GOD AND
COMMON SENSE
Quote of the Day: March 26, 2010
"I don't know why it is that the religious never ascribe common sense to God."
W. Somerset Maugham [1874-1965]

ANNUNCIATION
Quote of the Day - Feast of the Annunciation - March 25, 2010
"In Marian piety,
the role of the Trinity
and of Christ
should clearly be seen
as essential and intrinsic.
And this
because Christian worship
is essentially worship of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit,
or as the liturgy says,
worship of the Father
through the Son
in the Holy Spirit.
In the case of Mary,
everything is related to Christ and everything depends on him.
It was because of the part
she was to playin the life of Christ
that the Father
chose her from all eternity
as the mother full of grace
and adorned her
with gifts of the Spirit
granted to no other."
Pope Paul VI

SIDEWAYS
Sideways conversations ….
When they become our regular conversations,
then is it time to say this relationship
is over – or it needs an overhaul?
You’re telling me you cleaned the bathroom
and swept the garage – and emptied the
dishwasher. Why don’t you just say
you’re angry because you think you’re doing
all the work and I’m doing nothing?
That’s sideways conversations.
This is straight out with it conversation.
So right now tell me what are really
feeling about all this? Talk to me!

NEVER WAS # 1
Rejected, not elected,
didn’t get enough votes
that day, but I tried ….
Nobody called,
so I guess I didn’t get the job.
Forgot mom’s birthday.
A call would have made a difference,
even though my sister is her favorite.
Came in 48th out of 89 in the race –
not that bad, not that good….
And Pilate gave the crowd a choice.
Whom to release: Barabbas or Jesus?
And the crowd screamed for Barabbas.
Sometimes it’s going to be a long
day when you come in second place.
