Anyone who cares about our country and wants to bring it back to its place in the world, needs to view this video. It actually seems that we are under attack and from our own people. Uninformed voters brought us to this pass. Perhaps some education and a new voice in our political system is needed come the next election. Our country can't take too much more of the same.

Feast Day for Our Guardian Angels!
Dr. Taylor Marshall brought up some interesting facts about our Guardian Angels in his daily notes. I found out a few things both religiously and historically about them that I didn't know. One has to believe we do have someone helping to look over our daily lives and to be with us in times of trials and tribulations. God is everywhere but how kind of Him to give us a personal contact with another Heavenly Being. http://taylormarshall.com/
The concept of "guardian angels" is thoroughly Jewish. Moses records human interaction with guarding angels in the Torah, and Daniel frequently mentions the powerful role of angels as guardians
Christ our Lord explicitly teaches the existence of guardian angels in Matthew 18:10: "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven."
The early Church Fathers also spoke of our guardian angels. St. Jerome, for example, taught that each person (whether they are Christian or not) has a guardian angel appointed to a person from the beginning of his existence.
Saint Thomas Aquinas taught that all humans have a guardian angel and that these were chosen from the lowest hierarchy of angels.
Blessed John Paul II emphasized the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the ministry of guardian angels: "Let us invoke the Queen of angels and saints, that she may grant us, supported by our guardian angels, to be authentic witnesses to the Lord’s paschal mystery" (Regina Caeli Audience, 1997).
Maria Agreda, the visionary, taught that the Blessed Virgin Mary had hundreds of guardian angels, including St Michael and St Gabriel. I’ve heard some people say that Catholic priests have "two guardian angels," but I don’t know if this tradition has any magisterial support.
And to raise a very controversial topic, you’re not supposed to name your Guardian Angel. Sorry, just don’t do it.

A reminder of what has been lost . . .
This was a sad reminder of how much the Catholic Church gave up in order to be 'with it' and in touch with the laity.

A culinary miracle . . .
As mentioned, Pomegranates are one of my favorite fruits, but I often hesitate to enjoy them because they are so messy to eat. My husband will often treat me by seeding one for me but he ends up with stained fingers for days. Cutting one in half and just picking out the seeds is slow work and hardly worth the effort of the mess.
I just ran across this video that changes all this! The person demonstrating his method of seeding a Pomegranate assured one that they would be amazed and he was right. In about 10 seconds, you can thoroughly remove the seeds from half a fruit with little effort. Just had to share!
