As many regular readers
know, due to my employment changes, the last several months have been
a financial burden on me, as well as many of you.
I have gone from 40 hours
a week to about 28 a week (on a good week) and, as is the case for
many of us, I end up with far too much month left at the end of the
money. In fact, the day after my computer went down, I also had the
experience of having my electric power shut off for the first time in
my life. I had gotten paid that day, but it took all the money that I
had to get the power turned back on later that night. The power
company is requiring that I pay an additional amount as a “deposit”
by my next pay day on May 24 (which is kind of funny as that is two
days after my birthday).
So, I have added a “Tip
Jar” over on the top right hand sidebar of each blog if anyone
would like to give me a hand. The “Donate” button utilizes
PayPal, which is familiar to most internet users. I appreciate what
you can do, and I would especially appreciate your prayers more than
anything!
Once again, I would like
to thank all of you who have clicked the various ads that appear on
these blogs, and for using my links to purchase Mystic Monk Coffee,
and the products I have from Zazzle. If it hadn't been for the
purchases of Mystic Monk Coffee that literally poured in after
Christmas through March, I would not have been able to have made it
through the winter.
Let me say, that I am
embarrassed to post this, but I am to the point of not knowing what
else I can do, except rely on God, who has seen me through many
storms. God has been good to me, and has helped me out with so many
trials that I can not begin to recount them all.
So, please keep me in
your prayers. I appreciate that more than you could
ever know!
May God Bless you and Our
Lady keep you in her care!
