Proverbs 19:17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his deed.
Yesterday, I was just having a bur or two under my saddle. I overslept and missed the Latin Mass we had planned to go to; one thing led to another, and we were on track for 8 PM Mass at the Cathedral across town. It's a beautiful building, but there are some human things inside that really distract from its beauty, and underwhelm the Mass as well. (We like the priest; it isn't him.)
Anyway, the bur under my saddle was just rubbing me the wrong way, but I was managing not to let it get to me. That is, until we got to the Church. Then it went wrong. No parking, no parking assistance, and it's not an area I'm that familiar with. They will tow you if you are parked in the wrong spot. The security guard did his best to annoy me, both when I asked him where to park, and when we finally were making our way to the Church, and it was like he was trying to argue with me about his directions (which were not good). I didn't initiate the conversation, but kept on going, as now we were late for Mass. ARGH. I much prefer being early, and we had arrived in plenty of time essentially. It was hot inside, I was cranky, Mass was starting, people were talking all through Mass, being disrespectful, the acoustics were impossible..........oh how I could go on!! (I promise not to go on, so read more after the break!!)
