We are in the early stages of a wind and snow event right now and it occurred to me to get going on this post before the cable and power go out. There were such nice comments on yesterday’s post, make sure to look at those while you are here.
It’s afternoon and we have gotten a lot of wind so far. The snow is supposed to come over night. Catherine is making homemade pizza for us tonight. We are going to watch something funny afterward. Need some comedy therapy.
I got news that one of my hunting buddies has past away. He was a great partner on our archery elk hunts. Will miss you Bill.
We had a great Bible Guys session this morning. Covered the last chapter of Hebrews to finish up with that book. I am not quite sure where we are off to next. I threw in the idea of tackling Genesis. It is chock full of great story.
Where are we, the fourth day of Lent? We are off to a very solid start with hope for a lot of progress. This reminds me so much of the Lent I spent in the spring of 2014. I was reading chapters of Annie’s book as she emailed them to me. It was such a high time getting ready for going to Spain. We were working on the physical stuff and the interior stuff. And this now, this Lent, seems similar at least in it’s intensity. Our pilgrimage to Lourdes is on the horizon and is flavoring my walk at the moment.
Mass tomorrow with Father David. I am in such a great spot now with all the internal drama of my treatments and the energy that is coming in and the looking forward to France. It is a heady brew. Love to you, Felipe.
The Lourdes trip sounds so amazing, I hope I am able to experience that one day too. Your spirit and that of the Felipe Family built around your story is uplifting and a balance to what I see every day in the concerns of those around me.
Thank you for making the effort to share with us. Sleep well after that comedy therapy!
Ron ~ I love it that you are so close to us here at Caminoheads, checking in all the time. The “Felipe Family”, there is a new phrase, thank you for that. It is all a collaboration here, resulting in a rich sauce. I am glad that we are balancing something out there in the real world. Good, good, Felipe.
Hola Felipe!!
Sounds like you and your tumors have reached a new relationship and (I am not being facetious) it reminds me of a Dr. Seuss story: Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! Yes, it’s time. Another miracle cure has recently been officially announced after someone visited Lourdes. I have been there with my daughter many years ago and it is…special.
St. James has been whispering in my ear for a longish while now, saying that I have to walk the Camino Portugués and the deal was sealed when out of the blue, I got a text message from Sherif in Cairo on Christmas Day saying that he also feels the call again and is thinking of going mid-June which is when I want to go. I’ve already got my ticket to France so will take my trusty back pack and hop down to Porto to discover who I am supposed to meet on The Way and what I am supposed to learn this time. I’m dedicating it to you and to a dear, brilliant friend in France whose situation is hopeless and yet she finds joy in living every day with her beloved husband of only 8 years (he is late 70’s and she is mid-50’s, a story nearly as beautiful as you and Your Rebecca’s).
Whatever happens, we insiders know that it’s Alperfect, don’t we?
Much love to you and yours,
Mary Margaret
Mary Margaret ~ so good to hear from you. So glad that you are in touch with Sherif and have plans of further escapades. Thank you so much in your dedication of your latest Camino to myself and your good friend. I feel so well supported and blessed these days. Alperfect once more, Felipe.x
Hola Felipe,
Does this mean you are “in” in the pilgrimage to Lourdes?!
Cris ~ I haven’t talked about it lately because I have not heard officially from them. Our paperwork was late in being processed due to some last minute changes on our part. As soon as I know you will know. How are you doing down there? Felipe.x
