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

Cowboy Cole on a special mission, collecting the books. Ask Cheryl.

Revelation 11:  A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.

1 Corinthians 15:  Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Luke 1:  When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

Love is the value that trumps all others — truth, equality, even justice. “At the evening of life,” John of the Cross writes, “we shall be judged on our love.”  And the reason is obvious.
