What an awesome responsibility God gives us to raise His children. I will say it was nearly impossible for me to understand the Father’s love until I became a father myself. Thank You Lord. Update: “The Years Go Fast. The Days Go Slow”
1. 1 hour of TV per week Now that I have a child TV is pretty much a luxury so I don’t think it will be that hard. Although I am going to allow myself to bank my hour for the week and use it a later time during lent. After all the Final Four starts April 3rd with Easter being April 4th. My wife threw in vaccuming once a week and I asked her to do 30 minutes of spiritual reading or prayer every other day. OBAMAS WOULD LIKE TO NEUTER CHRISTMAS In yesterday’s New York Times, there was an article about White House social secretary Desirée Rogers. In it, reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote: “When former social secretaries gave a luncheon to welcome Ms. Rogers earlier this year, one participant said, she surprised them by suggesting the Obamas were planning a ‘non-religious Christmas….’” This same participant said that “the Obamas did not intend to put the manger scene on display” (this was confirmed by the White House). Indeed, as Stolberg wrote, “there had been internal discussions about making Christmas more inclusive and whether to display the crèche.” Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today: Unlike almost all Americans—including atheists—the Obamas do not give their children Christmas gifts. We know this because Barack bragged about this last year to People magazine. So it should come as no big surprise that he and his wife would like to neuter Christmas in the White House. That’s their natural step—to ban the public display of Christian symbols. Have any doubts? Last April, Georgetown University was ordered to put a drape over the name of Jesus as a condition of the president speaking there. If the Obamas want to deprive their children of celebrating Christmas, that is their business. It is the business of the public to hold them accountable for the way they celebrate Christmas in the White House. We know one thing for sure: no other administration ever entertained internal discussions on whether to display a nativity scene in the White House.

May you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving. May we all say a prayer of thanks for the blessings God has given us. We live in a free nation may we pray and work to allow it to remain so. God Bless I just added the service Odiogo to my template so if you’d prefer to listen to my posts you can. Just click on the Odiogo button underneath the post title labeled “Listen Now” I also added my Twitter posts in the right hand margin. Five years ago today my wife and I were married. It was a great day. It was one of those days I could live over and over. While at the time neither of us had a job we have come a long way. We honeymooned in Rome and then on the island of St. John with our friends. One of the greatest blessings our our life was that our marriage was blessed by none other than Pope John Paul II.
I’m moving off Blogger & Joomla to WordPress. I just imported all my articles tonight. I will need to go back and ensure all the links and photos are working. Comments could not be salvaged. |

Bishop Approves Needle Distribution
SAY WHAT?
“I understand there will be questions, but this is common sense,” says Sister Maureen Joyce, CEO of Catholic Charities.
Okay folks, in my mind this is just plain wrong. Is this not cooperating with evil? Are they going to hand out condoms next? I think Bishop Hubbard needs to hear from the folks in the pew and from his brother bishops.
