It is my son John's 12th Birthday today:
Hope you are having a great 12th birthday today. I know the percussion section had to like the cookie that Mom made. We raised you up to God in the prayers of petition at Mass today. We celebrated Mass above the house of the mother-in-law of Peter. It is mentioned in Luke 4: "After he left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them." Father Dan challenged us to be a healing presence to the people in our lives. Just think how words of encouragement can uplift people and even heal broken feelings.
On more of a BOY note, I did see some tanks and a soldier with an assault rifle (he was waiting for a bus) as we traveled through the Golan Heights which border Syria and Lebanon. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. We also had a fish lunch and the fish head was still attached. It was good eating, even down to the fat in the fish cheeks.
Dave - forgot to tell you in last post -- doctor's appt went GREAT! Scans were good. Now go every 6 months for tests! Stay safe!
