Video: St. Maria Goretti - a model of purity and forgiveness

A model for chastity and purity for our daughters, St. Maria Goretti (18), was stabbed to death rather than surrender her virginity. A model of forgiveness, she forgave her attacker as she died. And even after death, she reached from heaven to convert him.

Vid: A True Love Story (The Kiss)

A short video about love that goes beyond feelings and sentimentality, transcending self.  Truly a depiction of the Christian model 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 - Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

- Lyrics
I just can't understand the ways
Of all the men and their mistakes.
You give them all your heart,
and then they rip it all away...
You told me how much you loved me
And how our love was meant to be.
And i believed in you, i thought that
you would set me free...
(chorus)
You should've just told me the truth
That i wasn't the girl for you...
Still i didn't have a clue
So my heart depended on you...
Whoah
Although i'll say 'i hate u' now
Although i'll shout and curse you out...
I'll always have love for you
Because i am a girl

Been told a man will leave you cold
Get sick of you and bored...
I know that it's no lie
I gave my all still i just cry
Never again will i be fooled, to give my all
When nothing's true...
I won't be played again,
but i will fall in love again...
(chorus)
You should've just told me the truth
That i wasn't the girl for you...
Still i didn't have a clue
So my heart depended on you...

don't take advantage of a girl's willingness
to do anything for love
and her caring instinct
i didn't know that to be born as a girl
and to be loved was so hard
although i will curse you i'll still miss you
since i am a girl, to whom love is everything
although i will curse you i'll still miss you
since i am a girl, to whom love is everything

- Narration (Girl)
the pain
it's not enough to describe how i feel
we were so happy together
but I know now
I've been blind
you told me that you'd never let me down
whenever I needed you
you'd always be here
I can forgive but I cant forget
even though you hurt me
I still love you

(korean)
don't take advantage of a girl's willingness
to do anything for love
and her caring instinct

- Narration (Guy)
There's someone I'm in love with..
Although I can't be with her now..
I'm still in love with her...

Kiss Because i'm a girl Kiss Because i'm a girl

Vid: Playing for Change - Street Musicians from Around the World

Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around The World from Concord Music Group on Vimeo.

From the award-winning documentary, "Playing For Change: Peace Through Music".  The movement to help inspire people from around the world to come together through music.


My reflection:  While this inspires the emotions, it is just founded on sand and not solid rock.  When good vibes are there then all is cool;  when things are not that great, then who knows what happens.  Wouldn't it be great if people felt awed and moved by the love of God through His Son Jesus that they would go to the streets in the same way and celebrate that instead?  And that would be solid, built on rock that does not come and go with feelings.

Life throws many opportunities and trials our way. Through our successes and failures, the authenticity of our faith is always being tested. It's not just our words that matter. It's our genuine responses and actions that also speak to whether our faith is real.

Catepillar, UNO, toilet, diarhea, Mystical Body, hard drives, prayers, meds, Mass, women drivers video

My 7 year old boy, "Steven" has a caterpillar project that has become a family undertaking. We watched YouTube clips and went with the egg carton. His 10 year old brother, "Tom" cut off ends of coat hangers to use as legs. Steven wants to finish it tonight until I found that it was due next week. He said he wanted it out of the way. "Out of the way of what?" I thought - like he has a pressing schedule to keep.

My 6 year old girl was crying because no one wanted to play UNO with her. So, I asked for a hand and started to play. She stopped crying and soon her sobbing turned into chatter as she directed me to take 4 cards or do the reverse. She's the UNO champion of the family but her brothers don't mind losing.

My 2 year old is yelling for attention as my wife put her in the crib for a break. "She has diarhea" my wife reported. I asked,  "So what has she been eating?" But the baby's cries got even louder that we could barely hear each other. So, the baby got picked up.

Then the basement toilet was stinking. The boys clogged it with too much toilet paper and poop. Back when my wife and I started, we divided the chores where I got whatever is heavy and stinky. So, I'll flush, plunge and use the auger if nothing works.  I learned that when we had a plumber come over. They charged $50 back then. The auger cost a lot less.

There's some peace and quite now; so, I wrote this as a thin slice of life about being a dad in the 21st century.  I also looked into Facebook and saw a funny video that has been shared by 3 friends.  I saw it and it was hilarious.  It is what it is and does not make any general statement about a certain gender.

I still have to replace a couple of hard drives.  I'm not sure how they got corrupted - probably because of  wear and tear that I could have lessened by putting the computers in sleep mode instead of keeping them running.  I got the drives from Ebay because they're from models older than 5 years.  I saw a YouTube video on how to install them.

I have to pay some bills online, take my meds, brush my teeth and pray before I sleep. I thank God for this noisy crew and ask His protection over them. I am thinking of going to an early Mass tomorrow, but it feels too cold to get out of bed early in the morning. But I'm going to try anyway. The doctrine of the Mystical Body is that if I become holy, then I raise the holiness of my family. That is really the best that I can give them and I won't have to yell as much if they're holy.  So, we'll see.

Vid: Impending Punishment for US Liberals

Today pro-aborts do violence to the religious defenders of the unborn, who are mostly followers of the meek and gentle Jesus. Still on a larger scale, health care legislation is being pushed to sneak in the federal funding of abortions. This will increase the number of abortions tenfold. So far 50 million unborn children who were murdered since abortion became legal and their cries pierce the heavens. Furthermore, anti religious laws proliferate as though there's a rush to remove God from the hearts and minds of Americans.

With that background, one needs to look at the Hebrew Scriptures to see how God punished those who mock Him. In the video, you can see that it is not hard for His avenging hand to deliver justice and punishment in a single terrorist attack or decades of Islamic rule as Muslims gain political power. The Muslims will assert God's rights forcibly and violently. Those who will not respect and obey God out of love now will follow His rules in fear and trembling later.

Video: "Comfort"

What's wrong with comfort? Why move out of your comfort zone? If you're uncomfortable talking about Jesus, should you just remain silent and leave it to the priests?
