God Bless Our Troops

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Kind of a lazy morning (but that has to end soon because I have a lot to do). Today is early post office closing day so I need to get some orders packaged up to mail. Then on to Sam's club to pick up some water for my favorite youngest daughter. I have 13 stocking orders pending and I am out of reindeer stockings. Gotta get some of those done so Melisa can sew them up. I poured some tarts and made some room sprays last night. Our craft show inventory switches from fall to Christmas (with some overlap because it actually is still fall so I need to finalized the inventory for the rest of our shows.

Here is today's Flylady mission should you choose to accept it.

Word of the day:
Wednesday of the Thirty-first week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Charles Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan (1538-1584)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 14:25-33.


Great crowds were traveling with him, and he turned and addressed them, If any one comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, 'This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.' Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.
