Website for Posting Videos

Check out this neat website:  www.viewpure.com

View Pure is amazing if you want to view a video without having to see all the negative ads, suggestions, and comments on youtube.  It is especially nice if you want to send a video to a friend through an email without unintentionally sending them something trashy.  Try it out!  I find it very helpful.

Political Responsibility

Please visit www.politicalresponsibility.com/index.htm for voter guides and resourses to share with others before this upcoming Election on November 6th.  Remember, our first, unalienable right as stated in the Declaration of Independance: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (www.foundingfathers.info).  Let us never forget the unborn American Children's right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!  Again, please pray for God's Holy Will to be done this November!  May God Bless America!

Nellie Grey and Neil Armstrong

Please keep Nellie Grey, founder and President of the March for Life, and Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon (July 20, 1969), in your prayers.  Nellie Grey died on August 13, 2012 at the age of 88 and Neil Armstrong died yesterday, August 25, 2012, at the age of 82. 

Summer of 2012

I know...I'm bad...I say I like blogging, but never keep up with it...oh well...

I do enjoy it when I get around to it.

This summer has been very enjoyable.  Work has been going very well.  I enjoy going to work and it gets me out of the house (not that home is annoying in any way).  I've went out with friends, did some spiritual reading (I am slowly reading a book called Catholic Life, published by Neumann Press), enjoyed some piano music (the tunes of Music of the Night and My Heart Will Go On sound great on the piano!), saw the Avengers in theaters, got to see a friend visiting from out-of-state, went to the county fair (I may post pictures), went on a 14 mile bike ride and took a train back, drove to a friends house who lives 3 and a half hours away, ate at an amazing Chinese/Japanese buffet with a friend and tried sushi for the first time (it was so delicious!!!), and I'm sure there is so much more that's not coming to me right now.

Anyone care to share how their summer went? 


Oh yes, and starting now, I'm going to try and share a prayer every once in a while.  I really want to keep my blog going and I thought that posting prayers or even nice poems once in a while would be a nice way of doing that.  

Happy Easter!

Jesus Christ is Risen today!  Alleluia!

Happy Easter one and all!

I hope it is a truly joyful and blessed one!

May God bless you today and everyday!

OctoberBaby

Hello there!  A few days ago, I saw an amazing movie!  It is called OctoberBaby and I highly recommend it!  I won't tell you to much about it so as not to spoil the movie for you.  I'll will say that is was a truly touching prolife movie.  At times it made you want to cry and at times smile and even laugh.  Here is the link to the website with the trailer and more information.  www.octoberbabymovie.net.
Again, it was an excellent movie and I would most definitely try to watch it especially while it is still in theaters!  There aren't many movies like this one out there and we should indeed show our support!

A Beautiful Prayer

Today, I am going to share a prayer I love to say often.

            Christ, thou who art the light and day,

Who chasest nightly shades away,

Thyself the Light of Light confessed,

And promiser of radiance blest:

O holy Lord, we pray to thee,

Throughout the night our guardian be;

In thee vouchsafe us to repose,

All peaceful till the night shall close.

O let our eyes due slumber take,

Our hearts to thee forever wake:

And let thy right hand from above

Shield us who turn to thee in love.

O strong defender, hear our prayers,

Repel our foes and break their snares,

And govern thou thy servants here,

Those ransomed with thy life-blood dear.

Almighty Father, this accord

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord,

Who with the Holy Ghost and thee

Doth reign through all eternity.

It's Lent

Hello there!
I know...I haven't posted in the longest time.  I missed Christmas and New Year's...and now it's Lent...oops...oh well...

My life has been absolutely wonderful the past 3 months!  Work is going very well (I now have an additional task at work.  I am now the Parish website updater!), and the weather has been absolutely beautiful!  I can't believe the winter we are having!  We only had about 3 or 4 major snow falls and the snow melted a few days afterwards.  Spring begins March 20th!  Yesterday, I enjoyed reading "Emma" by Jane Austen outside. =]

So today, I will share this video of one of my all time favorite music artists, MercyMe, singing "Baby" (by Justin Beiber).  It's funny.

Thanksgiving is Coming Up!

Sorry once again for not being as active as I wish.  

Who is excited for Thanksgiving?  
I must say it is one of my all time favorite holidays.  My dad and sister will run a race on Thanksgiving morning.  The proceeds help support of the homeless people in our area.  Preparing for the big dinner is enjoyable.  I love playing bluegrass music as I set the table.  I enjoy watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  Of course the meal is wonderful!  My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is the turkey, gravy, mashed potatos and cranberry sauce.  Trying a little of all four in one bite is heavenly!  And spending time with family and friends is the best part of the day.  This year, three cousins from out-of-state are coming for Thanksgiving.  I haven't seen them in about 11 years, so I'm very excited to see them again.  
I'm very thankful for all the pleasures God sends when Autumn arrives!
So what do you love about Thanksgiving Day?

God bless!
