Our Lady's Windy Acres

Dusting off and moving forward

Well, I've not blogged for a while. Life got away from me, I guess. With the voting results last week, I was afraid that if I did blog, I'd say something I might regret, as my feelings at the result from the vote were very strong, to say the least.  That being said, I've got a few things on my mind (!).

First of all, I have to say how very disappointed, frustrated and downright angry I am that 54 or so percent of all Catholics actually voted for Obama.  They aren't Catholics at all, in fact, just pew-warmers, cultural Catholics, pick-n-choose Catholics, C&E Catholics.  The fifth commandment couldn't get any clearer, could it? What part of Thou Shalt Not Kill do these people not understand? An unborn child is a living being, formed in his mother's womb. Abortion is murder. Full stop. It's a "DUH" moment.  The bishops came out and said that to vote for someone who is pro-abort is tantamount to committing a mortal sin and putting your soul in jeopardy.  Did these people listen? Nope.  If these people can't follow ALL the rules of the church, then they need to move on.  We have enough hypocrites in the world - we don't need any inside the church.  Sigh - good thing I'm not in charge LOL.

I think we're in for some very hard times in the future.  Homesteading skills are suddenly becoming very necessary.  We have to relearn so many things that have been lost, all in the name of progress.

A very wise priest, Fr. Ryland, said last week in one of his homilies that in spite of all this, we must find joy.  Wow.  I must admit I'm having trouble with that one, but maybe we are to find joy in simpler things - our family, having enough rather than an abundance, our Faith.

Therefore I must dust myself off, and move forward.  God is in control and He always has a plan.  In His infinite mercy, He will bring all of us back where He wants us, no matter what needs to be done to do it.
