Me: "In this division problem you are going to have a remainder."
My son: "When Chuck Norris divides there are no remainders."
Ugh.

Beautiful Prayer
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and alway be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You.
Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more.
With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.

Do Not Be Afraid
As a Catholic I am deeply saddened, horrified and angered at the desecration videos that are being posted on YouTube right now. Please take a moment to visit the site below and ask YouTube to remove the videos immediately. This is not just a Catholic issue. If evil such as this is allowed to perpetuate it won't be long until other Christian faiths are being mocked and desecrated. All Christians should stand up and demand the removal of these videos. It is absolutely appalling! Do Not Be Afraid to stand up for Christianity!

The Survey Says...?
Did you watch the Presidential debate on Friday night?
After watching, listening to the talking heads on CNN, MSNBC and FoxNews, I am not surprised that there is no clear "winner" of this debate. Both candidates showed their strengths and weaknesses.
What I found interesting was Barack Obama either agreed with or conceded that McCain was right at least 6 times during the debate.
What I found funny was McCain's comment in response to Obama talking about attacking Pakistan. "You don't say that out loud!". I laughed pretty heartily at that one.
At times it looked like McCain was schooling a new student to government. Obama forgot his bracelet and the name of the soldier on it. Oops. McCain couldn't pronounce Ahmadinejad.
Over all, I found it to be interesting to see the two together. I liked McCain's passion, I found Obama to be confident but lacking substance. I am eagerly looking forward to the VP debate, that could be the deciding factor in this race. I hope it's got more fire than this one had.

No Win Situation
What is going on!? We have one candidate suspending his campaign to do his real job, another deciding his "job" is to debate and continue stumping. No deals have been reached on the economic crisis. The WWW is slinging rocks at both sides. The polls are crazy..up and down up and down. He's in the lead, no..wait a minute..the other guy is.
I can't fault John McCain for doing the job we are paying him to do. On the other hand, I understand that the debates are important. A lot of money has gone into preparing for them and they should go on.
What I don't understand is that Barack Obama doesn't want to do the job we are paying him to do. He wants to "talk" about doing it. The debates are important, no doubt about it, but we are not paying him to "talk" about it.
I don't know if McCain's presence on the Hill will make one iota of difference, what I do know is that he made doing his job a priority. In a crisis moment he stopped the stumping and went to work. This is the man's character. Folks on the net and the news say it could backfire on him, he could lose the election because of this. I don't think he cares. I think he cares that Americans are paying him to do a job and it's time to get off of the playground and get to work.
I have to agree with him on that.
