It's been a pretty productive day so far. Found a check for a website order buried in the mail on the dining room table. It was for 2 electric pip grubbies. I have only one mold so I poured the first one this morning. But I poured it into a pillar mold - so I repoured it into the correct mold. Went to church. Managed to stay out of trouble - I think - came home and cut up chicken for salads this week. Then I went down to the dungeon. Set some container wax to melt for Apple Jack 'n Peel candles. Unmolded the first pip grubby - set the bulb and cord and wrapped it for shipping. Poured the other pip grubby which is setting up now. Inventoried two of our drawers from yesterday and got them ready for next Saturday. Now I am headed for the craft room to work on the 15 stocking orders that are waiting there.

Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Quintin, Martyr (3rd century)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 19:1-10.

He came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house." And he came down quickly and received him with joy. When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, "He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner." But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, "Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost."
