Thought for the day:

"Give me grace to amend my life, and to have an eye to mine end, without grudge of death, which to them that die in thee,
good Lord, is the gate of a wealthy life."
St. Thomas More

THREE THINGS

"Three things are necessary for the salvation of man; to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do."
St. Thomas Aquinas

Rights of Man?

"The people have heard quite enough about what are called the 'rights of man'. Let them hear about the rights of God for once". Pope Leo XIII Tamesti future, Encyclical

Eternity

All souls owe their eternity to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, many have turned their back to him.

Ready to go again

Early in the year I bought a reconditioned snow blower for a very reasonable price. Well, imagine my surprise this week to find out that it does not like to work in cold weather, just like me! It starts just fine, but dies out very quickly; also like me.
I took it back to the dealer, who, not only took it back, but gave me what I paid for it, and accepted my condition that I upgrade, which I wanted. And, just when all of the smaller ones were sold out, someone called to cancel the one she ordered. I quickly said that I would take it. And, to make it even sweeter, I received an unexpected bonus(since I'm retired) from my retiree benefits foundation (GM). This was great because I didn't have to dig into any savings for it. Bonus day! Now, I have to search for some warmer longies. I think that the refrigerator shrunk my current pair.
