I just about choked on my food (in giggles) when I read your pre-response email message to the Flower Girl complainer. Thank the Lord you didn't send it. Hmmm....Is he or she reading this post? Just think if you had not lost that original email. ;) <br /><br />I've learned very hard lessons over the years writing a blog and commenting on blogs: Sometimes it's best to keep it zipped & not say a word! I admit I've made a mountain out of a mole hill **way too many times** throughout the three and a half decades of my life. Enough drama to fill both St. Joseph & St. Monica sanctuaries. :( It's so easy to misread and misinterpret stuff, especially if my mood is malodorous. (Oh good grief, I see the alliteration coming through the keyboard.)<br /><br />I love your words: "If deception and the devil go together like division and war, then Truth and God go together like forgiveness and grace." Brilliant & something I need to always remember.<br /><br />It appears the Girls Scouts of America are undergoing some controversy, too. I just read in the National Catholic Register last week the USCCB are inquirying into GSUSA relationship with the Church. (GSUSA alleged ties with PP.) Evidently there's growing concern from parents about the "problematic educational materials" given to the young girls. I know St. Joseph hosts a very active Girls Scout troop that regularly attends meetings. (One of my bright Faith Formation students was a Girl Scout.)<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />-Jennifer<br /><br />P.S. What a treat when you post two meditations in one day. :)Jennifer B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15338737502809429613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-80254939388586706282012-06-14T19:03:56.692-05:002012-06-14T19:03:56.692-05:00It looks like the Boy Scouts have what it takes to...It looks like the Boy Scouts have what it takes to stand up to the devil.<br /><br />Too bad the Girl Scouts have fallen into hell.<br /> <br />And worse, it's too bad more Catholics are willing to continue to support an organization that not only promotes premarital sex and abortion but pedals Planned Parenthood's brand of morality.<br /><br />I find it sad that so many parents who know the truth, continue to allow their girls to participate in Girl Scouts because their friends are in it or that their particular 'troop' does not take part in the sex education.<br /><br />If you are supporting any part of it, you are supporting all of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
