Today is a Maddie Monday. She's up to her cute tricks. She rarely crawls now, but she is frustrated that she can't get under the kitchen table anymore without bopping her head.

We celebrated Father's day yesterday with a cookout. Nina, Jamie, Sam, Kelli, Madison, and Anna were all here. Food was great! Justin, Melisa and the kids went fishing. They stopped over later.

Yesterday was the last mass for our departing pastor. It was strangely unemotional. Numbers were way down. That was kind of sad. Next week we have a sub. The transition won't really hit until we see Fr. David in the sanctuary.

Today is the anniversary of the ratification of the US Constitution. Maybe some folks in Washington might like to take a look at it.

Word of the day:
Monday of the Twelfth week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Aloysius Gonzaga (1568-1591) - Memorial
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 7:1-5.

Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.
