Went to visit a teen in college so the movies we saw this week:

'Night Watch'- 1st movie in a Russian vampire, night creature trilogy only limited release....B quality movie only worth renting if you are into that sort of thing.

'Slither'- B monster movie that was suppose to be a funny spoof on old B monster movies and does not come even close to pulling it off like 'Mars Attacks' does for the old alien movies. Only rent if you must.

'Ice Age II'- great, the only movie I did not waste my money on this week.

DVD seen this week:

'Howle's Moving Castle'- Japanese anime taken from a kids book, not bad if you like fairy tales or Japanese anime.

'Doom'- O.K. if you want lots of action, tons of blood and gore and a killer monsters.

'We Were Soldiers' was watched by my husband and an other son, which they loved.

Hey Canteeners and Our Troops ! Be careful out there !!

I highly recommend seeing the Movie *King Kong*. It came out on DVD a few months ago.

I was pleasantly surprised it was so good. They really took a lot from the original movie made back in the 30's (or 40's?) which is my favorite. The graphics were really fantastic.

Thanks Beachy for reminding me to post here.

I had gotten so busy but contemplate Our Troops continuously. They need to know it !

God Bless America....

...In case you all have not already seen this...

Subject:  take the time  
TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS THEN OPEN THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM.
 
    The elderly parking lot attendant wasn't in a good mood!
   
    Neither was Sam Bierstock. It was around 1 a.m., and Bierstock, a Delray 
 Beach , Fla. , eye doctor, business consultant, corporate speaker and
    musician, was bone tired after appearing at an event.
   
    He pulled up in his car, and the parking attendant began to speak.
   "I took  two bullets for this country and look what I'm doing," he said bitterly.
   
   At first, Bierstock didn't know what to say to the World War II veteran.
 But he rolled down his window and told the man, "Really, from the 
 bottom of my heart, I want to thank you."
   
   Then the old soldier began to cry.
   
   "That really got to me," Bierstock says.
   
   Cut to today.
   
   Bierstock, 58, and John Melnick, 54, of Pompano Beach - a member of
 Bierstock's band, Dr. Sam and the Managed Care Band - have written a song 
 inspired by that old soldier in the airport parking lot. The mournful"
 Before You Go" does more than salute those who fought in WWII. It
 encourages people to go out of their way to thank the aging warriors.
   
   "If we had lost that particular war, our whole way of life would have
 been shot," says Bierstock, who plays harmonica. . I thought we needed 
 to thank them."
 
    The song is striking a chord. Within four days of Bierstock placing
   it on  the Web, the song and accompanying photo essay have bounced around
    nine countries, producing tears and heartfelt thanks from veterans,
    their sons and daughters and grandchildren.
    "It made me cry," wrote one veteran's son. Another sent an e-mail
    saying that only after his father consumed several glasses of wine would
 he discuss "the unspeakable horrors" he and other soldiers had witnessed
 in places such as Anzio, Iwo Jima, Bataan and Omaha Beach. "I can never
 thank them enough," the son wrote. "Thank you for thinking about them."
   
   Bierstock and Melnick thought about shipping it off to a
 professional singer maybe a Lee Greenwood type, but because time was running out
 for so many veterans, they decided it was best to release it quickly, for 
 free, on the Web.! They've sent the song to Sen. John McCain and others in
 Washington.
    Already they have been invited to perform it in Houston for a
 Veterans Day tribute - this after just a few days on the Web. They hope every
 veteran in America gets a chance to hear it.
   
   GOD BLESS every EVERY veteran... and THANK you to those of you 
 veterans who may receive this !

Hope it's OK if I post this little reflection and story and prayer for Holy Thursday.

Thursday of Holy Week

"But if I washed your feet...then you must wash each other’s feet." (John 13:14)

Reflection.

In April of 1945 American artillery in the town of Siegburg, Germany, was shelling a nearby village, in which there were about 20 German soldiers. The natives were in constant danger of being hit by bullets from either side. Toward evening of April 12 the people persuaded the German soldiers to cease fire. Next morning the village priest carried a white flag to the American outpost to inform the commander that the German soldiers had gone and the civilian population had no desire to resist further. Instructions were given to fly white flags from all the houses. The question uppermost in the minds of the towns-people was: How will the Americans treat us?
They had heard terrible tales of cruelty on the part of the Russians. How would these conquerors act?
The Americans began a thorough search for weapons and German soldiers. Two soldiers armed with pistols came to a certain three- room home. They stopped short in the living room before a hand- carved family altar. Into the bedroom they went, to find there a beautiful crucifix. The soldiers noticed the cross. They stopped, took off their steel helmets, changed their automatics from right hand to left, and respectfully made the sign of the cross.
As a member of the family related, the members of that household feared no longer. Yes, the sign of the cross is the salute of the true follower of Christ whether he is conqueror or conquered, whether he is German, Chinese, American or Australian. It is the countersign of the Christian. In particular, it is the special salute of the Catholic.

Lenten Fact
  Those who are impeded from visiting a church, during the Stations Of The Cross, may gain indulgences by piously reading and meditating on the passion and death of our Lord for one-half hour. The continued importance of the stations in the devotional life of Catholics is attested by both Pope Paul VI, who approved a Gospel-based version of the stations in 1975, and Pope John Paul II, who has also written his own version.


Lenten Action.

Imagine what it would feel like, if your loved one was  taken to prison without due cause. Imagine how the apostles felt as Jesus was carried away.

Prayer

Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit you anointed your only Son Messiah and Lord of creation; you have given us a share in his consecration to priestly service in your Church. Help us to be faithful witnesses in the world to the salvation Christ won for all mankind. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
