Quick Takes Vol. 19

My turn to borrow Storm of Swords the third book in the Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin came up at the Bismarck Library.  I borrowed the book with my Kindle.  I am very thankful for the Kindle this book is over 900 pages and would be heavy to hold and keep the pages open.   I will admit to getting upset about certain things happening this is not an average book where heroes are identified and you can root for them throughout the series.

I worked hard last weekend cleaning the house,  I had let the the place slip into disarray due to Christmas break.    I was going to leave all my Nativities up until Monday but, I decided that since I was all ready putting away and moving boxes I needed to do it all.  I felt guilty about not having my Nativities up until after Epiphany. Do you think that confession might lift my Catholic Guilt?

House selling not going so great.  The house got off to a slow start being listed just before Christmas but, I felt I couldn't wait until the New Year to get started on the process. The house has been shown 4 times and still no offers. The price has been lowered so that our home is now below or closer to the price of new construction.  I have been praying about the situation this week so I know it will be OK.

Our little Anne has started talking more. No sentences yet but, it is getting easier to understand her words.  I find it so amazing how they seem to start talking out of the blue.  I have been telling the other girls they need to work on making her say words before giving her something.

The last two days has been weather confusing here with Team Horning.  The North Dakota weather service issued a winter storm warning or watch two days ago and my girls heard the warning and have been eagerly awaiting the storm.  I am also confused as to when this storm is coming, it might be an interesting Friday/Saturday  in North Dakota.

Tomorrow Theresa receives the Sacrament of Reconciliation. On Wednesday night we participated in a retreat and got a little tour of the Baptismal Font  and Reconciliation room by Monsignor Lindemann.  ( I had to look up how to spell that word. He just got the title of Monsignor last month.)  Our parish administrator did a little talk on the Altar. We have 8 Relics stored in our Reliquaries, I have told Theresa about them but, until she actually saw the 8 little boxes and was told by some else she finally believed.  We have a relic from St. Therese of Lisieux, which is the Saint that Theresa claims as her Saint.
