Glad and Sad news . . .

The glad news is that over two million red envelopes were mailed to the White House in the campaign for Pro-Life. The sad news is that I have yet to find a major publication/newspaper carrying the information. A mail handler at the White House said that it was the largest mailing received on a particular topic in 35 years yet the news reporters do not find this news worthy. It used to be the news reporters reported ALL the news not just the news to promote pet agendas. We are certainly becoming a world of compromised values.

A friend told me she has prayed a Rosary a day for our current president and it has been a difficult task - not the prayer, itself, but the recipient! It does seem, sometimes, that our prayers are falling into a bottomless pit and nothing seems to 'stick'. We just have to keep on keeping on and know all is in God's Time not ours. Easier said than done in our human thinking!
