Here is an important News Flash!Every day is meant to be the very best day of our life! And we do need to remember just how very precious that All Life really is! Here is something to stop & reflect on and to seriously think about:Our God is Awesome! The Spirit Is Worshipped! -------------------------- 2nd Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into His likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. -------------------- One question that bugged the early Christians was whether it was proper to worship the Holy Spirit. He is, so to speak, the quietest Person of the Trinity, always at work somewhere "within" or just at the the corner of our eye. Christian imagery has never given us an easy and obvious picture to grasp like those of the Father or the Son. It's hard to tell from the Biblical Imagery (wind, fire, water,the occasional dove) whether the Spirit is even a person. Early Church Fathers wrestled with the question of whether He was a mere "force" or some other impersonal thing, but were always constrained (by verses like today's verses) from giving in to mere picture-thinking. The Lord, says St. Paul, is the Spirit. Moreover, the Spirit is a "Who" not a "what." And since the Lord is to be worshipped, the Lord who is the Spirit is to be worshipped. Today, Worship the Holy Spirit. The Saints of the Church have always reminded us: "Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me but I was outside and it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you. Created things kept me from you; yet if they had not been in You, they would not have been at all. You called, you shouted, you broke through my deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness..." From the Confessions of St. Augustine 
A vision of Heaven
As Dale McKay was facing death, he spoke to writer Nancy Schertzing about his feelings and his hopes for heaven. Later, Nancy spoke with Dale’s widow, Ellen, who shared the joy of their marriage and the moving experience of Dale’s death. Their story is filled with love and hope that speaks to all of us. In the Know with Father Joe Dear Fr. Joe: What is a mortal sin? If I commit one, do I automatically go to hell? Three Myths about Online Dating A week doesn’t go by without several newspapers writing about the expanding use of online dating services. Millions of single people have, and many more millions will, use at least one online dating site in 2005. Despite the increased societal acceptance, several myths continue to persist. Myth #3: Meeting someone... Danny's Magic Drawings “But it’s just a picture,” said Danny. He sat on the sidewalk in front of his house. Green and purple sidewalk chalk smudged his face and t-shirt.
