Ah, I love Thursdays. I have absolutely no commitments for today. I am going to take a trip to GoodWill and then reward myself with a trip to JoAnn's. I need some quilting needles, a rubber cap, and some batting. My supplies came from the lady who teaches a really cool hand quilting technique. I ordered a larger thimble because the one I ordered was a little tight.

The house smells like blueberry cobbler due to some tarts I poured this morning. I need to pour another batch later. After my trip uptown, I am coming home to put in some quality quilting time!

Word of the day:
Thursday of the Tenth week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Margaret of Scotland, Queen (+ 1093)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5:20-26.

I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, 'You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.' But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.
