Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. ~St. Francis of Assisi



In a social milieu that encourages the expression of a variety of opinions on every question that arises, it is important to recognize dissent for what it is, and not to mistake it for a mature contribution to a balanced and wide-ranging debate. It is the truth revealed through Scripture and Tradition and articulated by the Church’s Magisterium that sets us free. (Pope Benedict XVI)

Morning has broken

I sit here on generator-assisted computer time.  Power company guarantees power to all customers by Friday, Feb 12 - that is 5 days away...  We are stuck vehicle-wise, but have the necessities.

The sun is out and the thick, deep blanket of snow is beautiful.  The dog is leaping through the snow. The kids are upstairs getting something for breakfast.  Babbo Bear just awoke - he took the 1:30 - 3:30 am "furnace shift." 

God is good. 

We are warm and comfy.  There is still coffee to drink.  The kids are used to not getting much 'media' so they are not nearly as bored as many others may be with no power...
