Greetings to all my friends here! May you all receive the peace of Jesus! Just got back a little while ago from Adoration where I presented all your cares and intentions to Our Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Prayed for William's miracle according to God's Holy Will. For a miracle for all of us! I even thanked Him in advance for the sale of our house, because it will be soon and in His timing which is always perfect. He never wants us to worry, but to place all our trust in Him. It offends Him when we lose trust in Him Who is all worthy of all our love and trust. When I go there, He always fills me with love and peace. It's a committment to go every Tuesday but we receive so much! Darla and Greg should be close to home now - she texted me when on the plane on the way to Adoration.
The Ten Most Wanted People
July 14 - Jesus Calling
Keep walking with Me along the path I have chosen for you. Your desire to live close to Me is a delight to My heart. I could instantly grant you the spiritual riches you desire, but that is not My way for you. Together we will forge a pathway up the high mountain. The journey is arduous at times, and you are weak. Someday you will dance light-footed on the high peaks; but for now, your walk is often plodding and heavy. All I require of you is to take the next step, clinging to My hand for strength and direction. Though the path is difficult and the scenery dull at the moment, there are sparkling surprises just around the bend. Stay on the path I have selected for you. It is truly the path of Life.
If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
-Psalm 37:23–24
though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
-Psalm 37:23–24
You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
-Psalm 16:11 nkjv

Hi Gloria and thank you and everyone for your prayers for Dave.
We had a pretty long day. We got to the hospital around 10AM and they didn't take him to surgery until after 12PM. He didn't get back until almost 2PM. It was taking so long I was beginning to worry. The surgeon told me it was tougher to remove then he thought.
The thing was pretty big and and had like tentacles and kind of embedded itself into his back muscle. He really had a tough time with it but he finally got it all out.
Thank the good Lord and thank you all for your prayers.
Cackers I'm praying hard for William.
Blessings to all.

Hi Gloria
I could use some "spare prayers" for my patience. My Mom who has always been ornery, belligerent and hard to deal with , has dementia ( I think Alzheimer's) at 94. She is so stubborn the family has a hard time doing what is best for her. She goes to neurologist in 3 weeks, so I am hopeful he will help with suggestions and such. LOL!
By the way Gloria, have you ever ordered fruitcake, jams, pastries and such from the Jam Pot in Michigan? It is a small bakery run by the Monks from the Society of St. John (Holy Transfiguration Skete). We order the fruitcake without bourbon. It is beyond delicious and huge. The fruit is dried fruit, not candied, and it has all kinds of nuts they grow. They gather the fruit from their farms and the wild berries that grow there. They are secluded after October until Spring,. I know you are a health nut like me, you would like their products.

Shoekitty - Did I ever tell you that's a cute nic? How did that come about? I'll be praying for you for patience, I know that's really hard to deal with - May God help you and guide you. That sounds delicious about buying foods from the monks. What's their address to order and how do you order? Is it really expensive? Healthy foods is the way to go - always!

Here is a link to their information and store.

Yes, they are a little pricy. The fruitcakes, with or w/o bourbon are 50 bucks!! But the are huge loafs, weighing 3 or 4 pounds at least. You can smell the butter and fruit. The non alcoholic loaf is wrapped in cheese cloth soaked in a fruit juice they make.. I freeze some, and keep the other half in fridge for a few months. it lasts forever.
They do grow and gather their ingredients. I know that the money from the bakery is the support for their group. They lead a solitary life in prayer, and some participate in the bakery. I believe they are related to an order from the Ukraine.
They are very interesting to read about, and how they lead their life. I guess where they live is in one of Michigan's most beautiful places, but also very, very harsh!
Thanks for the prayers. My name? I used to collect shoes. i thought if I ever had a boat I would call it the Shoekitty, LOL! Never had a boat, so......
