God Bless Our Troops

Tuesday, July 7, 2009 - Happy Birthday, Beeps!

Well, here I sit in the Grand Rapids airport waiting to board for my first flight ever. I think the thing that was stressing me out was the packing and check-in process. So far everything has gone well. I am actually able to connect here in the airport. I couldn't get it to work yesterday. I don't know how often I'll be able to get on during the trip, but for now I'm golden. :)





Tuesday of the Fourteenth week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Pantaenus, Father of the Church, (+ c. 216)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 9:32-38.


As they were going out, a demoniac who could not speak was brought to him, and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel." But the Pharisees said, "He drives out demons by the prince of demons." Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."

Up, Up and Away! I love flying. I always think of take off as a small glimpse of what the Rapture will be like. :) God Bless and have fun!
