Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as
the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, you must recognize
Satan in his efforts to destroy your peace. He uses time and space to
his advantage. You, too often, blame events in the present moment on
human weakness. In some ways this is true, as Satan turns human
weakness to his advantage. You must go deeper and recognize that Satan
is the cause of human weaknesses in many cases.”
“If you stay in My Paternal embrace through obedience to My
Commandments, you will readily see Satan’s grasp on situations or events
all around you. He uses weak people – people who do not respect My
Commandments – to foster weakness in others. It is in this way, he
gains control of situations and uses human resources to promote evil. I
give you the examples of advanced technology and politics. Therefore,
watch for his motives underlying your present-moment activity. Learn to
recognize his signatures – confusion and lack of peace. Turn his
efforts to My good in this way.”
Read Ephesians 6:10-17+
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put
on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood,
but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world
rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of
wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of
God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done
all, to stand. Stand therefore, having fastened the belt of Truth around
your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and
having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; besides
all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all
the flaming darts of the Evil One. And take the helmet of salvation, and
the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Hey guys, if you’re in the DFW area of Texas, can you please look out for this kitty? Lucy belongs to my best friend and has been missing since Sunday. They’ve found her collar but not her, though she is microchipped.
I’ve also been praying for the intercession of St. Anthony, Patron Saint of Lost Things, St. Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of Animals, and St. Gertrude, Patron Saint of Cats.
Update as of 15 minutes ago: “The search for Lucy continues. Found several possums and a coyote, plus dozens of cats that aren’t mine. 😿”
New picture of Lucy up.
Lucy is still missing. Lea thought she had a lead, but it wasn’t her. Please pray, Lea is hurting.
Experiencing brutal cold for a period of time every year keeps you humble
That’s why Californians are like that
Time to plastic over the windows for the season.
????? Why??????????
You put the plastic on the windows to stop the heat from leaking out of your house from between the panes, through the glass itself, and where the window is attatched to the rest of the house. This does make a drastic difference in the temeprature of your house and the amount of gas/electricity needed to keep it warm.
Some other Winter Things:
If you think there’s going to be an exceptionally deep freeze, you open up all the cabinets in the house to warm the air in there and keep the pipes from freezing/bursting.
If you’re going to be away for a while in winter, it’s adviseable to turn your water off to avoid the same.
Putting an electric Blanket between your topcover and bedsheet and pre-heating your bed for half an hour so you don’t get a chill going to bed.
Applying literal vasaline to your lips if you’re going to be in the cold for an extended time (more than 10-20 min, depending on latitude), becuase chapstick won’t cut it and your lips will split and bleed and HURT
Doing the same to your nose
Your tears go from liquid to gooey trying to produce a similar protection for your eyes. You can also feel the water freeze on your eyes if you step directly out into the cold.
Also since I know you’re a socal person- in the far north you can get as little as eight hours of daylight. 7AM to 3 PM. You need to by the most obnoxiously bright light possible and sit beside it or you will actually literally develop psychosis in some cases. It’s 4:30 and you need to take the dog out? it’s pitch black out.
Everything is covered in ice, which will alternately cause you to slip and break something, burn, or actually tear off your skin.

“For decades non-Catholics and even some perplexed Catholics have questioned a number of the beliefs and especially the devotional acts of the Catholic Church. Scott Hahn addresses these questions in Signs of Life, producing crystal-clear explanations of the Church’s traditional practices. His own background as a convert makes him the perfect person to write this book.”—Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR
