"The Answer to Your Problem is not the answer to your problem...it is the Lordship of Jesus." Roger, Age 70 and still living it!! Roger is a very close friend who loves God and has volunteered to visit prisoners including my "husband". Roger is well educated, and his children have all grown to be outstanding athletes and scholars. They lived in France for ten years and share my love of great food and cycling. His wife runs an unwed mothers program and Roger & his son ride across the state of Wisconsin to Minneapolis frequently. His son just cycled from New York to Minneapolis! What an example of Faith!!!

Why Jesus is the Way to Union with God

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 1 Timothy 4:9-10

From: Elle Date: Dec 30 2006 3:36 PM Believing In Yourself

Standing for what you believe in regardless of the odds against you and the pressure that tears at your resistance means courage.

Keeping a smile on your face when inside you feel like dying for the sake of supporting others means strength.

Stopping at nothing and doing what in your heart you know is right means determination.

Doing more than is expected to make another's life a little more bearable without uttering a single complaint means compassion.

Helping a friend in need no matter the time or effort to the best of your ability means loyalty.

Giving more than you have and expecting nothing but gratitude in return means selflessness.

Holding your head high and being the best you know you can be when life seems to fall apart at your feet and facing each difficulty with the confidence that time will bring you better tomorrows and never giving up means believing in yourself... -Poem by Mary Ellen Joseph

Friends, please limit your HTML to three graphics maximum, many of us do not have computers that can handle it, and it's not fair to others who may have a very special purpose to post. Love you all! Some of you have the BIGGEST HEARTS!! XO Llora

Charles de Foucald, founder of the Little Brothers and Sisters of Jesus, said: "One must pass through solitude and dwell in it to receive God’s grace. It is there that one empties oneself, that one drives before oneself all that is not God, and that one completely empties this little house of our soul to leave room for God alone. In doing this, do not fear being unfaithful toward creatures. On the contrary, that is the only way for you to serve them effectively" (Raphael Brown, Franciscan Mystic, p. 126).

I am a deeply involved mother of six beautiful children. I've parented alone seventeen out of twenty years, so I sometimes feel the weight of gravity, but it is all so worthy because of the joy of serving. I am in my second year of an Associates in Business, although I must confess I seem to thrive in the Humanities. (What would success mean if I cannot manage it, eh?)

We have moved far more than we hoped, and faced challenges we never expected, and it has all shaped the amazing gratitude and outlook we have for the future. Obstacles are the training ground, avoiding them is a bit like giving up, it limits your success, so yes, I have been accused of not knowing my place, but any place you are helping others succeed is a very good place.

Not quite!
