14 ways to say I love you

Expressing your love is essential in any loving relationship.. People need to feel loved in order to believe it. No, not everyday can be Valentine's Day. However, with a little effort you can express it daily. 

  1. Use sticky notes and post loving messages where people will find it.
  2. Help with chores without being asked. 
  3. Keep the house clean. A clean house equals a happy spouse.
  4. If something goes wrong, both take responsibility. Don't ever let them feel alienated on a difficult situation. 
  5. Never put down their appearance especially weight. Instead offer activities that are healthy to do together.
  6. Hold hands and kiss often.
  7. Out of the blue, give a random special surprise. It doesn't need to be expensive. Just something that you know you will like.
  8. When you are angry, think about all the nice things that they do. It will help dissolve anger.
  9. Compliment three times as much as complaining. 
  10. Always try to spend time together each day. Don't let the busy life consume you.
  11. When someone is mad, upset, sad or frustrated, go to them and embrace them. Also surprise them with a kiss.
  12. Be trustworthy. If you want someone to trust you, be worth trusting.
  13. When you speak about your partner to others, only speak about positive things.
  14. Be kind to children and animals. It's a major turn off when someone is unkind to animals and kids especially.

Being Catholic and voting for pro choice candidates do not mix

I felt deeply saddened seeing Clinton bumper stickers on cars at the Catholic Church I attend.  I also felt saddened to hear some catechism teachers are also voting for Clinton. How is this possible?  Where is the disconnect? Yes, we do have Church and state, but when we're talking about 700,000 unborn babies being killed a year, abortion takes center stage.  I'm pro life because of biology and loving other human beings.  Jesus Himself has said, that He has loved each one of us before we were born.  Being Christian and Catholic centers around love and compassion.  Abortion isn't either of these things. A baby is killed and a woman is left injured and often in regret. Killing innocent lives is the opposite of love and therefore the opposite of God. I am fully and painfully aware there are other issues in the country.  I know Trump isn't this wonderful, pleasant person.  I don't like him but voting goes beyond personal feelings. But I also know that Clinton supports a

Why aren't Sunday's included in Lent?

If Lent is 40 days, why do we not count  Sundays ? Are Sundays included in  Lent ? The answer is no Sundays are not included in Lent. Jesus's first disciples followed the Book of Genesis. Saturday was the day of rest when God created the world. People who are Jewish still have their Sabbath on Saturdays. Christians changed the day to  Sunday  because Jesus Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday. The original disciples called the apostles noted the Resurrection as a brand new period in life. So Sunday became the Christian Sabbath day so to speak. Each Sunday became a day to celebrate and rejoice that Jesus Christ rose and is the Son of God. Christians changed Saturday to Sunday for the day of rest. Penance of any kind or fasting would be forbidden. The 40 days of Lent represent when Jesus fasted in the desert for forty days before publicly starting His ministry. Sundays do not count because of no fasting or penance. Therefore, Lent had to be made into six full weeks plus four extra d

The ember days

Ember days are no longer an obligation, but it is a definite added option to Lent or Advent. Ember days are four separate sets of three days within the same week. These days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Ember days, one must not eat between meals and only eat meat for one meal. If an ember day falls on a Friday, do not eat meat at all. Before Christianity came, Ember days were for pagan practices. It was abstaining and fasting for renewal. Catholic bishops tried not to take it over but have it adapted for  Catholicism . These days set apart for special prayer and fasting were considered especially suitable for the ordination of clergy. The Ember Days are known in Latin as the quattuor anni tempora (the "four seasons of the year"), or formerly as the jejunia quattuor temporum ("fasts of the four seasons"). The Ember Weeks—the weeks in which the Ember Days occur—are the weeks: between the third and fourth Sundays of Advent (although the Common Worship lection
