So, if you wanna you can read all of my other posts I've made today (if you really wanna). They're on Anonomitity and I've posted a bunch of comments on some other posts (on TC's blog, the Sandbox, and that).
Have I told you that I found a great new blog called Smile of The Day? Well, here is a post from a while ago that I really liked and found quite funny. (Don't be offended, eh?!)
Nervousness
At his first mass, a new priest was so nervous he could hardly get the words out. Immediately after he had managed the final benediction, he begged for advice from the monsignor. The monsignor told him: "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. if I start to get nervous, I take a sip."So next Sunday the young priest takes the monsignor's advice. When he starts to get nervous at the beginning of the sermon, he reaches for the glass of vodka he had prepared. It certainly helped the nervousness, and he proceeds to talk up a storm. Upon his return to his office after mass, however, he finds the following note on the door:
1. Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey,don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me."
12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry."
13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: "Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, yeah God!"
14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy-pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a Peter-pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
Okay, now that's done...
here's the quote:
Our lives are a manifestation of what we think about God.

I don't really have anything to add to this.
Not exactly related to my life, but here's today's sermon:
New Growth
"He has made everything beautiful in its time." Ecclesiastes 3:11
It is springtime here in south Florida where we live. There are signs of new growth all about. This morning while walking I noticed all the light coloring of the season. The grass and all the varied trees are in their glorious pastel shades of green. It is so pretty, yet not nearly as eyecatching and dramatic as darker, brighter colors of more mature growth in full bloom.
Similarly, in our Christian walks, we are more pale and stand out less in earlier parts of our journeys. As we grow and mature and "hang out" with Jesus, we take on deeper, richer, more brilliant hues of the attributes of Jesus himself. We become easier to spot; singled out out more quickly.
God grows us all beautiful in His time. That's good news.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that I am a new creation in Christ, that the old is gone and the new is here. Thank you for growing me into the likeness of Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen.
