holy desire

It is 2:31 PM Tuesday afternoon here in south western Michigan. It is going to rain this evening. Right now it is cold and gray outside. It has been predicted to snow tonight leading into this coming Friday. We might get slammed with Lake effect snow tonight and tomorrow. But I seriously doubt it because local weather folks always predict the worse which rarely occurs. I think weather experts like to scare folks with predictions of horrible weather. I am predicting here in Michigan we will have another light winter with little snow.

I got just got home from my Psychologist appointment-from 1 o'clock PM till 2 o'clock PM. I basically sit and talk to my Psychologist about stuff. Do I have any problems? How is my mental health? When my Psychologist's ask me how I am doing? I answer I seek to live each day at a time. I seek to withdraw from the world as much as possible. I pray constantly for God's holy transforming grace to keep facing life in this messed up world. I am thankful I am 72 years old and can look forward to being with the Lord soon.

This morning I broke my morning routine to go with Carol grocery shopping-I needed to fill my car with gas. I only had time today to have devotions with my wife and to read some Mystical Theology. At my Psychologist office I read from a book I got yesterday titled, "A Philosophy Of Walking" by Frederic Gros Translated by John Howe.

I read mainly last night before going to bed, "The Librarianist" A Novel by Patrick deWitt.

Tonight has over to our house her Neighborhood Women's Book Club. Life keeps going. I will close to feel exhausted.

"[21] Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
[22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
[23] Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
[24] And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
[25] But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
[26] The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
[27] Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
[28] But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
[29] And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
[30] And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
[31] So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
[32] Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
[33] Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
[34] And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
[35] So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses." Matthew 18:21-35
