AH…. Saturday… nothing to do, day off. I watched Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (can’t beat Doc Brown chewing the scenery as a Klingon baddie getting kicked by the ever poetic William Shatner…”I…have HAD… ENOUGH of…YOU!“). Then watched the start of the ball game before heading to church and some grocery shopping (UGH… [...]
I am so glad that Mondays are one of my days off each week. I don’t know if I could have made it this morning. A long weekend full of fun. I worked Saturday afternoon before mass after which Chloe was going to be baptized. Getting her big sister into a dress was a chore. [...]
Tonight, my nephew/godson and his two siblings came into the store before Wednesday night CCD. I thought… uh-oh what is this terrible trio up to. Joshua (in his infinite wisdom) chose to ask me in his own special way if I would consider being his sponsor for Confirmation… “since no one else seems to be [...]
A Saturday off with nothing scheduled?! What am I to do? Nice to have one off every other week, but then I go crazy coming up with fun things to do. Well… I volunteered myself to help in the reorganizing of the Huber costume room so we can begin blocking scenes while we await the [...]
Tonight was my monthly turn as worship leader at church. It seems like there have been a few songsters added to the roster making it seem like a longer stretch between turns. As usual, it went just fine with only one major goof… not musical. Opening song: “Gather Us In” went well an old favorite, [...]
This weekend is turning out to be another super fun one that started Saturday. I watched the double episodes of The Office from Thursday night (don’t remember what I was doing when they were on at their scheduled time, but no spoilers since I’m not sure if my faithful readers caught them both). The, I [...]
Not only because it was Good Friday, either. I did join the choir yesterday for services at noon. It was interesting because our priest skipped all over the place, leading many to believe that we were going to skip over the reading of Christ’s Passion all together. Actually, one of my favorite moments of mass [...]
I once again served as song leader at mass today. Between the first and second readings is the responsorial psalm. The leader leads the congregation in the main verse and then chants the rest of the psalm… hopefully, correctly. This morning was not the case and one word mispoken made me wince. The 3rd verse [...]
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, [ Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. These words taken from Isaiah chapter 9 foreshadow the arrival of He whose birth we celebrate this day. The [...]
This weekend, I attended two masses. Saturday night was my scheduled service to lead the congregation in song. Went really well especially the closing song, “Let there be Peace on Earth.” I don’t know what it was but I felt a strange tingling and actually gave into the sensation and closed my eyes. Normally, I [...]
