Can’t serve two masters

As long as I get my toys and my naps

Except the Rabbi has a good take on financial prosperity: It’s not necessarily corrupting, If you consider Goddoes the prospering to righteous and charity giving Jews. I’m probably oversimplifying and Sis C would certainly take exception to that notion. So would most of Americans since they keep voting the Democrats in for Government handouts.

Jour ordinaire

 


My new haircuth

Busy enough today. Wrote again to JD Vance to say we’re all set on the niece situation and sorry we lost the election. Made the grocery order.  A paid $134 for pickup portion and I paid $158 for walking in and getting the extras. Yikes $300 on one day!!  Of course, every space is crammed to almost overflowing. Got a lot of extra stuff like fermented foods and mag citrate to possibly help my ah problem. Also ordered castor oil pack, and kitchen grinder on Amazon first thing this morning  Shopping and putting away groceries took three hours, dammit. Red and I walked in the park And I bought another cup of $8 coffee. Three officers were also enjoying a coffee break there when we approached and they liked Red; didn’t chase us out of the park. I’m happy to say.  Got to pack at least some pills right now, so Tata for now
   Apparently got my blogs mixed up yesterday and skipped Sandy shifts completely. This one should have gone to the other one.

Checking in

Yesterday; it’sa different
palate of autumn beauty

Dark at 5:15, a week out of DST, and I want to sleep despite a cup of coffee, two hours ago and cooking tasks, pill packing tasks. Red sleepy too  I miss the sunshine in winter, the longer hours of daylight.   Last night healing meditations at PSC was enjoyable, thank you Lord; I was calling on you.

Blissfully Grateful today

 

Ordinary Westgate parking lot, extraordinary day

Thank you, Lord,  for all the fine events and impressions today. Nonpareil! 

Forgot to mention in my other post that the day started very early with contact from C regarding L probable settling of her problem today   Then the lawnmowers came for the last time, and the yard looks wonderful even in the rain that followed the brighter hours; plus I got the check out for that along with the rest of the mail. 

I also listened to Rabbi Gordon before I even pulled out of bed this morning plus his two colleagues on Chabad.org, today’s portion being Rivka’s decision to leave home with Eliezer to marry Itszak , becoming the second matriarch in Sarah’s footsteps. Also learned that Keturah is Hagar fetched back by Itszak to marry his father, Avraham.  Wow! What amazing stories and heritage! Thank you, Lord, for those.

God spares nothing


Wadi Rum, 4-13-2013

On Chabad.org, Wilafsky says today 

G‑d is willing to give up “all His bounty” to help each and every one of us fulfill our mission of bringing about the “marriage” of the physical and the spiritual dimensions of reality by transforming the world into G‑d’s home through our good deeds.

וַתֵּלֶד שָׂרָה אֵשֶׁת אֲדֹנִי בֵן לַאדֹנִי אַחֲרֵי זִקְנָתָהּ וַיִּתֶּן לוֹ אֶת כָּל אֲשֶׁר לוֹ: (בראשית כד:לו) 

[Eliezer said to Rebecca’s family,] “My master’s wife Sarah bore my master a son after she had grown old, and he gave [his son, Isaac,] all that he owned.” Genesis 24:36
