Update On The Share-Care-Prayer Club

When I started The Share-Care-Prayer Club on May 14, 2014, I
had no idea how things would turn out.  I had several online clubs in the past, but they were secular, and didn't last long due to one problem or another.
1: Invasion by trolls that got out of hand.
2: Lack of members.
3: Host site began to require mobile phone numbers.

So I wouldn't have been all that surprised if The Share-Care-Prayer Club had also flopped... but, thank God, it didn't.  Far from it!  There are now more than 600 members.

Oh, and if you go to the link, please click on the Prayer Support tab on the top of the page. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found there!

Ordinary Things, Not An Ordinary Day (Old post, slightly edited)

Tomorrow is the 15th anniversary of 9/11. That morning, I was warming up some biscuits. This was such a normal, ordinary thing for me to do. So was turning on the radio, but that day, for some reason, I didn't turn it on until it was time for Dan Daniel (Dandy Dan Daniel, Daniel Daniel Daniel, Triple D) to play the Backwards Oldie. This was a contest they had every morning around 9:00
on WCBS-FM. The beginning of a record would be played backwards, and the
listeners would try to identify the song.
About the first thing I heard was Dandy Dan telling us that there would be
no backwards oldie that day. I took out my biscuits, and wondered why.

I had just bitten into a warm, well-margarined biscuit when I found out why we weren't getting the backwards oldie that day. I rushed, biscuit in hand, to turn on the TV (but did not shut off the radio.).
It was a long time before I could eat biscuits again.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
