Treasurer

My word....I went seeking some sort of new group of people to fulfill some sort of longing in myself and I found myself becoming a treasurer.  I decided to look into the women's club at our church.  It started last May when I called to inquire and ended up going to their end of the year dinner.  It was quite fun and it is mostly older women, but I enjoy that to a degree (sometimes more than my own age).  Well, next thing I know I am getting a call to help with the fried dough at the carnival, which again was really fun, actually. Then not only was I planning on attending the club meetings, but am now the treasurer because they really needed someone to help.  In addition to that, the original woman I met is holding a 7 week Bible study of Job "why bad things happen to good people".  I love that theme, so I decided to do that too.  It is amazing how one thing can lead to another, and another....all about taking advantage of opportunities.  Well, I'll let my blog know how this one goes throughout the year.

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
