Hope You....

Do you know that December 25 is a holy day of obligation? So you HAVE to go to church on either December 24 or 25. My family goes both days, as a sign of love toward God.

Just checking if you did.

Christmas is coming.......

Yea!!! Christmas is in 2 days according to Wednesday Dec. 23. Got your presents? Dress? Outfit? Tree? BUT the important thing is that you know the real meaning of Christmas. You know?

ANOTHER thing is that you think about others......spend time with the family. (Yes even grandma who sleeps on the couch.) Are you thousands of miles away from them? Easy, just send a card written by YOU!!! :) See any presents under the tree? Just forget about them. They are just a reward IF you spend your time.

Merry Christmas,
Happy Holidays,

"And I gladly stand up next to you, and defend her still today. 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land..."

Now here is a song you probably never heard of:

Take bread for the journey and strength for the fight.
Comfort to sleep through the night.
Wisdom to choose at the fork in the road.
And the heart that knows the way home.

Go in peace,
Live in grace,
Trust in the arms that will hold you.

Go in peace,
Live in grace,
TRUST IN LOVE.

Think you have suffered enough???

A ten year old boy was working on a construction zone. He packed heavy bricks into his bag and carried them up a ladder to a constructor. An older boy about 16, was tired and laid down.

But after a while the little boy tripped going up in the ladder, and he fell two stories down, with twice the bricks on his back. The little boy died then. Someone called a priest near by to bless the body. The priest blessed it, but found a note in the boy's pocket........to be continued
