okay... uh, we just sat down to do math, so it was a little over 600 bucks to fix the gas leak... it was what they called an easy fix.

A much needed necessity, it was toxic and we are lucky our home didn't go boom....

We took out the money from our grocery stash, and the mortgage payment for next month, and we are 500 bucks short... hubby went on a little stress trip to the back yard and just started doing garden work and organizing stuff. Its looking great I might add, he is even washing the backyard patio which was much needed.

I am hoping to hear back from the hospital this upcoming week... So I have about 7 days to help hubby make that money back,

May I interest anyone on a simple commission, I don't have the brain cells to do any design you guys, but I can do single characters for sure.

Oh and payments only through paypal and ko-fi

Not fit to hate

People ask where I get the stuff that I write about.

I pray with the daily Mass readings. Then I read commentaries. Mostly InterVarsity’s “Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture.”

The series gives you a few sentences to a paragraph on each verse. That someone wrote during the first 500+ years of the Church.

Maybe from someone famous, or someone not so famous. Sometimes nobody knows who wrote it. But always the good stuff, stuff that’s stood the test of time.

Like this one, on today’s Gospel (where Jesus says to “love your enemies”). It’s an anonymous work* from the 5th century, that reads like it was written this morning.

“I think that Christ ordered these things [to love our enemies] not so much for our enemies as for us: not because our enemies are fit to be loved by others, but because we are not fit to hate anyone.

For hatred is the prodigy of dark places. Wherever it resides, it sullies the beauty of sound sense.

Therefore, not only does Christ order us to love our enemies for the sake of cherishing them, but also for the sake of driving away from ourselves what is bad for us.

If you hate [your enemy], you have hurt yourself more in spirit than you have hurt him in the flesh.

Perhaps you don’t harm him at all by hating him. But you surely tear yourself apart. If then you are benevolent to an enemy, you have spared yourself rather than him.”

(* Known as the Incomplete Work on Matthew, St. Thomas Aquinas was so fond of it that he once said that he would rather have the complete work than be mayor of Paris.)

told this to my brother who loves fish and he was so disappointed in me as a person

fun fact! if you were to arrange every fish on earth in a straight line, nose to tail, they probably wouldn't enjoy it very much
