Amazingly, I'm at peace with the Pope's death. He lived a good long, full life and died as he wanted to, at home and in his bed. They left the windows in his apartment open so he could hear the people in St. Peter's Square praying the Rosary for him. How good is that?

I have faith that God will send the Holy Spirit down upon the Cardinals and they will make the right decision for the Church.

But, thanks for the prayers.

Good! I am glad to hear it. Though I'm sure you don't mind a few prayers on your behalf anyway.

I have one very dear friend who has been concerned about this for some time. She's only been Christian for about three years - gosh, time flies! I've known her for more than five years though we haven't actually met. And she's been very conflicted about this. So I hope I get a chance to talk to her next week - we have a mutual arrangement where we share with each other all the deep spiritual ideas and concerns that we have and that nobody else in our lives wants to hear. (Well, her hubby likes to hear her but she tries things out on me first)

Dad took these pictures at the beach house the other day.

To see a bald eagle at the beach house is fairly common, circling high overhead, fishing. To see one land and perch on your dock is pretty rare... and to have it happen when you have time to find the camera and capture it, even rarer!

As a size reference, the cap rail that he has his talons around is a 2x6.

So do I. But I have no faith in the political liberals and CINOs. They're already writing "think pieces" on how the Catholic Church needs a "21st century" Pope to "modernize" the Church in areas like women priests, gay-lesbian-trnagendered, abortion, divorce, birth control, gaia-worship, and wealth distribution. You'll see a tsunami of these articles right after the funeral.
