SHORT BUT SWEET: The night was dark and the Catholic marine on guard duty was having a hard time staying awake. He jarred himself awake several times, but finally gave in and fell asleep. With a start, he opened his eyes to find the camp chaplain, standing in front of him. Thinking quickly, the marine quickly lowered his head again and said loudly, “Amen!”

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:  “I’ve learned that things change, people change, and it doesn’t mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means you move on and treasure the memories. Letting go doesn’t mean giving up….it means accepting that some things weren’t meant to be.”      Lisa Brooks

“From every wound there is a scar, and every scar tells a story. A story that says I survived.”  Fr. Craig Scott

“Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.”  Charles Schulz

“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.” Erma Bombeck

“Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world.” Steve Jobs[Co-founder of Apple computers]

ONE SENTENCE SERMON: Every bad situation will have something positive…even a dead clock shows correct time twice a day! Stay Positive!
