Joy in Jesus – New Memory Game with kitten

Play this new Memory Game

Well, just in case anyone thinks I am smarter than I am, I will set you straight. Today there was a Google HOA (Hangout on Air) with Ronnie Bincer. The session was at 10:00 which is when I normally get to work at the church. But I really wanted to attend this thing so I arranged to go in early and then take an hour off in the middle. Didn\’t work out. Not even a little bit. I was working right up to the time when the HOA was supposed to start. I thought it would be a simple matter of clicking on a link and I was in.

I clicked but I wasn\’t in. I clicked all sorts of stuff and went back to the email and tried to retrace my steps a couple of times. But still was on the outside looking for a doorway. Finally I thought I was close and the phone rang. I stared at the phone. I stared at the computer screen.

\”What do you do dear?\”

If I was in the program than that loud phone was going to interrupt everyone else on the call. If I wasn\’t in wouldn\’t matter. I didn\’t think I was in but I couldn\’t be sure.

Dang! I decided to quit. It was too traumatic. I closed the laptop and went back to work. I was under pressure anyway to get the bulletin done by a closer deadline than normal so decided work came first. Was probably the best decision as it took me all the time I had to get the bulletin finished. I also decided I would not mix my own work with another project like that again. If I could have left my office it would have worked maybe. But just too crazy otherwise.

Sigh.

In the meantime I did get to leave work at 12:30 rather than 2:00 so that was a good thing. All things work for good.

The latest book I am reading is called \”Dilemma,\” it is an autobiography of a priest named Father Albert Cutie\’ who was a media priest a few years back. He left the church after about 8 years to get married. He is now an Episcopal priest in Canada. It\’s a very interesting book. Brings up lots of very valid points about the priesthood, celibacy and other things. It sort of resonates where I am at the moment. Not so much the celibacy stuff but just finding a new path to serve God as one grows and changes.

I am also reading three other books (at least). A Christmas book by Anne Perry on my Kindle called \”A Christmas Journey,\” and a Michael Connelly book which I will dive back into as soon as this goes out, called, The Fifth Witness. I read a bit of Pope Francis book every day and a bit from my Bible study book, \”The Greatest Gift\” by Ann Voskamp. I like reading lots of books at the same time. I know it drives some people crazy but it fits me perfect!

And good news! Pudge is almost 100 per cent better. We went for a walk today and we actually ran a good part of the way. It was fun. He has his old energy and zip back!
