I hope that my next visit will be a business one, and I know that it would also enhance their spiritual existence, but I don't know if they know that.

We never know what we are going to get when we visit.<br />Hope that they wont take too long to give you the job. <br />Procrastination is like a credit card.

The way you take the time to look with care and concern into others around you. My mother entered the convent for 5 months until a certain short Irishman, me da, convinced her life with him would be better. After 6 kids and a life of not enough money I wonder how often she missed the cloistered life. It does beckin does it not.? (Don't wory about John and Cro.
