Fabiola

 The highschool put on their play today.  I guess it lasted about 2 hours but honestly I was so enthralled I had no idea. hehe  Jaclyn played Fabiola, to say she impressed us big time,would be an understatement.  We are very proud.  All the kids did great.  Joe and Carolyn has small parts but did great too.  It was a great show.  Its all about the Catholic Persecutions.  Fabiola is a well to do and people around her are Christian but in secret, as they are found out and murdered she finds in her heart she was Christian all along.

 

 

 

End Year Prayer

At Year's End

By James J. Metcalfe

Dear God, I thank You for this year

That now is near its end
For health and home and happiness
And every faithful friend
I thank You for my daily work
Each failure and success
And for the courage to go on
In time of strain and stress
Dear God, forgive the many wrongs
I did throughout the year
My foolish discontent and each
Unnecessary tear
Forgive the negligence in me
The prayers I did not say
The opportunities and all
The time I whiled away
And help me through the coming months
With grace and strength anew
That I may give my best on earth
To praise and honor You.

My Birthday

Welp, it happened, had my birthday, I was so excited for my birthday this year since it fell on election day I just knew American would rid of us the disease called Obama, boy was I stunned.  I'm still stunned, and it really put a damper on my week.  Well I guess we just have to face facts that much of America is ignorant, they don't actually learn about what they are voting for, and they just don't have a lick of sence about themselves.

Its not funny but we were laughing at different late night hosts heading to the streets asking random people questions about the candidates.  We couldn't believe the lack of knowledge, some people thought Ryan was Obama's running mate, that Sarah Palin was running again, that Bin Lauden was still alive, knew nothing about Bengazzi, someone even thought Mitt Romney was the black candidate.  Its not really funny, we laughed at the time, but we aren't laughing now.  I really could not see America re-electing him, I thought it would be close and still surprised by that, but I didn't expect a win. 

So anyway, its taken me about all week to get over my mood.  Now we just have to be tedious especially in two years in our Senate and House elections.  We lost the big seat, sadly my prediction is, society is already so fastly changing, that the Conservative will be rare and will be an outcast by the time that Obama's term is over, 8 straight years of this is going to create an avalance of liberals, immorality, abortions and Socialism, I'm going to spend much time praying but I really think that America really made a huge mistake.  We need to pray for the Republicans in the House and Senate, even if we don't like them, that they can hold off as much as they can.  Anyhow that's my soapbox post.  Anyway, tomorrow we are going to dinner for my birthday so I'll have pictures then.  The kids made me a cake, we had a nice dinner at home, but sadly the election put a major damper on things. 

We are the FAITHFUL!

This country is divided, basically in 1/2. If you look at the map of what states Romney won and what states Obama one, its completely split down the middle. Obama won the high electoral votes and got him the presidency, but Romney won much of the nation. We are a country divided. All day long watching the chatter, from the Dem side, everyone was rush to judge those saddened by the Obama win, really? Are they so high and mighty to admit if the tables were turned last evening they would all of a sudden fall in love with Romney? Respect is earned and this president has not earned our respect. He has shoved liberal mandates and agenda down our throats, people see strong Christians as intolerant. Where is the intolerance? Is it not themselves whom are so intolerant of a faithful people? This country was founded for religious freedom, yet we are to be stalemated into liberal agenda, and whom are the hypocrites? Are you Christian? Did you vo

te for Obama, I say to you that is the definition of hypocrisy. We must continue on, we must fight the good fight, we must keep electing those that carry our freedoms, and are willing to fight for them, we lost the big seat but we must continue working bottom up, since we lost top down. We must support our troops, leave no man behind, not allow cover ups, pray for those less fortunate and help them when we can. And we must continue to exercise our religious rights, live our faith, set the examples, show Our Lord our faithfulness despite what surrounds us, teach our children oh so important to teach our children, and push through these times with prayer and strength. I say to you dear friends, it is not in this life we receive our reward for a good life, so let us continue to fight the good fight, do our hard work, pray and set the examples to all men we are not intolerant, we are THE FAITHFUL!

Shame on America, absolute shame!

 This country is no longer blessed by God, and the rest of us suffer for it. Why would he bless us? Do we follow his commandments as a whole. Yes you do, and I do and many do, but as a whole, this country does not. We use his name in vain every chance we have; OMG is a household word now, used everyday, everyway in slang, all over our internet posts, we sleep in on Sundays because we worked hard all week, we commit adultery at a drop of a hat, we are not satisfied with our blessings we want more, more, more, we kill the unborn, we fornicate, we must be tolerant to those living in sin and the perversion that sex has become with same sex marriages. We allow our children to be indoctrinated at our schools, we turn our eyes when our college students have to write papers in favor of Liberal ideals, we walk out of the house 1/2 naked in the desire to be sexy. We steal from others, we kill each other, we swear at each other, we do not treat each other the way we would want to be treated, we gossip, we slander, we pass judgement. Yet we call ourselves a Christian nation, ran by a member of the Muslim brotherhood, wow we are just so smart, aren't we. Sadly its people like you, like me, like all those we are close to, that suffer, for this. People say, 4 more years? People need to wake up, with 8 straight years of this Liberal agenda shoved down our throats, the ideals of Conservatives, of God, of family, will be long gone by the majority by then. Already this morning the news casters are saying Republicans are going to have to make concessions, they are going to have to do what Crap-oma wants because he has all the flexibility he desires now and he is not a gracious man, he is a hardened arrogant and will use his win and the Senate wins to his full advantage.

Prayer for the Holy Souls

Prayers to say daily in November:

Lord we beseech Thee in the tenderness of Thy Great mercy to have pity upon the souls of thy servants.  Purge them from the defilements whereby they have been stained and give them inheritance in everlasting salvation.  O God who yearnest to save the souls of men and act eager to pardon, hear, we beseech Thee, the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Saints and grant our departed relatives and friends speedily to come unto repose without end and the blessed joys of heaven.

De Profundis
Out of the depths, I have cried to Thee, O Lord, Lord hear my voice.
     Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
If Thou, O Lord, shalt mark my iniquities.
O Lord, who shall stand it?
     For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord.
My sould hath relied on His word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
     From the morning watch even until night;; let Israel hope in the Lord. 
Because with the Lord there is mercy; and with him p lenteous redemption.
    And He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them:
May they rest in peace. Amen.

Before and After...

 

A long time ago, when Carolyn was little seemed at every friend gathering her and Chris would follow each other around, now here they are as teen agers, and they have become friends again.  Found these pictures, laying around....how  much you want to bet they won't be too thrilled I still have these.
