In Todays Times

A Few Tips are needed. What can I say. Plenty! Listen we all must do what we must so here are a few tips , find some others who work in your area and share your ride it is easier for four people to pay to fill the tank then one. With the prices of gas please carpool.Take turns. One tank it is my turn the next Barb's turn the next tank Tim's. But not only with work plan your trips with your neighbors for shopping or any other trips you make. These are examples. Also water must be spared, When brushing your teeth don't let the water run down the drain , turn the water on and off as you need it . I knew one girl who filled a glass of water and brushed with it , sticking her tooth brush in and out of the glass of water and when showering get in wash well and get out . I know it feels so good to just stand there but again in today's times every dime saved is a dime to be spent on gas. Another way to save energy is to turn off the lights if they are not needed. Use the new bulbs I can't tell you how much money I have saved by doing these few things. I hope this helps to bring down some of the worries out there. We can take our old clothing and make blankets out of them. Please times are hard. I know ! Help each other and love as Jesus has taught us to do. Watch the middle east as the Lord is working his miracles. There will be plenty.God bless and be ready for the Lord. Make your peace with God except Jesus Christ as your savior. Please if anyone reads this and wants to share a savig tip I would love to hear them. Thanks

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.

Its time all people stood up for thier rights.

OK let us talk,one sided I am afraid . I am proud of all people that try to work with their Governments of that region where ever it is. If you don't like what is being done a peaceful Demonstration should be done without fear.I give Egypt's people a lot of credit. I do pray they are doing it for the right reasons. Iraq, and all over the middle east needs to have peace, that goes for every where. War is a sign Of last resorts.



I am a USA citizen. I write my letters to the gov. As I see fit. I do not go out and start torching people to get my way nor do I shoot anyone. Right now I am a little up set about our Gov. and the cuts to Medicare and S.S.. There are so many ways to get the deficit reduced. Like I didn't know you could collect your spouses S.S. while they were alive. and personally I don't think it is right. But I wrote about that be for. Also there are so many people cheating welfare , S.S. and Unemployment. People need jobs so hire some or use some of the people laid off to catch these cheaters. But stop taking away from the working stiffs.How about the Senate and congress stop riding plans first class, or paying for their own lunches ( no more tax write offs) If you break the law no retirement package. Like Mary Rose Okar gets. That's Bull, its like getting a reward for Miss- using tax payers money. No No can't do that. We would rather complain about S.S. because the Gov. borrowed all the monies out and can't pay it back. So lets just take more away from the middle class. Wow what a mess we got ourselves into.



To be honest, I would love to see this country become great again like it was. We need to learn we are not God we are Gods sheep. We need to get our own states in order and stop bailing everyone else out of trouble . Worry about this country Let Others take care of them selfs. If they can't stand up for them self then they must not want to be free. Robin Williams said it best:YOU HAVE TO LOVE HIM...A MUST READ...!
HE MADE THIS SPEECH IN NEW YORK .
The Plan !
Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says "I love New York " in Arabic.
You gotta love Robin Williams........Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)

'I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.'
1) 'The US, UK , CANADA and AUSTRALIA will apologize to the world for our 'interference' in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good 'ole' boys', we will never 'interfere' again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea , the Middle East, and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave.We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are from. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.(?)
4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a 'D' and it's back home baby.

6) The US, UK , CANADA and AUSTRALIA will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Al askan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere.'They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE. Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
'The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' '
If you agree with the above, copy and paste it to an e-mail or two and send it to your friend, senators and congress heck maybe even the president.
