The Perils of a Catholic Upbringing
As I walked down the busy sidewalk with my wife, knowing I was late for Mass my eyes fell upon one of those unfortunate ragged vagabonds that are found in every city these days.
Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.
Recalling my old pastor, Father Mike, who always admonished me to "care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked,” I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person.
Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying treasured worldly possessions in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition.
Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a true, hidden beauty.
A small voice inside my head called out,
"Reach out....
reach out . .. .
and touch this person!"
So I did.
I won't be at Mass this week

OH... The Horror
Air Show Disaster at
WEST SWICK'S ISLAND PARK, BELLEVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA
AIRCRAFT HITS FOUR BUILDINGS
This is tough to see. It just shows the dangers of attending
these events.
Amazing photo below shows great detail. The pilot at low level had no control over his aircraft. It narrowly misses a crowd gathered for the air show and slams into four buildings.
One can only imagine the horror of the occupants inside those buildings.
No one was killed, but it probably scared the crap out of them.

What Do You Raise?
Two Texans are sitting on a plane from Dallas and an old
Jewish Texan is sitting between them.
The first Texan says, "My name is Roger. I own 250,000 acres.
I have 1,000 head of cattle and they call my place The Jolly Roger."
The second Texan says, "My name is John. I own 350,000 acres.
I have 5,000 head of cattle and they call my place Big Johns."
They both look down at the Jewish man who says, "My name is Irving and I
own 300 acres."
Roger looks down at him and says, "300 Acres? What do you
raise?"
"Nothing," Irving says.
"Well then, what do you call it?" asked John.
The little old Jewish man says, "Downtown Dallas."

of affection at home.
