To cheer up, pray more. Prayers shore us up when things are good, but also when bad. Grandpa Jim would say "Cheer up. Things could be worse." Then he'd say, "Sure enough, I cheered up and they got worse." It can get worse. If we remember to pray, we'll be better. The situation or circumstance may not be better, but we'll be better. More cheered up. It is prayer that helps us to cheer up. Ours or maybe someone else's. 01/04/12

Speaking of physics...Yesterday I spent alot of time reading about quantum physics (don't worry, it's at our level). It left me thinking that we need a new health care delivery, a new energy system, and a new economy. Not bad for some work that needs to be done.

If you are interested: Please join me as I try to join His Excellency Bishop Fellay in his request for 12 million rosaries by March 25, 2010, Fr. Gruner in his 12 million rosary crusade, AND Mr. Lacorte, Fatima USA, and his request for 100,000 prayers by October 18, 2009. Let us join those 3 and their rosary/prayer requests for their intentions. This could be a step in obtaining a certain critical mass (of prayers) necessary for the events they wish to occur. (This is a law of physics) This is what Our Lady at Fatima, Garabandal, and Lourdes was asking (the most important reason to do this)...Pray, Pray, Pray, - Prayer, Penance, Sacrifice, - Penance, Penance, Penance respectively. As we look around us, it is quite easy to see the need for us to pray, and to pray with each other as well. The more we pray the same prayers, the better it will be. It is a law of physics. joan ellen 08-21-09

Below are some STEPS that some Grandmas do
with & for their grandchildrens spiritual life.: (We may have a Grandpas page in the future.)
1.) Grandmas are allowed to say things to their grandchildren.
2.) Grandmas have rights.
3.) Grandmas can tell grandchildren what is morally right.
4.) While parents have to focus on personal, financial, etc. care, Grandmas have time to focus on spiritual care.
5.) A child's love for a Grandma is very different than it is for a parent.
6.) Grandmas bring wisdom, trial & error & experience that parents do not have.
7.) Grandmas can use story form to bring the Word of God to the grandchildren.
8.) In one day a Grandma can teach a grandchild more than they can learn in a whole week elsewhere.
9.) Grandmas have a different set of problems, so they have more time to teach the faith to grandchildren.
10.) Pray.

Grandma Joan S. practices. Steps 1 through 10...Pray especially 7 Hail Marys & the Memorare.
