Wrong lessons

Sunday is the Feast of Jesus being presented in the Temple as a child.

But the readings we had at Bible Study were different.

We're going to go with the readings for the presentation in the Temple. People won't have them to read, but will need to listen.

Listening is a valuable thing.

Listening is good.

Listening will make us whole.

We'll see....

Falling down

 As I grow older, I am more unsteady.

I fall down--usually coming inside from outside.

Today I fell and broke my glasses.

I don't need them to read or do what I do on-line, but I do need them to drive.

Bern, somehow, found my old glasses and they will let me drive until I see the Eye Doc next week and get new glasses.

We shall see!

(Sorry, I didn't mean to make that allusion.)

I was so upset...

...about Trump's becoming President that I thought last Tuesday was Monday and missed my regular zoom call.

I'll do it tomorrow.

Everything that has happened has added to my upset.

I need to figure out how to get over it.

If I can....

We're all girls

 You may have heard already, but I love it so much I have to tell it!

Trump's 'gender motion' was screwed up.

It said, "if you are a male or female at 'conception'" that's your gender.

Whoever wrote it didn't realize that the X chromazone--which makes a male doesn't occur until several weeks after conception.

So, at conception, all fetuses are female.

So, according to this definition, we are all girls!!!

Lost in Waterbury Hospital

 I went today, as I do every two weeks, to Waterbury Hospital to get my allergy/asthma shots.

I checked in as always, near the front door and then left with wrist band and papers to Outpatient Medical Services.

But when I go there OMS was nowhere to be found!

The office and treatment area were cleaned out. Nothing was left.

I went to the office nearest the old OMS and asked what was up.

A woman told me it had been moved and there should have been a sign, but there wasn't.

She took me back to the main hallway and said, go down to the very end.

I did and Lo and Behold there is was--much smaller and more crowded with medical stuff.

None of the staff knew why they had been moved.

God and Waterbury Hospital work in mysterious ways....

Let the criminals go free!

 We're just a few days into what will be a long four years.

Removing the immigrants is horrid enough, but not nearly as bad as giving the January 6 rioters pardons.

Kick out the immigrants, take away the Constitutional guaranteed 'birthright citizenship' and free the criminals, some of whom caused death in their attack on the Capital.

Only 2 of 10 Americans approve of the Capital rioters pardons.

Many more than that voted for the current President.

Are they regretting that now?

I pray so....

We are a country of immigrants

 The President doesn't seem to realize that everyone it this country came from somewhere else.

Bern is Italian/Hungarian and her parents came here a dozen years before she was born.

My Americanism is longer, but my family came from England and Wales and Sweden.

We exist as a nation because we came from somewhere else.

His plan to remove migrants is against who we are.

Just that.

No more.

Just that....
