What we need is real leadership in the HOB. We not only need a strong, non-anxious presence and courageous witness, we need to join that with a clearly articulated vision. "Mother" needs to put her foot down, look deep into their eyes and say, "Because I said so, that's why."Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-34110239140842280562009-04-24T00:34:00.000-04:002009-04-24T00:34:00.000-04:00I have to wonder if these folks take their advise ...I have to wonder if these folks take their advise from the GOP or the reverse.<br /><br />Maybe both have lifetime passes for the crazy train.Canyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737285360280766111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-77139757045116027162009-04-24T00:02:00.000-04:002009-04-24T00:02:00.000-04:00Really!

I never did want that. <br /><br />Makes you wonder what else they want to get rid of -- sacraments, liturgy?

As you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. From this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But by going out they made it plain that none of them belongs to us. <br /><br />Laughing and crying at the irony that this is the reading for "the day after."it's margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577280471100732619noreply@blogger.com
