Just wanted to share the final news story on Alex this week. A statement written in the program for her funeral is at the end of the story. Any prayers offered contributed to this sense of peace that they display here. Reminding us that a moment does not define a lifetime.

Be gone rain!Another day of one step forward, one mudslide back. I am not directly affected and even I am exhausted by it. But, as always, this area walks it’s tight rope of losing it’s mind and giving it’s heart.I love my community. Several months back, Forbes rated Utica/Rome, the cities that connect all these other…
http://www.facebook.com/FrJamesMartin?ref=tsA beautiful video about the sacrifices that the religious women make on behalf of the Gospel.

Oh my… my heart goes out to them.
I am not too far away from where you live, Annette.
Hey Fran! Good to see you here. Yes, I think I connected that a while ago because you are in my old stomping ground. Hopefully someday we will meet!
