Almost there

from last August in Michigan).

Wow.

We are at the 5th week of lent.

The 5th week often has had very painful things in it

in the past;

I said this to one from my church and the reply was

must be because it is so close to Holy Week.

This makes sense;

Holy Week, as my spiritual father says,

is, if you were only to live for 7 days,

the 7 days you would want to live

and that these 7 days contain

everything needed for one's salvation;

(he is quick to add of course one needs to go to church

year round).

It is hard to believe Holy Week is almost upon us.

I have great anticipation for this week.

Meanwhile this coming week I will have to do a lot

of job searching activities.

Please pray for me.
