Anticipated  typical  busyness  for  Sunday Beautiful  restful  minutes  contemplating  future .  By: AC  Fyri   Submitted  this  picture  for  a reflection  of  my Summer  "waves  of  grief  " on the Photo  Grief  website . This  particular  morning I'm  feeling  a  bit  of  unease, even  though  we've  got  through  another  health  event. Back  to  the  routine with  only  minor  changes  to  follow  up  with .   Otoh, it's  Late   (lol) 9am .  The  Gospel to  read and Jesus  to share .  Driver  duty  for  me.

Marty's great focus on living minimally Tom willing  to  go with  me. to give excess to God's work  is a definite  benefit for me. I've been able to travel to Guatemala and now to Philippines. Getting  ready  to  go  was more  stressful  than the flight there. A week  of education  and  experience  has been  an  amazing  time .  I'm  pretty  much  overwhelmed  by  the  love  and  compassion  I saw  embodied  in CRS  projects. I'm  grateful  as well, for  the  people  who  are  committed  to working  with  those who  are  struggling  in these  challenges. I was exhausted  but  extremely  blessed  to  be  able  to  see  the  groundbreaking  ceremony  for  the  Anibong resettlement project. 900 families  will  be  able  to  begin  anew away  from  the  daily threat of flooding  and seasonal  devestation  from storm surges.

Farmers Market Burien Opened  May 4th 2017 thru October.  That will be our "event of the day" I am sometimes anxious over the surprising (Still!) difficulties that occur during our daily routines, and then a special event / day is upon us, and I have to plan ahead, to prepare for a seemingly simple task. Circus for Jesus . . Remember  Royal Lichtenstein ?   Nick Weber book promo https://youtu.be/cYJ1YSBO6Cw **plus  I'm  easily  sidetrack ? * SNIP - TMI * I've  been  reading  about  traveling   Here , most recently .  Caregiver.com seems  to  be a good  launching  point  for many questions , or well, sometimes  just validation  of my feelings .  Alz.org  is very good  but I've  recently  been  too busy  to  read that in  depth  information. Trip Planning lately can be as simple as a prayer and a note to remind him where I've gotten to. No disaster so far .. trip for CRS coming up. Will see how depending upon others does.

John 14-17, HERE    😐 This  part  of  the  Gospel  is referred  to  as farewell  discourse  at times .  Jesus  speaking  in Jerusalem  just  before  his  passion .  I sometimes  dive into a  deeper  level .  This  particular  case, I  need  to  study  slowly  and  with input  from  scholarly  sources especially  Saint  Thomas  Aquinas. I found  this  great  source    HERE: John 14  ( translated by Fabian R.

I am able  to  make  the distinction  between  godly  grief  and "troubled state  of the  reason  " ,  I've  been  limited  in properly  reactions  though. There are many  different  ways

Through Christ our Lord. Amen **************£ Also --- Pentecost .

Alive in the Spirit: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Sixth Sunday of Easter .. St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology . ""Jesus will not leave us alone.

We see the promised gift of His Spirit being conferred in today's First Reading. The scene from Acts apparently depicts a primitive Confirmation rite. Philip, one of the first deacons (Acts 6:5) , proclaims the Gospel in the non-Jewish city of Samaria. The Samaritans accept the Word of God   (Acts 17:11 ; 1 Thessalonians 2:13)   and are baptized.
