Last night I went to an Evening of Recollection (Opus Dei style) at Prince of Peace in Taylors, SC.
I love the meditations, the prayer time, and the opportunity for confession - that's the sinning part, or actually the redemption part. In my confession, Fr. Smith talked about the leper who called out to Jesus, "Lord you can make me clean if it is your will." While I am not skeptical of the power of Jesus, I have made that call (probably with a lot less faith), and still need constant cleansing.

This morning Thomas and I put down a hog. We didn't have any help. I figured it to be about 200-220 pounds .... After putting it down, Thomas and I couldn't lift it! I am no Captain American, but I am also no pre-1941 Steve Rogers either. (This was the miscalculation.) I think the hog was over 300 pounds. We ended up using brains rather than brawn.
We still we ready to put it on ice in under 2 hours. (Not cold enough to just hang in the shed.) Not bad for the home team.
Oremus pro invicem!

Yep I saw this day coming so before I left the former USA i purchased at Northern Tool a Chain fall.
Now we hang our sides from the water tower for the evening. Even in the summer here it is cool enough to hang meat overnight as it gets into the low 40s at night.
Good luck on the next one.
Jim
