Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:44 PM

Time to get the kids (plus one sleepover tagalong) ready for 7am Mass. Because of school vacations, the twins have no CCD this morning. 06:12am

I've determined that my new (Greek) name is Papa Grababagapellets. All winter long I hear it most every time I come in from the garage. 09:11am

It looks like AMD/ATI is now open-sourcing the 'tcore' level drivers, which we often use during diagnostics of the chips. (related link) 09:20am

Just warning those heading out to Mass soon: today's Gospel reading is a fairly long one -- Jesus and the woman at the well. 09:25am

Timothy and I went to Peter's to watch him change his brakes (pads and rotors). We learned a lot. 12:35pm

The family and I are watching The Martian Child on DVD. Soon we're going candle pin bowling. 02:47pm

Timothy helped me clean out the drain in a bathroom sink. Yuck! 03:21pm

Back from bowling and having take out Chinese food with friends. Now getting the boys ready for bed. 06:50pm

Just checking email before going to bed. Roughly 80 pieces of spam since the same time last night when I last emptied that folder. sigh 07:32pm

Comments

We had the same gospel reading from Mark, the long passage about the woman at the well at my family's baptist church this weekend when I was home visiting them. I know there are themes following some patterns throughout the liturgical calendar, but it's interesting having different churches line up that closely.

I really appreciated that reading and the sermon. I remember hearing the story from back when I was a kid, but never paid attention to the themes of it. I remembered the woman not understanding what the metaphor of "living water" was, but I completely missed the themes of Jesus talking to a woman, let alone a Samaraton, a lower group of people.

Yep, there's a lot to ponder in that event. I, too, am surprised you had the same reading.
