I rise at 6:00 a.m., which isn't as sacrificial as it sounds, as I that is where my circadian clock is set. Down to the kitchen to help with breakfast and pack lunches. Several 'core members' go out for about four hours to work each day - McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Publix, etc. This is, however, after Morning Prayer, which is said in a different house each day. All who wish, gather to read Scripture, share and pray. This morning we listened to God through silent meditation.
Assistants do housework from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. then have free time until 2:00 p.m. Tuesday I drove Marius, Emma and Micha to the beach, as they don't have cars. Marius is from Poland; Emma and Micha from Germany. They are all delightful, exuberant and extremely dedicated. I walked two miles on the sand while they surfed and sunbathed.
After supper last night, we took the van and drove down to The Riverwalk to stroll and buy ice cream. At this point, you must be wondering where the sacrifice comes in, as I just seem to be having fun. There is a serious side to all this, which you'll see later on. I am really just observing right now, and I have to go through medication training and take other tests to be able to handle things on my own.
Some members and assistants have been on retreat at Marywood this week. We are joining them dinner and for Mass tonight, said by the Bishop.
