Wow. It's been a long time since I last posted!!
I am doing OK, hanging in there as I frequently say lately. I GREATLY appreciate all the prayers and hope you don't tire of keeping me in your intentions. Thank you all very much...I've received many well wishes and am very grateful for all your kind thoughts and prayers!!
Secondly, please keep my husband's uncle in your prayers. He isn't supposed to make it through the day - he's dying of emphysema. May God have mercy on him.
UPDATE: Uncle Doug passed away early Saturday morning. Please pray for the repose of his soul.
Lastly, Vincenzo, a dear albeit insane friend, nominated me for a Cannonball award. Last year I was nominated in Best Underappreciated Blog. This year, V nominated me in the category of Best Blog in Need of Updating, or some such thing. The Crescat is still taking nominations until May 1. After that, let 'er rip and vote...you can even vote for my blog in this back-handed compliment category...if anyone is still reading my blog after my long absence *sigh* Sorry for being scarce. Discerning whether or not I can, or even desire, to keep blogging.
Oh, and check out the above blogs...and nominate your favorites...and then make sure you vote early and often!!! At least this year no one can use "Father Z wins everything" as an excuse...seems he's been banned for being too popular...to have such problems....

"Even suffering is part of the truth of our life. Thus, trying to shield the youngest from every difficulty and experience of suffering, we risk creating, despite our good intentions, fragile persons of little generosity: The capacity to love, in fact, corresponds to the capacity to suffer, and to suffer together." ~Benedict XVI

Words of Father Corapi, for all my politician friends and relatives and those who vote for them
"Catholic office holders, whether presidents, senators, congress men or women, or judges at any level must adhere to Catholic teaching or run the risk of separating themselves from the Body of Christ. In such egregious and chronic cases of gross moral evil such as instituting and perpetuating abortion and the structures of sin that surround it, it is quite probable that such Catholic officials are excommunicated in virtue of the acts themselves. A latae sententiae (automatic) excommunication is likely triggered when they vote for laws, funding, and structures that enable and perpetuate such obvious and egregious evil (Cf. Code of Canon Law, Canons 1364,1398; Canon 1329, par. #2). They are in turn forbidden from approaching the sacraments as the result (Cf. Catechism of Catholic Church #1463)."
"It is not morally possible for any Catholic to support abortion, euthanasia, fetal stem cell research, human cloning, or same-sex marriage. There are no ways around this, no justifications whatever. Why? For the simple reason that the Church holds these things to be intrinsically evil. They are evil in themselves, and no circumstances or subjective conditions can ever change that."
