No subjective stuff where I am going, which is what I appreciate. Last night the homily was in two parts...the first explaining the reason that marriage is a sacrament and how it reflects Christ's love for the church.

The second part was an announcement that we do not "rent out" our church to people who want a large pretty facility in which to get married, that no one can get married at our church until they have gone through the six-month pre-marriage meetings and counseling, and dates for the summer are filling up fast! LOL!

I have been puttering around this afternoon. Mr. Marple and I put away all of the bins, daughter came down to pick up some textbooks she had Amazon ship here, and we are eating light today, so I don't have a lot of cooking to do.

Daughter in law called with some questions about Disney. I am getting SO excited! This is going to be so much fun!

Our sermon last night was on marriage, as well. That is to be expected since we all follow the same scripture.

We didn't get the Not In This Church lecture.
The only time nonparishioners marry in our church is when they are from a neighboring Catholic Church that won't hold more than 150.

I am at my son's. I brought the little tyke home to nap, and napped myself since I can't figure out how to work their televisions. Duh. It's probably simple.

I messed with the remote for a half hour and finally laid down to think about it. An hour and a half later I woke up.
