Bonus Questions
1. For those who went to church this morning, what was the sermon about? For those who didn't, did you get to do something fun?
2. What signs of spring did you see this week?
3. Will you bother to watch the coverage of the Pennsylvania primaries?
I’ll answer 2 and 3:
2. 75-degree weather, birds chirping, people planting flower gardens, etc. Today was all rainy and cold, ick.
3. No, enough politics for me.
I’m Orthodox Christian, so today is our Palm Sunday. In Russia, they didn’t have palm leaves, so they used pussy willow branches...those were some to the first trees to bloom. So we got a mixture of palm fronds and pussy willow branches today.
I live in PA, and the phone has been ringing non-stop with political campaign recordings on the other end. And someone stopped by the house today to see if I was voting for Hillary. I told him I’m registered with another party, but that my parents are registered Democrats. He asked if they needed a ride to the polls;-)
A long story short ... I replaced the lower element of an electric water heater after some very clever 'tooling around' inside to get all the calcium out (that had shorted the element and those that know ... etcetera.)
So I didn't make it to church this morning .... but I was reminded that tribulation worketh patience.
Hey Kids, I’m checking in. Been really busy these past few weekends, so I wasn’t around. Spent this weekend painting outside and I’m whooped.
I do recall that the sermon this Sunday was from Titus (3rd chapt.?. Awful that I don’t recall something from just 12 hours ago!)
Here the redbuds are bursting forth and the dogwoods are just starting to bloom. (about 2 weeks later than usual, must be global warming. ; ) ) I just love this time of year in the Ozarks! Everything is so fresh, green and bright.
And yeah, I watch the primary...although this election has got me so depressed I could just scream.
The sermon today was about faith...I believe the scripture was from 1John 5:1-5...but I'm not certain about that.
2. What signs of spring did you see this week?
Well the weather is warmer...except today wasn't great-cool and gloomy. My trees and bushes all have buds and there are dandelions popping up everywhere.
3. Will you bother to watch the coverage of the Pennsylvania primaries?
Nope
Had to work. :(
"2. What signs of spring did you see this week?"
Snow ;~P
"3. Will you bother to watch the coverage of the Pennsylvania primaries?"
Nope, don't watch much TV. Get most of my pol info by radio or net.
Yes, I went to church this morning - to a beautiful new cathedral in downtown Houston. See, I'm all bitter, so I'm clinging to my religion and all. And guns, too. ;-)
The sermon (homily) was about letting God take you to where you are supposed to be. Very interesting. Then I went to brunch with some friends.
2. What signs of spring did you see this week?
Wildflowers all OVER the place! Beautiful colors. Being that this is still my first week home, the flowers are just that much more lovely to me.
3. Will you bother to watch the coverage of the Pennsylvania primaries?
I've seen scads of preliminary hype without even trying. I will not attempt to watch the coverage, but I probably won't be able to avoid it completely, either.
Late to the party, sorry.
1. Didn’t go to church and felt bad about it, again. Worked hard on little repairs at home and watched NBA finals.
2. Signs of spring are my bearded iris in bloom and some pesky aspy bites from the new patio furniture [made in China.]
3. I can hear the PA primaries on Today show in the other room. That’s as close as I may get to watching them.
