When he pulled the statue back up, the key was in Jesus' hand.

That was fun!I haven't made a comment in months but I'm still out here visiting you now and again, learning more about what Catholics believe.In ways some times so different than My own protestant beliefs and other times no difference at all.I hope so much that others can see that also.I believe We can all be standing together praising Him in the gates of His throne room some day when we all get to heaven.So many thousands of others,Catholics and Protestants disagree with Me.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are right...none of us merit Heaven...God's grace is all we have (as a Catholic- a great conduit of God's grace is our sacraments)
DeleteInteresting! I like reading Q&As. It was fun reading your article. My favorite part is about your favorite saint. It's amazing how God make such incredible wonders. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteMoms of many rock!!!! Love to read you though I may not comment often. Women such as yourself are an inspiration and affirmation of what Catholic motherhood should be and often is not. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGeraldine is an amazing woman- but a private one- she is even cooler than she lets on ;)

ReplyDeleteInteresting! I like reading these types of questionnaires too--makes us all think, as to what our own answers would be. Thanks for posting it!
ReplyDeleteI like this one as well. When I read the question "Favorite Bible Verse?" I panicked for a moment. Do I have one? I would be such a sorry Christian if I didn't and then I remembered. I do. "Come. He said." Mt 14:29 Long story behind it. But it carries me through it all.
