moving into Holy Week
Saturday, March 23, 2013
For Lent, I had given up sweets as much as I was able. What gave me the most difficulty is the avoidance of sweet drinks. I'm not a fan of drinking water. I've been resorting to substituting: tea that I can drink if sweetened with honey, and Metamucil. Yes, Metamucil. I'll take the orange flavored fiber drink just to have something other than water.
At work, we have a variety of drinks available to us at no cost: numerous choices on coffee, teas, and hot chocolate. Believe you me: I will be CELEBRATING Easter.
On another note, in anticipation of the person I'm sponsoring becoming baptized and joining the Catholic church, I have acquired a lovely crucifix for a gift.

It really is a stunning piece in real life.
Unlike my previous venture to acquire a crucifix, the same store now had a better selection of them. This one grabbed my eye very quickly, though I did browse the selection before settling on this one. There were some other quite desirable ones, but their prices were beyond my budget.
A crucifix is a good gift for a newly baptized Catholic, since they are unlikely to have one already.
If the store gets another one of these crucifixes in stock, I would like to get one for myself.
May everyone have a most Holy Week.

thanks be to God for a Pope
Friday, March 15, 2013
Habamus Papam!
Our Lord has given us a Pope.
Waiting for the papal election results is something akin to waiting for a baby to be born back in the old days, when you don't know what to expect.
This post is delayed because I've been pretty tired and couldn't log in at 2am Thursday morning. My groggy brain couldn't figure out why I couldn't access my blog.
Anyhow, God bless our Pope.
I like St. Francis of Assissi too. I like St. Anthony of Padua more, though. Yes, I am rambling. I'm tired.
Somehow I am reminded of the movie The Shoes of the Fisherman. Maybe I'll watch it again soon.

motivation
Monday, December 24, 2012
I was once asked in a phone interview "What motivates you?"
I have struggled with the question, since up until then I had never thought about it. I only know that money is not what motivates me.
Maybe being able to contribute motivates me. To be someone who can add value, get results, and be effective in what I do.
Maybe success is what motivates me.
Finally I have decided that what I want to be able to say is "God's love is what motivates me." God's love is unchanging. It could be good times, it could be bad times, whether I am successful or unsuccessful, God's love is there. To be able to move forward, to put forth my best effort, to remain positive no matter what the circumstances ... because I know that God's love is there.
