I'm Back !

OK then, I am here and in a better mood then I was in the last blog, it is just some things really get me down. With the help of the Lord I don't stay down though, and I am up and running.
Every one here is doing OK. I am back to myself. I am looking forward to spring my best time of year. I went to the doctors last week and had some blood work done. I have been in a lot of pain lately, probably like a lot of you. My Doctor recommended the blood work. She said we need to check my blood levels. I suggest some of you who are suffering do so. Just like she said my vitamin D is very low. I didn't think they (pain and vitamin D) were related. So she now has me on 2000 mg. Of vitamin D and she also added 2000 mg. of fish oil for my cholesterol. It is just a little high and at the age of 60 soon to be 61, I should take it so I may be able to say away from cholesterol pills. Hopefully it will do the trick . My Doctor tries to stay away from drugs and will check it out in three months to see if it is working. I Just thought I would share that bit with you. Who knows may be it will help one or two of you.
I also have some animals they are Gokoo my dog, excuse the eyes we were playing around .Jack is my cat born under my bed, and Laurel and Hardy the birds.




Believe you me , They are the best cure for any thing that ails you. They make you laugh all the time. Give so much love and ask nothing in return.
I am rambling on a little today Oh well God be with you all and Keep your faith up and Pray for all bye till next time.

UP DATES

Just a little up date on Father Ned, he is doing better, in rehab for a while but getting better everyday . He can't wait till tomorrow.
All our prays need to be said to help Japan right now. I can't imagine what I would do in that same scenario. God Please Help all Of Japan's people recover from that disaster.
All here in Lodi are fine I hope. As every where no jobs , no money and at the risk of sounding bleak No future . Not as I would love to see happen . I was born in the Fifty's. My years seem to be happy one's until Vietnam. It seems to me that,that war brought a lot of misery,Drugs and bad news . It also seems to me it will never end! Every where you look drugs and more drugs. Which lead to robbery , muggings and murder. I don't think I will write any more today . Sorry, I will write again later on. Can you feel my hurt?

About Father Ned and his Fall

Father Ned is a wonderful Man such Patience's . I went to church on and off again all my life when I was thirty I started much more often Tried to get my husband to go with me but he would only go on Christmas and other holidays. But before he died he was baptized and came to the Lord and I thank God and his glory for that.But getting to Father Ned, We have had such terrible rain this past week and with all the snow the river was raging. Behind our church a bridge was built so people could cross and or fish . Father Ned, Father Ron and the maintenance man went out to check the bridge (to assure its safety) and low and behold Father Ned some how went head first over the bridge. twenty five feet , well the maintenance man not being a young man either jumped in to help Father Ned God Blesss him. He held Father Ned's head high so he wouldn't drown. The other Priest ran and called 911 The Fire department rescued them . It took 45 minutes in that cold freezing water.Father Ned suffered two breaks in his leg, one of witch was compound and a broken wrist cuts and abrasons and a big bad chill. The maintence man was a little banged up and freezing but other wise ok. Just has to watch for a cold. My thanks to The maintenance man and Father Ron for their parts in helping our beloved priest. A big thank you to the Fire department for the rescue. Please Pray for them all to heal. Thank you for your prayers.

Here's a little about Father Ned:




Father Ned was ordained May 31, 1969. His first assignment was as Associate Pastor of St. Charles Parish in Parma, Ohio. In June of 1974 he was assigned to studies in Rome. He obtained his doctorate in Canon Law in June 1977. His doctoral dissertation was entitled: “Alcoholism and Marriage: An Inquiry Into the Effect of Alcoholism on Matrimonial Consent.” Father Ned served in diocesan administration from 1977 to 1986. During those years he served as Chancellor, Secretary for Clergy and Religious, and Delegate for the Clergy. He was appointed pastor of St. Leo the Great Parish in Cleveland, Ohio in January 1986 and served there until July 1997 when he was assigned as Member of the Pastoral Team at Our Lady Help of Christians Parish, Litchfield, Ohio.

Father Ned was raised in Rocky River, Ohio as the oldest of 7 children. He was educated at St. Christopher Elementary School, Rocky River High School (1960), John Carroll University and Borromeo College (1965), St. Mary Seminary (1969), and the Pontifical Lateran University – Rome, Italy (1977).

Father Ned has found his 12 years of ministry at OLHC to be very fulfilling and rewarding. OLHC could be considered as the original cluster of the diocese. The Team shares authority as it cooperates and collaborates in meeting the pastoral needs of the parishioner.
