Birthday Greetings to you! May you have many more years serving God!

Many blessings to you old friend. Keeping you in prayer.

Treat every day as if it is your last day? Do you know that it is not? Ps 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Mt 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the...

Praying for you.

Amen! I believe that before people meet God, if they ever do, they are dead to God. Once a person does meet God, he will be shown the Way to Life, the Way to walk with and toward God and to overcome all of those attractions, which when followed would lead him away from God [to sin]. The...

Yes, indeed, How wonderful is that!

Did not all of us start as unclean beasts before we met Jesus? Pr 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: Pr 9:2 She hath killed her beasts...

How much does it cost us? Mt 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Mt 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Joseph had two sons, Ephraim and Manasses who Jacob effectively adopted as his sons, rather than as two grandsons here: Ge 48:5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they...

Thank God dear Sister for the man God brought together with you.

Praying with you.

In the Catholic Church I attended the Franciscan nuns did discourage personal Bible study during our catechism sessions. They did not forbid it. Whether they reflected the official policy of the Catholic Church at the time, I do not know. I am sure that after the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958...

It seems that with Vatican II [1962-1965] changes were instituted in the Catholic Church which included the beginning of the complete Bible reading now practiced during the time people are attending mass. I never personally saw this. I only realized that changes had occurred when I encountered a...
