I am a Jewish convert to Catholicism, blogging on a variety of subjects. The motto for this blog is: "Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition.

At Last, A Club that Actually WORKS!
I've learned a few things about forming an online club through trial and error. Mostly, I must admit, through error!
One mistake was in trying to have the same club in different places.
Another was in starting a club, or group, on a host that kept asking for my mobile phone number when I tried to log back
in. I do not have a mobile phone, because the circumstances of my life make it unnecessary. Or, to put it in a less pompous, high-falutin' way, I just plain don't need one.
And perhaps the biggest mistake of all was when I tried to change this blog into a club, with a clubhouse. That, too, did
not work, so I've changed it back into just a blog. I have, however, kept some of the "rooms," so it wasn't a total waste
of time.
So, finally, I went to this Catholic social network, which I'd actually discovered more than a year ago on "Life on the Rock",
and which I already belonged to, and I became ACTIVE. I joined several groups, and I also started one, which I've named
The Share-Care-Prayer Club. And, thank God, this club is actually ACTIVE!!!

Death With Dignity
I want to die with dignity. This is important to me.
But when I say that I want to die with dignity, what do I mean?
Well, it has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with my physical
or mental condition.
No.
When I say that I want to die with dignity, I mean that, at whatever time God has appointed for my death, I want to
die in the state of grace.
After all, there is nothing dignified about going to H-E-double
toothpicks!
