dang it again!
i used to go to noon weekday mass at st. philip the apostle in pasadena. i found this church when i started working here at kaiser and i found that their priests were really good and eventhough the sermons had to be short, they were very effective. i even had a very good week where i went every single day of the week. that was really cool. but i usually went at least once or twice a week. well, crap, since i've been working with the project manager, we end up eating lunch together too. and it's been eating up my going to mass time. plus, it's just been so super busy cuz of end of the year stuff that we sometimes order lunch in as a whole department and just work straight through. well, it's slowed down a bit, so i was planning to go to mass yesterday. d, the project manager, asked me what we're doing for lunch and i told him i was going to mass. he's always trying to dissuade me so he says, "just go tomorrow." so i figured okay. i like going on fridays anyway. well, today, i got in late, so i didn't get to take a lunch, plus a big ass project landed in my lap, so the more i couldn't get out. when it was hitting 11:55am, i was feeling really crappy about it. and by the time 12:05pm (time when mass starts) rolled around, i was feeling really pissed at myself for not just putting my foot down yesterday and not being on time today. it's been like a month! i miss Him. i need to spend time with Him. gl always gets all pissy if he doesn't get his alone time with Him and heck, so do i. except, his time is bible-reading time, mine is going to visit the blessed sacrament time. so now, i'm in a crappy mood, plus my stupid project's all screwed up (not my fault, but still my problem), and our stupid system's down so i can't even work on it. aughhhh!
i love the youth mass that heaven sent has been putting on. i really do. i love the songs and the kids are so excited about it. it's just that i'm so busy managing the details of it that it's hard to just calm down and enjoy it. i need to quiet down and just pray, dang it.
oh, and shameless plug again:

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
