"Be careful how you live, you maybe the only gospel your neighbor ever reads..."

Wow such diversity in this picture dont you think?! haha anyway when i found this qoute it stuck out to me cuz there is so much truth to this simple statement. Its pretty much goes hand in hand w/the old expression of, 'actions speak louder then words.' Im sure we all have friends/family who either A) Are non practicing catholics B) Are non cathlics or C) Are not practicing any type of religon at all. So are job as catholic christians is to shed our light upon them. They may not read any type of bible or pick one up, however our actions maybe the gospel they ever see or read. So its important to live our life the way GOd calls us to. To become a light unto the world. Juss as He tells us in Matthew 5:13-14, 'You are the light of the world, the salth of the earth.' It seems ever since last fri. after Fr. Pat's homily expressing what St. Francis of Assisi said bout preaching the gospel and if necessary use words, is a message ive been seeing a lot lately. Guess it's something God calling to me read and remember.

Good day yesterday, very hmm i guess productive sorta. Slept in and then went to visit my new baby cousin inside the hospital. Her name is brooklyn like new york, new york! ha She's soooooooooo cute. Long baby, i cant wait till she grows up to see wha shes gonna look like. Nurserys are fun to look at inside the hospital cuz then you get to praise God for bringing in another beautiful soul into the world! They have this place called, 'the center of spiritual development' over there at St. JOspeh's hospital. ITs run by the nuns of St. Jospeh they got all kinds of good stuff over thurr. I went ot the bookstore and oh man there was so many good stuff. Lots of good books on spirituality, prayer, discernment, they seem books you wouldnt be able to really find inside the catholic book store.

Went to mass at 515pm, its been forever long since i went to 515 weekday mass. Fr. Kevin talked bout in his homily bout St. Martin De Tours. He was a solider in europe and i guess he never really wanted to be but his father forced him. Well there was this one instance, whurr it was cold and raining and he ran into this ol beggar. The beggar was cold and asked for clothing or something like that. St. Martin took his sword and cut his cloak in half and gave half of it to the ol beggar. That nite he had a dream bout that ol beggar and the ol beggar ended up being Jesus. So like St. Martin we are called to help out our brothers and sisters who may not be as fortunate as we are. That is contemplating the face of Christ in each person.

PRayer meeting was nice, praise God i was able to pray w/the community again. There seem to have been a lot of people. At least the usuals started to come back again. We had some guests from yfc also, so that was cool. THey came up from riverside and temecula, whoa! We both agreed that it;s cool to visit other groups to praise God w/them and juss to see how different groups run their meetings. So its always cool to discover new things and meet new people at the same time.
yay for cool people who like to come and check out our community! Im leading in 2 weeks, yay! It'll be my last time for a while at least until there is another SRE holiday and i dont got to teach. Ah which reminds me i need to contact leslie and figure out wha were gonna do on tues.

Went to fridays by souf coast plaza to celebrate toni montana the bad guy's birfday! Ah yes another novemeber birfday, man they seem never ending! Tons of people there to help celebrate the birfday. Some peeps from liwanag were thurr also. I noticed people's energy levels drop from the time we all got there until the end of the nite. By the end of the nite, errone was juss exhausted. Good times though! Kristel fama had this 'dream' that made her ask me this random out of no whurr question. Then later on her, toni and randell were singing and dancing to some ol skool tunes. Tracks i remember that i sung when i was in jr. high, whoa that was yurrs ago! I had mudslide, which was pretty good, but it starts to water down real fast. IT tastes choco milk mmm
Took lots of cool pictures to add to my collection of cool pictures.

I forgot to mention this, the other day at work my boss was telling me how his son has a new saints he's in love with. St. Therese of Lisieux, also known as the saint of the little flower. Well at the boy;'s skool each class was to adpot a saint for their class. I guess his class ended up picking St. Therese. Well he was telling my boss stuff like, did you know she was a carmelite?! I think i want to be a carmelite sister too. haha My boss laughed and said, 'you cant be a carmelite sister, but you can be a carmelite priest!.' I was laughing when he told me that, i admire my boss for him and his wife raising his son in a good catholic environment. Thas totally cool!

Well im off to class then work then over to the land of big buildings and rich stuff. Yes the city of irvine for another edition of yfc meeting. Supposedly this meeting is suppose to be different, i wonder whas going to happen. I guess ill have to find out. Until next time, take care of yourselves and each other!
