Story Of Father Miguel In Mount Sinai

As some of you may know Father Miguel led a group of pilgrimages to the Holy Land again this year and he shared with us his experienced when he went up to Mount Sinai.

Below is his story . . .

“I had to take several breaks on the way up. My meditation was on the way up while I was huffin' and puffin'; I was thinking that Moses got the Ten Commandments on the very mountain I hiked. It was on All Saints that we went there. When it was difficult going up, I offered my difficulty for reparation for my sins; then the Lord moved me to offer it for all my loved ones and all my spiritual children...for reparation for the times the Ten Commandments were violated. We took a bunch of photos being up there. Then, we came down. And at some point where there's a flat area, we offered Mass on Mt. Sinai with Mt Horeb on the background. That was the First Mass I've ever offered in the midst of several Muslims. At the end, we sang to Jesus Christ, our sovereign King; I was a little concern before I led it, but I figured they probably won't understand to martyr us...and after one full verse was sung, it was safe to continue the rest... ;-)”

Ready For The Winter

This is what we do in the South preparing for the hard winter (smile). Temperature is dropping today, so we might have a cold winter and with all these wood . . . we are ready for the winter.

I know our hard winter is nothing like the winter in Minnesota or Canada, but it’s cold enough for us.

I Just Have To

You know with the problems with TSA (Transportation Security Administration), you just have to laugh about it and stay away from flying. That would be the safest thing to do right now.

Now moving on to laughing at the TSA, here are some funny bumper stickers courtesy of Political Humor:

 

 

Red Is My Favorite Color

How do you know it’s a GREAT day in America?

1. When Pelosi becomes Former Speaker of the House.

2. When the whole nations looks red not because the deficit is so high, but because people starts to understand who Obama really is.

3. When you read headlines like: “Republicans vow to roll back Obama agenda”, or Gay Marriage Judges get boot in Iowa”, or my favorite, “Barrack against the wall!”

Congratulations to all the great conservative candidates across the USA.

Start packing Mr. President, you have two more years to stay in the White House, unless you want to leave early!

The Feast Of All Saints

Happy feast of All Saints to all!

This year our family is celebrating All Saints two days in a row, on Sunday and Monday.

On Sunday with the homeschool group and on Monday, on the actual Feast Day, we are celebrating it with the community in Hanceville. We skipped Halloween this year!

Children came dressed as their favorite Saints and they had to tell a short story about the Saints while the crowd guessed who the Saints are. Could you guess who our little saints are?

You probably will not be able to guess who Christiana is supposed to be . . . so I’ll give you a hint . . . She was born in Lourdes. Christiana didn’t want to wear the veil and she didn’t want to carry the bundle of woods that her sisters had collected . . . what do you expect . . . she is almost 2 years old.
