Monday and today Tuesday have been very quiet and restful.  Yesterday I put some chicken legs and thighs in the crock pot with some celery and let it cook all day.  Boy, the smell sure made me hungry all day.  I washed the dishes and then relaxed for the rest of the day.  Today, I will wash clothes.  Later, Tom and I are taking our daughter Anne to pickup her car from the mechanics.

This last Sunday, Anne and her daughter Gaby came home from San Diego.  They had gone to Sea World.  Gaby is nine years old and had never been to Sea World.  She had wanted to go there for a long time.  On the way back Anne's car broke down in Gila Bend, Arizona.  Gila Bend is seventy five miles west of Phoenix, were we live.  She called and said that she would need to be picked up.  Tom and I were supposed to be at our formation classes for the Secular Franciscans.  We were upset about missing the class.  We thought that the Devil was keeping us from our class.  He was keeping us away from the love of the Lord and our Community.

We started to pray.  All of a sudden Anne called to say that a friend was going to pick her up.  The friend lived only a half and hour away from Gila Bend.  Praise God!  We made it to our class.

After class we enjoyed the first annual St. Mary's Fall Festival.  The people there are so friendly and hospitable.  We had a fantastic time.  The food and fellowship were awesome.

Even though we have to go with Anne today to Gila Bend to pick up her car.  It will be a new and exciting adventure in our lives.  God spared Anne a huge mechanic bill.  She is happy and that makes us happy too.

We are looking forward to what God has in store for us.

We will be Vigil and Persistent in Prayer.
