Wise Sayings
When I became a man I put away the things Of a child. St.Paul |

Pip Squeak It has been said many times -'Give a dog a bad name and it sticks!' I'm sure Tim's dad never intended the name 'Pip Squeak' to stick when his son was born, but it did. Had the dad been a little more perceptive he might have not used the expression ever. His little son was small at birth and his dad looking in at him on the cot jokingly said, "He's a little Pip Squeak". Alas, as the boy got older it was discovered he was going to be a "Small Person". Needless to say his dad felt very uncomfortable as people, not knowing the circumstances, stayed with the name 'Pip Squeak'. As the child grew older he realized he was a Small Person but adapted to his stature and got on with life. He actually enjoyed his nickname and that in itself was a relief to his dad. His real name was Zacaeus. Remember how privileged he was. He was so small he had to climb a tree when he heard Jesus was passing through his village. Jesus spotted him up the tree and called him down. That evening Jesus ate supper with him in his own house. How privileged we are that we can enjoy supper every day with Jesus in the Eucharist. He does not see smallness, nor does he see bigness. He sees us as we are - irrespective of size shape or color, All he asks, is that we love him in turn.
Let us be grateful for our grey hairs, our paunch, our apperance - it is how God loves.

ARE WE ALWAYS...? ASKING FOR EXTRAS WHEN OUR PARENTS ARE UNABLE TO OBLIGE? IGNORING GOOD ADVICE? EXPECTING OUR SIBLINGS TO DO ALL THE CHORES? LOOKING FOR THE EASY WAY OUT? SEEKING THE FRIENDSHIP OF NEIGHBORS BEFORE FAMILY? MAKING EXCUSES WHEN THERE ARE NONE? HOPING TO BE THE POPULAR ONE? If the answer to all of these is YES - you have a huge PROBLEM! YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE!!! |

IT IS GOOD TO REMEMBER... HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US. HOW KIND HE WAS IN GIVING US PARENTS WHO LOVE US. THAT THE GREAT QUALITIES WE HAVE COME FROM GOD'S GRACES. THAT HEALTH IS REALLY WEALTH. THAT ON A DARK DULL DANK DAY THE SUN STILL CONTINUES TO SHINE. THAT RAIN IS GOD'S GIFT TO COOL THE EARTH, TO HELP VEGITATION. THAT FRIENDS ARE SPECIAL AND EQUALLY A BLESSING AT ALL TIMES. THAT SHARING IS REALLY CARING FOR SOMEONE ELSE. THAT LOVE CREATES A SPECIAL BOND BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE. THAT WITHOUT FAITH LIFE IS VERY BARREN. OF HOW MANY OF THE ABOVE CAN YOU BOAST - Hopefully most of them. Bless you! |
Most young people like to receive money when they celebrate special occasions. Whether it is a birthday, graduation or Communion Day. Most prefer money so they can buy what they like. Unfortunately not everyone understands money or its value. DO YOU?
Is each number a multiple of 3? Yes or No. 1,746 43,709 111,999 2,876,973 Funny one: HOW MANY COWS? A farmer has cows and chickens. There are 18 animals in all. Together they have 48 legs. How many of each animal does the farmer have? Correckt the fololwgin snetneecs. High dlidde, dlidde, het tca nda the ddfile, the owc umjpde vero het nomo. The liltte ogd alguhde ot ese usch nuf nda the tac anr waya iwht the poons. Not all that easy - was it? When I say Minnie...what do you say? YIMKCE! When I say Dog...what do you say? TCA or Nma? If I add 4 to 16 and multiply my answer by 5 and then subtract 15 from my answer with what am I left? If I add another 15 and then give half away how much do you think I will have? God gave us 10 commandments. The church gave us 6. We have 7 Sacraments. Do you know them? John Henry Cardinal Newman, a famous English man, who converted from Anglicism to Catholicism, once wrote the following: May he support us all the day long, Till the shades lengthen and the busy world is hushed And the fever of life is over and our work is done, Then in his mercy may he give us a safe lodging And a holy rest and peace at last. Amen The Last Supper All Christians know about the Last Supper - Do you know why it was called the Last Supper? Read about it in Luke 22: 1-38. Grace Before Meals: Bless us O Lord, and these your gifts, which we are about to receive from your bountiful hands, through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Grace After Meals: We give you thanks Almighty God, for all you benefits who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen. |

SAYINGS: Most of us like to use different sayings or quotations. It brings a certain brightness to our conversations and many times impresses our listeners. There is, however, a different side to using such expressions. They are intended to express more fully what we are trying to say. So perhaps the following will help you IMPRESS when you are next in a serious conversation. Men have sight; women have insight. Women's styles may change, but their designs remain the same. There is no limit to the power of a good woman. Women were created to chasten men, not chase! You must be captured before you can be liberated. The shortest way to a man's heart is through is stomach. Success is achieved through much hard work. Don't decry the dark, light a candle. One small light is a flicker, many small ones bring light. History has a habit of repeating itself. Before you can rise up, you must be down. Nature equals Green leaf, Brown leaf or nature's cycle. If one apple a day keeps the doctor away what will two do? Every dog barks at his own front door - ask the mail man! Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise! If a cat has nine lives how come it dies only once? Nature breaks through the eyes of a cat. A red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Water under the bridge, is water someplace else! |

In multiplication in Algebra - you add the indices! However... in division in Algebra you subtract the indices. Don't you just love it when things are so EASY? Math is an easy subject -you make it difficult in your mind. Oh YEH!? Go back to basics and you'll love MATH with a passion! Do you mean it? |
