Twice a year I take vacation– in December to be with family and in August to be with family.  This summer I am with my parents who are in their 80’s.  I am very blessed and these are special times.

There will not be a post today or next Tuesday.  I highly recommend you go to my Facebook page, Healthy Catholics https://www.facebook.com/healthycatholics/?ref=bookmarks  or Catholics and Depression  https://www.facebook.com/catholicsanddepression/ I have been posting there for years including jokes, inspirations, and the latest psychology news.  You can scroll back and see it all.  If I have time I may forward some things there from the newsreel.

I leave you today’s gospel acclamation:  “The word of God is living and effective, able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.”   Heb 4:12
