Do You Love Me?

Posted by on
I read today's Gospel through tears of joy. I was profoundly touched by the conversation between Jesus and Peter. I was moved to tears by the gentleness and compassion Jesus shows to Peter, and to us if we but ask.  The gregarious, outspoken disciple is finally humbled by the Lord and recognizes, maybe for the first time, that Jesus truly loves him, trusts him, forgives, and forgets all of Peter's failings and weaknesses. This passage is moving but we would do well to first read the entire 21st Chapter of John, a mere 25 verses to really understand how the relationship between these two men has moved to an entirely different level. John brings his Gospel to a close by taking us back to the very beginning of the relationship. Back then, Peter was out fishing all night, catching nothing, before his first encounter with the Lord. Here too, Peter, who is at this point confused, wrestling with emotions of hope and guilt, joy and sorrow, is out fishing all night catching nothing. Ag

A Stinky Situation

Posted by on
We set a live trap to capture the ground hog that has been destroying our garden. The beast ate all the bush beans, climbed some of the sunflower plants and ate all of the leaves. After all of this was done he turned his attention to our pole beans. This in itself was quite a feat. The pole beans are clinging to rebar two foot in the ground and 8 to 10 feet in the air. Sometime, we think at night, he climbed to the very top and ate all of the leaves and most of the beans. I would love to at least get a picture of him doing this if not a shot of hot lead.

Anyway, I saw something moving in the trap and discovered our friend Pepe Le Pew. This cute but stinky little critter would really like to get out but I am unsure as how to accomplish this without doing the obvious. If anyone has an ingenious way of releasing Pepe with out any harm coming to him (certain death) or his human friends (certain stink) we would both appreciate your input?!?!!!

"Ah, my little darling, it is love at first sight, is it not, no?".
