Hello on Friday :)

Hello from D.R. I hope this finds everybody well.

We had a lovely Easter and it's now the first week of May. Had a good birthday as well. :)

Praying for peace and comfort in my life. Praying this for everyone as well. :)

Thank you.

This is D.R. :) Hello. Bit of a rough few weeks. Still looking for work. Got hurt at the dog shelter the other day, although the bruise is not as bad as it once was.

Had to leave the car at the shop most of the day. Was very bored and depressed.

 Here's a picture I took at the zoo not too long ago. I forget what they're called, but they're fun to watch.

Prayer

This is D.R. :) The past few days, I went to church and lit a candle. It helped. I was suffering from sleep deprivation and some other aspects of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and this morning I am finally starting to feel a little more normal. Here's hoping it continues. :) Hope all of you have a good weekend as well. Thanks. :)

Hi. This is D.R. Reverend Fluffy does his part to keep the monastery beautiful... :)

Well! It's been a while. Good to be back. This is D.R. :)

Liturgy was beautiful this morning, as always. It's my fourth week since christmation, so I brought up my candle and stood with my sponsor at Communion again. After this week, I don't have to bring the candle anymore, and I can go up without my sponsor. She is a very nice lady.

They had a bake sale at church today, after services. I got two cupcakes and a little bag of cookies. They look so delicious, I wanted to eat all of them at once. :)

I read Revelation last week. Every time I read it, I get different 'pictures' as to what it would all actually look like. Now that I've reached the end of the Bible, I think I ought to start over again. It helps that I have an audiobook Bible and a regular print one. Helps me fit in more reading than I used to.

Have a good week. Thanks. :)

D.R. here. Well! Fall is almost here. It's still pretty hot where I live. My chrismation is coming up later this month. Pretty nervous! Yet I'll be very happy when it is here. Still looking for work. Had some good interviews lately. Reading, or should I say hearing, the Bible almost every day. :) Using the NKJV audio book version from Audible. It's a very dramatic reading with a cast of well-known actors. I try to listen at least a few minutes a day, or a few times a week. It lifts me up when I'm discouraged. I have to fight not to give up sometimes, and keeping up with the Scriptures can make a real difference. I am far from the best at this, but I do try. Thank you.

This is D.R. Today is Monday. I am out of a job. I have been for a few weeks now. It's not much fun looking for work, but I do it every day. Here's hoping something picks up soon. Had a pretty good day in church yesterday. Afterwards, I wanted to stay for lunch at the church social hour, but I had to go to lunch with my Mom's cousins. It was fun. We've been having so many thunderstorms lately, even though it's sunny this morning, I wonder if it won't rain by the middle of the day. I never seem to get a chance to take the bike to the park. Also, I could use a new electric wrench. I saw one on TV and I think it'll be the only thing strong enough to take the wheels on and off the bike when I need to fix it. The wrenches we have now don't seem to work, and I don't want to spend half an hour every time waiting for the WD40 to work. I'm doing okay on my summer reading. I have almost three weeks to go in my summer reading project, where I try to beat the number of books I read during school vacation in 1989. Sooo, that'd be 37. And so far I'm almost up to 15. It's probably going to be too much for me, but I did give it a good try. :) See you later. Thanks. :)
