Vid/Blog: My 7 yr. old son says, "I don't believe in Santa"

My 7 year old boy says, "I don't believe in Santa."  I told him about the real St. Nicholas, a bishop who made toys and gave them to kids.  But I left it at that and talked about the real meaning of Christmas.  It is more entertaining to watch, so enjoy.

Video: love from God shines in Rebecca St. James as she sings "Jesus, King of my heart."

The pure and vibrant love from God shines in Rebecca St. James as she sings, "Jesus, King of my heart."  This is the peace that the world cannot give, the liberation that goes to the soul.



Jesus, King of my heart
Father, my peace and my light
Spirit, the joy of my soul You are

Jesus, to you none compare
Father, I rest in Your care
Spirit, the hope of my heart You are

CHORUS:
The heavens declare You are God
And the mountains rejoice
The oceans cry Alleluia
As we worship You Lord
For this is our Song of Love

Jesus, You save my soul
I'll thank You forevermore
Jesus, the love of my life You are

CHORUS

Jesus, I am in awe
Of the love that You have shown
Jesus, how precious You are to me

Blog: NY Chutzpah. NJ Turnpike. Buffalo Priests, JOY.

NJ Turnpike:
As I drove down the NJ Turnpike from Manhattan, I prayed the Rosary with my wife and 10, 7, 6 & 2 year old kids.  No one complained. Their praying voices were just music to my ears.  It was one of my greatest blessings and I thank God.  


NY Chutzpah:
They were charging $60 for parking near the convention center. I drove a few blocks away and found this place where they stacked 4 cars using hydraulics. That place charged $20.

The Blues & JOY:

A friend posted in FB that she is down.  So I hope this helps:  http://www.quotegarden.com/happiness.html

I get the blues myself and those remind me of what St. Augustine said:  "Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee O My God."  And what JOY means i.e. J is Jesus 1st, O is others 2nd & Y is yourself last.

Buffalo priests:  cf. http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/

The Irish child abuse scandal has grown to a point that perhaps the only way to save the good clerics is to extract them there and replace them with "Buffalo priests" from Africa, Latin America and Asia.  Otherwise, there's a whole lot of ugly that can blow up anytime and that can result in the loss of faith or of lives. ( similar to the Buffalo soldiers at WWII)
