I have lots to do today. We moved our prayer quilt meeting to today because we didn't have it last week. I finished the top I was piecing. Today I will take it in and we'll work on getting it sandwiched with the backing. My kitchen table is just not big enough. If it ever stops raining and I can get downstairs, I will clear off the big antique table down there and I can use that for future quilts.

I really want to get a batch of soap made today. I have a new technique I want to try. I've also been hearing some good things about yucca root powder and I ordered some. I think I'm going to put some of that in the next batch.
But the soap will have to wait until tonight. At the moment there is mud all over the house and water in the basement so I guess my morning kind of planned itself.

Word of the day:
Monday of the Second Week in Lent
Gospel
Lk 6:36-38

Jesus said to his disciples:
"Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you."


God bless our troops!
