Maranatha

Even so, Lord, come quickly.

In the News:
The Pope proves his point by quoting the erudite Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez contemptuous of USA in USA.
1000 Taliban killed in Afghanistan, survivors will regroup to fight again.
A stolen baby is found.

And not in the news, but news none the less:
Auntie Coosa's angels watching over her as car breaks down in a convenient spot.
Repair and replacement of worn parts will cost in the neighborhood of $1000. The car still gets 38 miles to the gallon, so it's getting repaired.

Auntie Coosa has seven more work days until retirement. So, she laughed at the inconvenience of being without a car for a couple days. No one got hurt and you can't take it with you, so you may as well spend it on something useful.

What is important in this situation? As in all situations it is important to Love God, to Do Mercy and to be willing to be martyred for the Faith.

I am proud of 'my' Pope. The former Archbishop of Canterbury has added his voice of approval for Pope Benedict. Some of my friends have indicated that the Christian and Jewish communities are beinging drawn together as a result of this situation. I hope so.

And if you don't know WHAT to do. Pray. Just continue to grow in your Faith in God and pray, pray, pray.

Pace e Bene.
