TODAY'S QUOTE

With God on our side who can be against us?

St.Paul's letter to the Romans 8:31

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

The weather has really turned colder and it’s supposed to stay this way all week. It was a busy day at work but I got almost everything done so it wasn’t too bad for having 2 days off.

My mom got the results of her CAT scan on Monday and it shows a tumor attached to her pancreas. They will do a biopsy on Monday. She seems in good spirits and that is important right now. I’ll be going out on Friday evening to stay the night with them and then give my sister a break on Saturday.

Take good care all !

Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS...THE IDES (middle) OF MARCH DAY

Are the Ides of March unlucky? Well, they were for Julius Ceasar when he got to the steps of the Senate. But... that's Shakespeare. The word "ides" simply means middle, so we can have the Ides of May, the Ides of July, or even the Ides of Chocolate Pudding. There's nothing unlucky about it - unless you're Ceasar. In that case, watch your back.

Walking down the street, a man passes a house and notices a child trying to reach the doorbell. No matter how much the little guy stretches, he can't make it. The man calls out, "Let me get that for you," and he bounds onto the porch to ring the bell.
