Yesterday I began my weekend, with my plane ride to Jersey, Seton Hall University,
Yes that Youth Ministry Masters program:)
just because I'm not employed as a Youth Minister, does not mean that I am not a Youth Minister:)
I had time to reflect on my flight , and this is what I discovered:)
My life is the mission, what I do with it, is the adventure and how I do it is the dream. That single 55 minute flight was a greater education than any school final exam:)
Don't be pushed by your problems.
Be led by your dreams.-

Tuesday Dream
Commit yourself to a dream . . .
Nobody who tries to do something great but fails is a total failure.
Why?
Because he can always rest assured that he succeeded in life's most important battle--
he defeated the fear of trying.--Robert H. Schuller

Happy Monday:)
Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination,
allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff"
to turn our dreams into reality.--James Womack
Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so.--Belva Davis

smarts and looks:)
Back before he became an instantly recognized celebrity, when Albert Einstein was first making the rounds of the speaker's circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work. One night as they were driving to yet another rubber-chicken dinner, Einstein mentioned to his chauffeur that he was tired of speechmaking.
"I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said. "I've heard you give this speech so many times. I'll bet I could give it for you."
Einstein laughed loudly and said, "Why not? Let's do it!"
When they arrive at the dinner, Einstein donned the chauffeur's cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendition of Einstein's speech and even answered a few questions expertly. Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about anti-matter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody's fool.
Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, "Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that I will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me."
"I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said. "I've heard you give this speech so many times. I'll bet I could give it for you."

Gimpy is Back
Hello Smile buddies
Gimpy is back, yes, yesterday I went under the knife, and felt it:)
ok only one of the cuts, but the docs realized my scream and took care of it.
I will be using my sexy gimpy walk hopefully only for a few days, I have dusted off my cane and I have my weapon of choice back, especially for those crazy roaches.
Enormous Thanks to Quasi for the great soup and rice pudding,
the Mexican penicillin. The entire family and I ate the delicious
medicinal soup and felt great.
thanks for the prayers and special blessings.

true story:)
A young woman brought her daughter into Children's Hospital for a routine check up. On the records, the doctor saw that the child's first name was Urine (pronounced Youreen). Unable to contain her curiosity, the doctor asked the woman how her child came by such a "distinguished sounding" name. The woman explained, "Well, my baby was born premature and had to stay in the special nursery. She was really sick and they didn't know if she would make it, but the nurses said they would pray for her. I hadn't picked a name, but one day I came in and saw that the nurses had already given her one. There was this paper on her incubator that said 'Please save Urine,' so I knew that was the name of my baby."
where did you get your name?

A Big Smile:) for a Tuesday
What Religion is Your Bra?
A man walked into La Senza and shyly went up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife." "What type of bra?" asked the clerk. "Type?" inquired the man, "There's more than one type?" "Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from." Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied, "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?" Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them. The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple -- the Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts the fallen, the Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright, and the Baptist makes mountains out of mole hills!"
Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stand for, it is about time you became informed! {A} Almost Boobs...
{B} Barely there.
{C} Can't Complain!
{D} Dang!
{DD} Double dang!
{E} Enormous!
{F} Fake.
{G} Get a Reduction.
{H} Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up!

Remember why you are off today:)
Yesterday we spend a few hours with number 2 son, he was excited to have today off from work. He said he was talking about the day off and a girl at work did not know why it was a holiday,he told her it's the Kings birthday, the girl then replied, oh it's Elvis birthday Monday, I did not know that was a holiday:)
Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (Dec 1964)
I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.
Most of these people will never make the headlines and their names will not appear in Who's Who. Yet when years have rolled past and when the blazing light of truth is focused on this marvelous age in which we live -- men and women will know and children will be taught that we have a finer land, a better people, a more noble civilization -- because these humble children of God were willing to suffer for righteousness' sake.

My Space Watch out:)
I send this note to the pastor at 5, by 8 the site was gone from the internet:)
the power of a parents voice, never be afraid to speak the truth:)
remember THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE:)
so the site hhtp does not work any longer:)
This is it, please pay attention to the invitations your children get from friends:)
I have send a note to the pastor I am sure he does not know this is going on:) and will take care of this soon.
I am posting this blog because I think it's important for a parents to be aware of things that go on in this parish. My son Brendan recieved an invitation to join the SNAC My space http://www.myspace.com/st_teresa_aug
as a parent I check things out before my minor child participates in any Internet activity. as I look at this site it is very offensive and is not representing our parish and our teens correctly, when you go to the site scroll down and you will see SNAC friends comments the first photo for today, 12 Jan is Regina,
first the photo, a girl licking Regina's belly,
second her friend's comments: I have cut and paste it
/1/2006 11:50:00 AM happy new year to you too bitch!!! last night was so much fun!!!! here's to partying like rock stars, looking like movie stars, and fucking like porn stars!!! i love you G!

12/23/2005 3:17:00 PM hey anig!! im the first one to put a comment on your myspace. im glad you finally pit some pictures up even though i hate that picture of me showing my tongue ring next to your belly button ring. well you are calling my cell phone right now. so peace!!
our young people are our greatest asset and we cannot risk losing any more families from our church, because of things that are not considered appropriate for our teens. if any other teens are getting this invitation, this will give them a wrong impression of our church. please help us preserve our reputation as the best church in town. I am by far not the most Conservative parent, but I am very concern with my child's faith journey and will do what it takes to get him what he needs, right now this is not on his list of activities because of the negative role models this portrays.

A mother has two boys that are always bad and causing trouble. She takes her two sons to the pastor of the church so he can have a talk with them. The pastor leaves one in the hall and has the other come into his office to talk. To get a conversation going he calmly asks the boy, "where is God?" The boy bolts out of the office, into the hall, and yells to his brother, "God's missing and they think we did it."

Kids make me Smile
A Elementary Class Teacher tell us:
I was handing out directions on how to make something.
I can not even remember now what it was.
One little boy turned to the kid next to him and he said---
"I love it when Mrs. Towell hands out erections.":)

This is to all the strong women I know:)
A Strong Woman - Verses - A Woman of Strength
A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape . . .
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.
A strong woman is not afraid of anything . . .
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear.
A strong woman will not let anyone get the best of her . . .
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone.
A strong woman walks sure footedly . . .
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls.
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face . . .
but a woman of strength wears grace.
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey . . . but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Men make us Smile
man traveling by plane and in urgent need to use the mens room is nervously tapping his foot on the floor of the aircraft. Each time he tried the mens room door, it was 'OCCUPIED'. The stewardess, aware of his predicament suggested that he go ahead and use the ladies room, but cautioned him against using any of the buttons inside. The buttons were marked 'WW, WA, PP and ATR'.Making the mistake that so many men make in disregarding the importance of what a woman says, the man let his curiosity get the best of him and decided to try the buttons anyway.He carefully pressed the first button marked 'WW' and immediately warm water sprayed all over his entire bottom. He thought, 'WOW, the women really have it made!'. Still curious, he pressed the button marked 'WA' and a gentle breeze of warm air quickly dried his hind quarters. He thought that was out of this world! The button marked 'PP' yielded a large powder puff which delicately applied a soft talc to his rear. Well, naturally he couldn't resist the last button marked 'ATR'.When he woke up in the hospital he panicked and buzzed for the nurse. When she appeared, he cried out, 'What happened to me?! The last thing I remember is I was in the ladies room on a business trip!' The nurse replied, 'Yes, you pressed the 'ATR' button which stands for Automatic Tampon Remover... Your penis is under your pillow!'

little girl and a little boy were at day care one day. The girl approaches the boy and says, "Hey Tommy, want to play house?"
He says, "Sure! What do you want me to do?"
The girl replies, "I want you to communicate your feelings."
"Communicate my feelings?" said a bewildered Tommy. "I have no idea what that means."
The little girl smirks and says, "Perfect. You can be the husband

SMILE:)
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Johnny was standing and staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.The young man of seven had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up and stood beside him. Gazing up at the plaque, too, he said quietly, 'Good morning son.''Good morning pastor' replied the young man, not taking his eyes off the plaque. 'Sir, what is this?' Johnny asked.'Well son, these are all the people who have died in the service,' replied the pastor. Soberly, they stood together staring up at the large plaque.Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when he asked quietly, 'Which one sir, the 8:30 or the 10:30 service?'
