Lord, give me patience, and I want it RIGHT NOW! ;o)
Now THAT is a sermon I would really like to hear, drby!
How's your precious baby girl doing? Sleeping any better?
She's a little red X?
LOL! I say that to my mom ALL the time!
Amen...bringing it back to the heart of what's important.
It's not about us, after all.
Many prayers coming your way Seamus! Many.
And hello. Good to see ya!
Actually, she has been sleeping since just before noon. I fully expect her to wake up starving any minute now.
Ya'll talked a lot whilst I was mowin! Gotta catch up later. Time to go to Waco so I can meet up with PQ tonight!
PQ, if you're watching - I'm leaving now. Gotta run by Compass and then *if I have time* pick up a couple of things for Aunt Cheryl at Wally World. Will be at your house between 6 and 6:30. Have cell phone.
WOW! That is a nice long nap! She'll be ravenous when she wakes up, that's for sure.
But it is VEY nice for Mommy and Daddy to be able to hang out with grown-ups for a little bit too, even if it's just online. :-)
Alyson just turned 2 this past Sunday and she still only sleeps from 11pm to 8am. Other than that, it's the Energizer bunny all day long.
You're one of them, too? I guess because I was only in my early teens when the altar rails were first removed and we went to the English language Mass, it didn't bother me too much. What I'VE been horrified by is the watering down of Church teaching over the last 30 years by feminist nuns and 'relevant' priests, which I believe directly resulted in the abuse problems that have been publicized the past year. (Can you tell this bothers me? LOL!)
Anyway, the old externals hold no fascination for me, whether the placement of the Altar, or the language used, because the important part of Mass itself does not change. As for the music, I love Gregorian chant, medieval polyphony, the Oxford Hymnal, and contemporary Praise and Worship. I think it's important to make a joyful noise to Praise Jesus, no matter how its done!
I guess that the liturgical changes bother me more because I was in my 30's when most of themk happenned, too late to accept changes easily.
The scandals of course are nightmarish, as is the toleration of obvious heresies -- this is rather a cause and effect situation as I look at it.
Bye All!!
Happy belated b-day Alyson!!
Bye LCS! Hope to see you again soon!
AWWWWWWWWW!!
*reminds himself to get some new Autumn pics to share!*
Yes, most definitely!
I'm headed out the door in a few minutes here, so I'll be back later!
Say "hi" to your family for me, Seamus! I'm soooo happy you came by after such a long absence!
ecurbh kinda shrugs and changes the subject: "Say.... what's that over there?"
Gettin' in the plane.... a pic that still had Gidget before they took her away to calm her down...
