    Wisdom 9: Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends?  For the deliberations of mortals are timid,  and unsure are our plans.

    Philemon: Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord.

    Luke 14: Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

    Leo, wake up, you are missing another great homily.

     

    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!
