I still have faith that there is life left in this group so I will post and pray in hopes that soon our nubers will be strong..

This quote is from Inner Harvest a Hazelton publication I got many years ago while attending OA, I have dusted it off and start my morning reading that days passage..

"May I allow my higher power to work through me today"

    how i used yesterdays passage, my one step forward was to speak up on a small matter instead of saying no problem as I norally would..

    I had difficulty letting go and tursting God to take care of the destination yesterday, letting my way of copeing with adversity on the journey take over .. they have not served me well but are familar paths.. as always a work in progress..

    mid week check in... after a less than normal Palm Sunday it has been a rough few days ,letting anxitey get the best of me to much news not enough prayer..

    Now on the eve of Holy Thusday I have realized that I am truly blessed . Today I saw a man from a less fortuante backround say that" social distancing is a privlige" I have that privlige and for this I thank God..

    The plan is to follow my churces online guide for keeping holy week at home..

    See you Easter Sunday

    Happy Easter.. 2020

    A differt one for sure but we live in a very differnt world then we did a month ago. Our town has an Ecumenical Sunrise service in the park every year someting I always look forward to. This year the park is closed public gathering prohibited . We were asked instead to go out on our front steps read John 20 1-9 pray the lords pray and proclaim loudly Haliaugh he has risen. It was to my suprise a more beautiful moment than I was expecting, out in the cool crisp quite of sunrise with no distractions other than the chior of birds singing God has never felt closer.

    A blessed and Joyful Easter to all

    Our church opened on Monday. I am so excited! Father added an extra night of reconciliation tonight and that will by my first time back in the building. I can't wait until I can hit my first Mass on Saturday!

    So pleased for you hope you enjoyed every minute.. Our church has opened but due to health issues in the household I'm still streaming.. I am hearing reports of a much abbreviated mass..
