Kid's Hands

Praise God for kids hands.

Praise God for everything.

Ram

Hi, I got 2 gigs of ram. I also got one blue screen.

Here's hoping it is a one time hic-up.

Mass was wonderful today, I realize how much I miss daily Mass

now that I'm back to work.

Jesus is allowing me to have some dry periods.

I keep reflecting on how I perceive Mary to be saying, "We love you."

I love you Mother

Hail Full of Grace

I find myself thinking thoughts that lead me into sin. Thoughts like, "I shouldn't being doing this for that person" or "I don't have the patience for this" or "I'm above this task."

What has helped me with this? I pray the Rosary throughout the day. If I miss count and do 75 Hail Marys instead of 10…. big deal.

Usually my hands are working so I can't hold my Rosary. It is like a chant.  I will tell you that it works.

Our Blessed Mother loves us so much!!!

3000 Decades

See this fence metal tube thing. I worked all week and felt like this.

Now I have filled up my stomach with a big Friday dinner and I am

going to take a nap before I go to bed.

Mother

This story moved me very much.

Grace From Mary

This morning, I was praying before I left for work.

I was nervous.

Mary said to me, "give yourself to them, We will be with you."

Mother I love you!

Don't Say NO

I want a Rosary that goes around my wrist.

I printed out this thing and posted it on my wall.

I thought I was going a little far until I saw it on my wall

and realized it was wonderful!

Everything I do with Jesus is perfect.

My Sat

Poison Oak = little bumps that occur 60 seconds after you give in to the itch.

Scratching the itch is an incredible pleasure.

Not scratching is something I was never able to do, I always gave in.

Since becoming Catholic and now getting poison oak, I have not given in.

I don't think I'm reaching here.

My Duty

I will not walk around hoping for the demise of somebody because I feel they are responsible for me being there and miserable. I can resolve this issue within myself through God's grace. That requires prayer whenever I feel myself going down that misguided road.

Thank you Jesus for helping me identify this sinful and futile thought process, thank you Jesus for being my hope for resolution in this difficulty.

Beautiful Mother, I love you, Amen

Not my will but Yours be done

Well, I was checking the news and saw the story regarding Susan Boyle. I watched her video and was amazed, then I started listening to the lyrics.
"And there are storms we can not weather."
I can relate to that. I may be yoked to Jesus but I will be crushed. I can just feel it. For me to understand the truth I must be crushed as he was.
Have mercy on me Lord

Dry Me Up

I have poison oak, I threw out my back, and I had to go to work today after a long lay-off.

I said the rosary 3 times this morning and when I got home I told my wife that I am going to bed and I will not get up till tomorrow. I can't sleep. The sisters said something about dying by pin pricks rather than crucifixion.

Quit complaining Mr. Thomas

Questions

Why are we here?

When I die what happens?

Catholic

I'm Catholic, that is my identity.

I cling to Jesus and his sacraments.

I may not feel holy all the time but

I must always engage in the sacraments.

At this time in my life, there is no other

place for me but at the feet of our Lord.

Praise be Lord Jesus Christ! 

I got mad

Why did this thing make me so mad this morning.

I really needed it to work for some reason.

I was distracted at Mass in the beginning.

I got over it but not completely because I

have now scanned it and am still pissed at it.

 

Clutter

 

Easter

Last night, at the Easter Vigil, I went into church a little worn out with my faith.  I had been arguing with Shirley a little, temptations to get angry. I was mad at God for not giving me the spiritual gifts that I thought I needed.

 

Well, Easter Vigil marks the end of Lent and the beginning of Easter and so it was in my soul. The service was fantastic. Lights and candles, baptisms and confirmations. There was a wonderful choir and the participants were singing with great joy. When I saw a new mother and her baby get baptized I almost started crying, when she received the Eucharist I was really moved. She was so happy, hugging her family with a smile of inner peace and union. I could tell she had been around in the world but she had come home tonight and I knew she was in the right place.

 

As I walked back to my pew, after receiving the Eucharist, I was caught up in the Holy Spirit. It was marvelous!

 

Ok Lord lets put on our packs and walk some more, Amen

Good Friday

In my Lenten reflections book,

the author used the mental image of  

gang rape, comparing that

to the Crucifixion.

Pray

I can't even think today.

I worked out

Filled out an application

Worked in yard.

Prayed Rosary.

I'm a sinner, distracted and worried.

I'm getting old and I can't get

out of myself to pray for my dear ones

in earnest.

Lord I love you, Amen

 

day in

At night, when I am sitting in bed, there is just me and our Lord.

No computer fans moving air or hardrives clicking, no TV in the

background no work staring me in the face. In that time I usually

feel united with Jesus. My love is with me at all times.

sin blows

I recently saw an interview with Rev. Thomas J. Eutenuer.

He is involved with exorcisms. I liked his response to the

questions of the interviewer.

His answers told the truth about evil and going

against God's commandments.

Are you ready.... sin is boring and lame.

There is nothing that makes me more sad than the

time I have wasted on sin or watching others pursue

sin. We only need fear sin when it is allowed to fester.

Don't pursue something that makes you look like an idiot.

Smile

A lady in an interview said, "those who are false can't smile."

Lord, I have a hard time smiling sometimes. It gets harder to smile as I get older.

Lord, is this my cross or what? help me smile Lord

Dreams and Suffering

Last night. God gave me reflections on a person I once worked with. That person was stealing something. Then I prayed for him and his kids. Why do I dream so much. I was dreaming an hour after I went to bed.

Write about the transition from gaining anything childlike from life to the realization that we have suffering laid out before us and we understand that. We are able to deal with that because of God's grace. Embrace that, accept it and find joy in it, it is just that simple.

Lord, I look to you for these graces, Amen

I found a dead animal

It was really just a skeleton.

Jaw bone, scapular and other things.

I believe it to be a possum.

Straw

maybe I have some of what was revealed to him \\ sometimes

Holy Week

This week I am going to Mass everyday.
