What's up in Ye Old Catholic Church

1.  Thoughts on opening up churches,  https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/ncr-today/your-thoughts-reopening-churches-after-lockdown

 

 

 

From John Cade:

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son, "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car." The boy thought about that for a moment, decided, he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.After about six weeks his father said, "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut." The boy said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.

Dad’s reply:

 "Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went!"

True?     Inner Peace:

 If you can start the day without caffeine,

 If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

 If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

 If you can eat plain food every day and be grateful for it,

 If you can understand when you’re loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

 If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

 If you can conquer tension without medical help,

 If you can relax without liquor,

 If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

 

 See you, May 15,  2011
