Losing a job on Sunday

As it so turned out, I returned home from a fifteen hundred mile trip, to find out that I have no more work waiting for me. I guess God means for me to do a lot more than I had been doing. Curiously enough, the sermon at mass today was all about embracing the cross that we each are given. The discussion of the beatitudes that today's Gospel related to us, was recalled to me in terms of abnegation and sacrifice. So, added stress equals new cross. Great.... I thought I had enough already. I can always add more and offer it up, like the soldier in Joyce Kilmer's "A Soldier's Prayer." The question then becomes: "What does a liberal arts graduate do while attempting to get into grad school?" Anyway, fairwell until next time.
