Pray for My Friend

I experienced one of those very difficult moments we encounter in life today.  I recently learned that an old friend of mine is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.  I visited one of the local elder care facilities where he is a resident and I was shocked by the toll this dreaded affliction has taken on him.  He is several months younger than I (59 years old) and is a shell of his former self.  He was bent over in a wheel chair and I don't know that he was even aware of my presence. My heart goes out to him and his family during this very difficult time.  He and his wife have been together since we were in high school.  They were married one week after my wife and I were married and I was an usher in their wedding.  I pray for them God's grace, mercy and love.

Another Tsk, Tsk Moment

Some things I will never understand.......

I'm browsing through Facebook this morning and come across a post from a friend who is a fellow believer in my local parish.  Their post is the daily horoscope.  Why would a Christian even read a horoscope, much less publish it on Facebook?
