March 17, 2026

 It is St. Patrick's day. It is the celebration of the life of Saint Patrick and a celebration of the spread of christianity in Ireland. Some say it is a reminder of God's grace working through unlikely people. Ironic that the word I pulled from my god box this morning was but for the grace of God.

Bit of a storm out there today. Rain and wind. I have things to do but they are all indoor things. Until this evening, of course, and hopefully by this evening all of that will have eased up.

 Supposed to be another storm this evening, except it will be heavy rain and not heavy snow. No shovelling involved which is good. I think way too much driveway gravel is on the lawn already. One thing about the weather in Nova Scotia. If you don't like it, wait a few minutes. It always changes.

 My word from the god box today was actually a slogan. How important is it. When I started making today's entry, I noticed I haven't updated this blog for a couple of days. And as I mentioned at the god box blog, is this something that will be important next week, next month, or next year. Probably not. So how important is it today, really? I remember being a bit rushed yesterday and that's why I missed the update yesterday. I don't know what the reason was on Friday. Main thing is I'm updating it today.

It's Sunday today so we'll start our day with church. After the service will be coffee hour. This afternoon I have the monthly district meeting for the GSRs (General Service Representatives) and since I'm the so-called leader of the district committee, it's my responsibility to chair that meeting.

This evening I host the Living Sober Group on zoom. It's a book study and the section we're doing tonight is on changing old routines, a common practice when attempting to stop a bad behaviour, like an addiction to drinking or smoking.

It's Friday the thirteenth. Snowed last night. Not much but enough that I had to shovel this morning. Luckily, it was light snow so it was mostly just pushing it off to the side. Supposed to meet with a friend to read a chapter in the book; hope the weather does not deter him. Time will tell.

The meeting we go to this evening is on zoom so at least we won't have to frig around with buses or walking.

 Another day of light rain and mild temperature, helps to get rid of february's snow. I don't have much on the go today, might be meeting with someone this morning in person or this afternoon on zoom. That will be up to them.

Another simple supper would be great. Cheeseburgers maybe.
