Sunday Gratitude – 18.X.2026
Hi everyone! Glad to be back here. I’m still struggling with a lot, and there’s a lot that’s really overwhelming. However, I’m going to give it a shot as far as gratitude here.
Most importantly, probably, is that my son had a surgery on his ear a couple of weeks back, and everything went really, really well. Yes, he had the same surgery back in February on the other ear, and it went really well, but there’s still a good bit of nervousness attached to all these things.
Secondly, I recently took part in the Serbian Orthodox Choral Association’s annual choir festival. Because it was only a week after the surgery, I wasn’t going to go, but then there were people who had signed up who either couldn’t go or couldn’t sing, and I was asked if there might be some way that I could go. I managed to get things arranged, and I went. It was an amazing trip, and I hope to write about it separately. Most of us who went ended up driving, including the people I rode with, but everything went off without a hitch, there were no accidents or incidents with the driving, and the event was a lot of fun. I am very grateful for that, and for getting to see the city and experience the city a little.
If any of you are interested, our choir’s performance can be found here (our group starts at 45:15):
The weather has gotten cooler, and I’m grateful for that (St. Louis at over 90F was quite a shock to the system). This just seems to be one of those patches that is especially rough, so I’d appreciate your prayers for me and my kids.
Thank you ever so much for following; you are amazing!

Wordle #589
Never played Wordle? Check out my Wordle strategy page!
Wordle explanations are posted a day late to ensure that no one accidentally sees the solution before playing.
Line 1: I get an “F” right off the bad with “flirt”, and and “I” in the wrong place.
Line 2: “F” and “I” go together well, don’t they? And with that, why not play “fishy”… da da dum… And it’s the word! Well done!

Happy Gaming!

Wordle #588
Never played Wordle? Check out my Wordle strategy page!
Wordle explanations are posted a day late to ensure that no one accidentally sees the solution before playing.
Line 1: So… “Worry” gives me one “R”, correctly placed.
Line 2: Thinking here, it seemed to make sense that there might be an “I” preceding the “R”, and I lucked out there. The “T” being present but in the wrong place is interesting… It means that it has to be in spot 2 or spot 5, and all things considered, I think it’s more possible that it is spot 5.
Line 3: There aren’t that many 5-letter words ending in “IRT”, and without the “H”, the first blend letter I think of is “L”, and “flirt” comes to mind, and there we go. 🙂

An Update to the Post about Holoviak’s Church Supply
In September, I wrote a post about Holoviak’s Church Supply, which can be found here: https://breathofhallelujah.com/2022/09/26/holoviaks-is-going-out-of-business/.
A couple of days ago, I received the following comment on that post
Glory to Jesus Christ,
-Paula Holoviak
I wanted you to know why Holoviak Church Supply is closing. It is not because of business issues. My husband Peter, President of Holoviak’s, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer 2 years ago. He passed away in September after a brave battle. His brother, Paul, is liquidating the remaining inventory as our boys are too young to take over the business. Keep Peter in your prayers. You may share this with your readersPlease keep the Holoviak family in your prayers.

Wordle #587
Never played Wordle? Check out my Wordle strategy page!
Wordle explanations are posted a day late to ensure that no one accidentally sees the solution before playing.
Line 1: The “Y” at the end is quite interesting.
Line 2: Playing two more vowels here – the “O” in spot 2 is nice – now to see what goes between these two letters!
Line 3: I wanted an “S” word, and maybe because I was tired, the first thing that came to mind was “soggy”. I kind of didn’t want to play it because of the double “G”, but figured that there’s a decent chance that there’s a double letter between the “O” and “Y”. Not only did I strike out on the “G”, but also on the “S”.
Line 4: Getting an “R” here is nice, but I still don’t feel like I have any clue.
Line 5: I think “corny” was a solution before, but it would be interesting if they started throwing in repeats just to keep people on their toes!
Line 6: “Wormy”? I get happy when I see the “W” flip over green – and groan when the 4th spot flips grey – “worry” – I was right about the double consonants. Ha! I should have played “sorry” instead of “soggy”. Oh well, chalk it up to the “fail” category. At least I should be caught up with the posting.

Wordle #586
Never played Wordle? Check out my Wordle strategy page!
Wordle explanations are posted a day late to ensure that no one accidentally sees the solution before playing.
Line 1: “Maize” got me a misplaced “E”… and eliminated two other vowels at the same time.
Line 2: Yay! The “E” goes in the middle, and I suppose that makes it more likely that “E” will be the only vowel.
Line 3: Don’t mind me, I’m just eliminating consonants over here.
Line 4: This is kind of an “all or nothing” move. Words that start with “Q” not only “waste” the first spot, but kind of the second as well with the “U”, but if one doesn’t keep the “Q” possibility in mind, every once in awhile it sneaks up. Here, I see it’s not a “Q” word, and there is no “U” either, BUT the upside is that I know that there are two “E”s in the puzzle.
Line 5: If it’s a double “E”, I’ll put the “E”s in spots 2 and 3. This could also be a “Y” word… Let’s have some fun and play “beefy”. And… It worked! 🙂

Line 1: Down for the “count” here – this word is no help at all! 😉
Line 2: Ahh, the problem children – do we even have the number of 5-letter words with “E” and “A”? I’m guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000.
Line 3: Scooting the “E” and “A” over, but they’re still in the wrong place, and I have no new consonants.
Line 4: Splitting them up here, I do find that the “A” is in spot #2. This could mean that the “E” is at the end, and it would also give me space to sneak the “I” in
Line 5: Here we go – and… well, I’m disappointed, to a degree. Still no consonants, but the “I” does go there. What other combination from the letters left would fit?
Line 6: “Maize”. Interesting. 🙂

Wordle #584

Wordle explanations are posted a day late to ensure that no one accidentally sees the solution before playing.
Line 1: This is odd – No “E” at all, but the “U” is already in the correct place. I’m going to guess that either “U” is by itself, part of “OU” or “AU”.
Line 2: First, let’s get some more consonants! Wow! The guess to make it a “UNT” word was spot on!
Line 3: More consonants, with little luck… Hmm.
Line 4: Let’s go for the “OU” now… and it works! But do I have enough guesses to not run out?
Line 5: I go for “I don’t think there are many options left” and play “count” and it pays off! 🙂 Yay!

Wordle #583
Never played Wordle? Check out my Wordle strategy page!
Wordle explanations are posted a day late to ensure that no one accidentally sees the solution before playing.
Line 1: Only one of the problem children today! Woot!
Line 2: Moving the “E” to the end, I find the correct place and as a bonus, today’s random word ending in “E” gives me a correctly-placed “L” as well.
Line 3: Working on going through vowels here, the “I” is a miss, but I end up with a correctly-placed “D”.
Line 4: Assuming the vowel in the middle is now “U”, it’s just a matter of figuring out which letter I haven’t tried to make a five-letter-word ending “LUDE”. “Elude” seemed the only choice.
