The Sherlock Holmes movies are digitally remastered ones from 1946 with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Interesting to watch something that was filmed around the time I was born. I went over to Club Pogo and played a few games of Whompit before hitting the sack at midnight. The alarm clock sounded right on time this morning although I need to turn the volume down just a tad.
Despite getting up on time I was five minutes late getting to church. I asked Larry if he was getting worried. He said he was getting there. 
Debi asked if I was ok since I’m almost always there early. I assured her I was fine. Aside from an occasional sour note my playing went fine. Of course my hand accidentally swiped a note on the keyboard during the pastor’s final prayer. Oops!
Nancy wasn’t at church today so I gave Phil her angels. He said she needed more sleep. I emailed her tonight but I’ll give her a call tomorrow. Pastor Dale gave me a scare tonight when he was talking about Mary, the older lady with all the heart problems. He said, “Mary passed…..” and I expected to here “away” but she had passed her stress test so she can have another surgery on Tuesday. I told him NOT to start the sentence with Mary (or whoever) PASSED when you’re talking about someone who is quite ill.
I have another baby gift to add to the list. Bill’s niece in Oregon is due in June. He told me that not long ago but I had forgotten until it came up again today. I’m on the last row of the pink afghan. I had hoped to finish it last night but it wasn’t to be unless I stayed up past midnight – not a good idea when I have to get up so early.
So I’ll try again tonight while I watch the second Sherlock Holmes movie on this disk. I think I have everything for Linda’s Christmas box so I need to get that packed and on its way.
The Mouse Trap
A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain?
He was aghast to discover that it was a mousetrap!
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning, "There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house."
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me; I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mouse trap in the house."
"I am so very sorry Mr. Mouse," sympathized the pig, "but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, "Like wow, Mr. Mouse, a mouse trap; am I in grave danger, Duh?"
So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected to face the farmer's mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.
In the darkness, she did not see that it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital.
She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
His wife's sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
