It has been awhile.....

I have been a bit absent in posting for the past few weeks. Well, winter is, kinda, here in Texas. It was definitely windy today and, between the wind and the wild fires, we have been on our toes.

It looks like Linda, at least, will be coming to Oklahoma in a week or so to visit. I wish that I could make the trip but, with school, it just does not look like it is a possibility. We are considering our options as the second semester is upon us.

My school is progressing and I am working on finishing up my certification here in Texas. Where the Lord brings us as Lent approaches, we will see.

I placed a link in the title for the Catholic Voter's Guide at Catholic Answers () Consider the very important issues at hand in this election. It is important to the Arroyo Family that we keep LIFE foremost in mind this election. We have major candidates that are campaigning on such issues as Same Sex Unions, Embryonic Stem Cell Research and Abortion. What are the rights of our children?

God Bless, I hope that you are all doing well this 2008!

Pope Benedict's Prayer Intentions for the New Year - Unity

VATICAN CITY, JAN. 1, 2008(Zenit.org)

- Benedict XVI’s monthly prayer intention will focus on unity during January.

The Apostleship of Prayer announced the general intention chosen by the Pope: "That the Church may strengthen her commitment to full visible unity in order to manifest in an ever growing degree her nature as community of love, in which is reflected the communion of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."

The Holy Father also chooses an apostolic intention for each month. In January, he will pray that "the Church in Africa, which is preparing to celebrate her Second Special Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, may continue to be the sign and instrument of reconciliation and justice in a continent which is still marked by war exploitation and poverty."
