Rosie! You've come to it at last.
Me on the other hand...I'm wondering if it's healthy that my first thought is of semiautomatic weapons ~every time~ I drive into the parking garage...
I was gonna change my tagline for April Fools Day. But with the news coming from Rome, perhaps it should stay for a while.
News is the one thing that may keep me here today. With no TV, limited radio, and no internet at home...it's been hard.
In a way, I almost don't want to follow things closely. But not knowing is even harder.
The most astounding time was when Paul VI died and John Paul I became Pope. We were living in Tallahassee at the time, and it was before we had kids, so I was working. I remember, about a month after JPI became Pope, I came in to work, having picked up the newspaper at the front door on the way in. I opened it and saw the headline "Pope Dies". I thought someone had left an old newspaper for us! I was stunned when I realized that it was JPI! I was even MORE stunned a couple of weeks later when I heard the name of the new Pope, and he wasn't an Italian!
We've been so blessed by God with this Pope, but when he goes home, I know God will send the man we need for these tough times.
