New Magnet Ordered

I've just ordered this magnet for my collection.  I'm glad I found this, because it's been months since I've added a new magnet to my collection, although I've been looking.
The price was less than $5.00, and shipping is free.
And... the seller is located in Thailand, and I don't know whether I've ever mentioned this, but I love getting packages
from foreign countries.

My Patron Saint's Parents Are Going To Be Canonized!!!!

Here is the article.
I'm absolutely ecstatic over this.

Bible Marking Revisited

A few years ago, I wrote a post about my Bibles, and my Bible-marking systems.  Well, I finally decided that it would be less

confusing to have one system throughout my favorite Bible....

yes, that paperback Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition, that I've had for almost 17 years now.  So I've just ordered a

yellow Bible highlighter, one that doesn't bleed through to the other side of the page.  When I get it, I will use it on all the

marked passages in my Bible that aren't already highlighted, and, probably, on some other passages as well.
