind of person she is I'm afraid that she isn't going to do well.  I personally would just live as long as I could while controlling the pain I'm not up for chemo I watched my mother go through that and it was not pleasant watching as she was so sick and losing weight.  I decided when I was 15 yrs old that no way would I put those nasty chemicals in my body just to get a possible few more weeks or months.  Just not worth it for me.

She went up to Mayo yesterday but we have not heard what they said.  I'm guessing since we haven't heard that she probably didn't get such good news especially since the cancer has already spread to her liver.  All we can do is pray.  We are going to have a mass said for her and I've put her on some prayer chains.  There is always hope......and faith!

The Devil Is On The Prowl

I can't believe all the turmoil that is going on with our country, it feels like we are so divided and there is nothing but HATE going on all around us.  I have to say that when I go to Mass I pray real hard for this country and our President.  I think he is doing a really good job but if you listen to mainstream media he is racist, he is doing nothing but turning this country on it's head.  That is so far from the truth, he is a God-fearing Christian that just wants to make our country great again.  The liberals have twisted everything!  I feel as though the devil was just released and goes by the name Democrat.  They can't see the forest thru the trees.  If they would just listen they might find he is doing a great job to make things better.  It reminds of the story of Saul and how God took his eyesight until he could "really see". I hope thing turn around soon.

Easter

It's been awhile since I've posted....Life just gets in the way sometimes.  Here we are the day before Easter, I can't believe it's been 2 years since Chris was received into the Catholic Church!  Time flies when you are having fun!

We meant to go to at least one of the Stations of the Cross this year but it just escaped us. Ash Wednesday to now went by in a blur.  Chris has been battling with his COPD he has been rather sick for the last 6 weeks.  Hopefully, he is on the mend now!

I never found out what Chris gave up for Lent, but I gave up Facebook.....not a good choice since I don't FB much.  Next year I will have to think up something better to give up, probably Instagram I love Instagram!

We are not doing much for Easter just going to Mass (the early one 7:00am) then come home and make lunch...Ham and scallop potatoes, and corn yummy!  I will be glad that there are no more meatless Fridays since we both turned 60 this year we didn't have to fast.  It would have not been a good thing for me since I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic in January.  I was not thrilled about this in the least. Sometimes I really wonder if I am a diabetic I have NONE of the symptoms.  Oh well, it could be worse I could be insulin dependant like my hubby! Everybody has a cross to bare and I guess that is mine.
