Christmas away. This week, we provide another four Christmas lightersides.
One a poem done a la "Night before Christmas", another
a website that teaches the children about Christmas, a third PowerPoint
presentation, complete with decorations, and finally another stab
at the "blondes".

Greetings from the warm, sunny south. Thanks to
your prayers our drive down was smooth and uneventful. The weather
was perfect for driving-clear and dry all the way. Our reception
here by many friends was overwhelming. We will be with John and
Lois Kost, two very special catholic friends, for Christmas dinner.
It is true golfer's weather since we arrived-mid 60's to low 70's
and sunny every day. Wish you were here, Jim. I wish all three
of you were here.
Helen's father is showing some minor improvement
in his condition, which has us feeling that coming to S.C. was
the right thing to do.
Please pass on our greetings to Tom and the priests
at St. Pat's, and to all at breakfast next Thursday.
May the blessings, the peace and the joy of the Lord Jesus be
with you, and with us as well.
Bas.

New VMer from Dartmouth Nova Scotia wants
to share:
Here is a link to the 6-minute song from Toronto's
World Youth Day - beautiful words and a catchy tune I think:
http://www.weltjugendtag-muenster.de/song.html
Also, if you go into 100 Huntley Street web
site and search under Lisa McCrorie-Hogan (the episode is 7194)
and Tribute to Father Bob MacMillan, you'll find an incredible
song by her around minute 54 of the 1-hour broadcast, called
"Dancing Before Him". Some beautiful lines include
"Don't cry for me, I am dancing, dancing before my King!"
and "In this loss I have gained everything".
Both of these songs have served as good inspiration
for me lately.
Here's a link to the area: http://www.crossroads.ca/100hs/2005janprog.htm

Do you remember that last week, I promoted
that catechism? Well, although they sold out very quickly, Jack
has been called a heretic. Read on and let me know your comments.
If our webmaster wasn't walking across Saskatchewan, we would
have 'blog'ged this.
Hi Jim,
Is Jack a Heretic?
So, am I a heretic (or more properly an "apostate")
for offering the Tridentine Catechism? After the flood of critical
and sometimes biting emails I received yesterday, it sounds
like some of you think so.
You can read my rather detailed response on our blog by clicking
this link:

Thanks and God bless, Jack
As many of you know Advent is a penitential season.
That means we are to reflect on and examine our lives, confess
our sins to God, do penance, and then amend our lives. All of
this is done to prepare ourselves for that wonderfully joyous
season when God humbled Himself to become one of us in order to
save us.
Sacred Scripture has seven Psalms that are known as the "Penitential
Psalms." We've created a pdf document of these Psalms to
help you in this penitential season (only one week left!) as we
prepare for the Birth of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Here is the link to get your free document:
http://www.prolifesearch.com/download/Seven%20Penitential%20Psalms.pdf
May you have a very Merry Christmas. Our best to all of your families.
Jack & Joe
