Superstition
Looks like we have a Friday the 13th showing up next week in this month of Jan. So do we have any Catholic people out there who still allows themselves to be swayed any by this particular event? Perhaps there or other old wives tales that may still come forth from time to time. Chime…

Merry Christmas Everyone!
It’s now the day after Christmas and all through the house… There’s STUFF and bits and wrapping paper! Though we didn’t go too overboard this year, it was still too much I think. As a kid I used to so look forward to Christmas. Not long ago I dreaded it. I couldn’t stand the commercialization…
