The oppressive humidity seems to have lifted. Thanks be to God. I need to get moving. I have tons of stuff to do. This morning I received some very good news about a cottage industry bill that is being signed into law. Free enterprise - Good!!!
Word of the day:
Saturday of the Fifteenth week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Alexius, Confessor (+404), Bl. Pavol Gojdič, Basilian Bishop and Martyr (1888+1960)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 12:14-21.

But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him to put him to death. When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place. Many (people) followed him, and he cured them all, but he warned them not to make him known. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet: Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom I delight; I shall place my spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not contend or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory. And in his name the Gentiles will hope."
