Well, it’s been a little while…
The trouble with not blogging very often is that you get out of the habit of blogging. But it’s been good to have a break, and I don’t think I will go back to blogging several times a week. The way my life is right now, I just don’t have the time, and it takes me away from other stuff in my life which is, at present, more important ~ work, family, Church ~ all busy, all full, all needing a greater percentage of Mrs. Pogle!
But today is Saturday and I have a rest day (the first in a while) and am alone in the house! What luxury 
I plan to do a little housework (not too much!) and then spend some quality time with God and pray in a more focused way, instead of praying on the hoof as I have been doing this last few weeks. Then I am going to watch a film this afternoon and eat some Thorntons chocolates…life can have its little luxuries once in a while. The film I will watch is one of my favourites ~ it’s funny, sad, poignant, quirky all at the same time: Goodbye Lenin
Later on I shall go to Mass. I am going to a different Church, one which isn’t very far away, but I haven’t visited before. It’s a Novus Ordo Mass, but I have heard positive things said about the reverence with which it is said, and the respect the congregation have for the presence of our Lord, instead of the noisy chatter before the service. It may be a possibility for the weekends when there is no Latin Mass. Oh, I hope so, I sincerely hope so. I have tried so hard where I am, and have come to a point where I need to look elsewhere. Please pray for me, and especially that I allow myself to be guided by God and make the right choice.
So that’s me this week! Nothing deeply spiritual, nothing profound. It has been a whirlwind of a week, but God was there in the midst when I looked for Him. Sometimes, that is simply how life is.
“All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.” Ecc. 3:1

God is ALWAYS where we look for Him, even found in prisons and the like…so, for the times when we can’t make circumstances more reverent or prayer conducive then we must make ourselves more focused and reverent. Easy to say, hard to do, but not impossible. May God bless and fill you wherever you may go.
blessings and hugs,
marcy

praying for you. Hard to find the inward peace and focus in the midst of chaos or chatter – though it can be done – but sometimes God undoubtedly uses outward circumstances to guide us in a new direction. May He lead and bless you.
