If he's anywhere near me, I'd welcome him as a grandfather. My kids only have one grandfather and he's not Catholic. Soooo, contact Mary and start enjoying love and chocolate chip cookies....(actually pizzelle are in the cookie jar now) Their is only One Spirit and it lives in each of us regardless of our proximity to one and other. Advent blessings to you all. Cooky,

They will learn from you (all those years spent reading literature) as much as you will learn from them! Great idea for a "self"-Christmas gift! Did anyone besides me notice the juxtaposition of Elkabriker's post and Msgr. Clark's homily? How interesting of the Holy Spirit! Warren, dear, see if you can “adopt” one!

Even Ms. Hasselbeck can afford to find a real, use-FUL job elsewhere. Indeed, all of television is so useless to me - wastes of time, intellect, moral strength, funds and electricity - I refuse to own a television, and never have. And, I have this secret desire to invite myself into homeschooling families, and find so much more to learn. That’s funny, but I always thought that the View supports a team of use-LESS idiots.

I took the liberty to take some of the things that Mary wrote. I also thanked them for Elisabeth Hasselbeck--she needs support, as the only conservative person there! They do pay attention if they get a lot of complaints, and I know that homeschooling families can be great at making themselves heard!

As a homeschooling mother of four, I appreciate you enlightening those prejudiced against families who choose to educate their children at home. We could always send it to The View... who knows?

Whether on the international scale or in our own neighborhoods, schools, and parishes, we see it happening over and over, one group declaring another to be outsiders, strangers, inferiors, not one of us. The division is always arbitrary and usually quite superficial in origin, but that doesn’t lessen the intensity with which it is felt and enforced, sometimes even with threats of death. Nothing could be further from the big family, the communion, which our hearts yearn for. Isaiah tells us in today’s Old Testament reading that God has a very different vision of our future. “The mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest mountain and … all nations shall stream toward it.” In God’s vision, there is no they, only we, no strangers, only brothers and sisters. So how are we doing at making God’s plan come true? Are we leaving anyone or any group outside the circle of our love and concern? Isn’t it time to bring everyone inside? Sounds like Ms. Behar could use today’s homily from Catholic Exchange:

Homily of the Day
No Strangers, Only Brothers and Sisters

My baby's middle name is Joy because she was born Nov 30th and anticipates the Christmas Joy. Also, bearing and raising has been 100% JOY, in the purest Christian meaning. Joy to the World the Lord is Come, let earth receive her (servant, savior) King!!! PS Ms Behar needs to live up to her name, Joy!
