Ah, the rains and if not rain then wind. No burning the weeds, etc. from the garden and berry patch because of the wind. Thanks to Karen B, the strawberry patch is clean and will be ready for planting as soon as the strawberries are available. Blackberry area is slowly being cleaned and “volunteer” plants dug out. Next comes repair of the trellises. Team shouldn't be concerned about getting together at the garden as never has there been 10 present to work so plenty of space between. Expect the garden will be ready when the plants and dry ground are. Understand if there are still concerns about gathering so, the call goes out for the time when the world is once again healed. As for the Face Book person, you can start now as this is a “home based” project. So, as the song of long ago went, “2 ^nd verse, same as the 1 ^st”: Volunteers for regular work, specific tasks or on your schedule are needed. Consider this a personal invitation to you (social separation) and that special person known to our Lord who will make the garden Face Book page achieve His plan for it. Email gr617@aol.com to be placed on the volunteer list or to discuss the Face Book page and we will go from there. All will be blessed.
 
Positive note about watching the Mass from St Joe's. You can easily listen to Fr Mark's homily and take notes. If you miss anything you do an instant replay. His message last week was especially important: To be Jesus to others. Just as important is to remember is that we must not change back to old habits when this pandemic, this shaking is over and it will be. Reflect on the past 25 years. There have been several “shakings”, each one a bit more severe but people went back to their old ways. We can't let that happen again. We must bring Christ back into the fore of our lives rather than let things of the world and  things that lead us down a path without God prevail. A thought: Mass from St. Joe's and Fr Mark's messages must be important. Otherwise, there would not have been difficulty posting it on You Tube. Don't waste the opportunity our Lord is giving you to be Him to others. Be the best steward, shepherd you can be; and as Father Mark tells us: Put God first; be Catholic. Reflect the light of our Lord to all those you encounter. We pray that God bless you and prosper all you do in His name.
