J.S.

Acts 12:  Suddenly the angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shone in the cell.  He tapped Peter on the side and awakened him, saying, “Get up quickly.”

2 Timothy 4:  The Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed and all the Gentiles might hear it.

Matthew 16: He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”  Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.

Remember the old saying, “Two men looked out through prison bars/ One saw mud, the other saw stars”? Well, Abraham Lincoln put it this way: “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

True?

I just discovered my age group! I am a Seenager. (Senior teenager)  

I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50-60 years later. 

I don't have to go to school or work

I get an allowance every month.

I have my own pad. 

I don't have a curfew. 

I have a driver's license and my own car.

 I have ID that gets me into bars and the wine store. I like the wine store best.

The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant, they aren't scared of anything, they have been blessed to live this long, why be scared?

And I don't have acne.     Life is Good!
