    I Have Had Enough
    I apologise in advance for my lack of courage and that I am venting like this instead of being more stoic.  But I have had enough; I have reached my limit.  I feel like I can't take any more.  I am really, really tired, having had little sleep this past week.  I am exhausted by troubles on every front.  I am dreading going to work tomorrow; I am dreading coming home from work.  I am sick of my son's specialists phoning me at work while I'm teaching.  Right now, what I would like, is just a week where everyone is healthy and well behaved.  I have two little boys in my class who want to get expelled and are doing everything possible to hasten that move.  it is a nightmare.  My son has been in … [more]

  • Towards Understanding the Message of Garabandal Chapter 21: THINK ABOUT THE PASSION OF JESUS

    Posted on: December 24th, 2010 at 10:29PM

    This is the last sentence in the Second Message and therefore this will be the last chapter I post on this subjectJust as Our Lord's last wish on the cross was, "Behold your mother", so Our Lady's last wish is, "Think about the Passion of Jesus."Here we we see the great secret of Mary.  If we say, "Mary", she says, "Jesus".  Marian devotion has nothing to do whatsoever with honouring Mary for her own sake.  Mary never lived for herself, not even for one second.  And no matter how holy we are, how much we think we love God, not one single one of us loves Him as much as Mary does.  Honouring Mary is the sublimest way to honour God.  Whatever we give to her she immediately gives to Him, and wha… [more]

  • Converted by Our Lady

    Posted on: November 16th, 2010 at 6:19AM

    In 1975 I was fourteen years old and miserable. We lived in an attractive modern home in a middle class Sydney North Shore suburb. Materially, life was reasonably comfortable. We were fed and clothed, lived in a good area and had plenty to do. But spiritually and emotionally I felt like I was living in a black hole. I am not going to whinge about my dear family, and they are all very dear to me. In those days, we didn't have our act together. Any one of us could look back and say, we could have done things better. We could have had more time, more understanding, more consideration and more respect for one another. I would go so far as to say that in those days we were dysfunctional… [more]

  • Getting to Goal Weight day 314: Crashing Down to Reality With a Thud

    Posted on: October 27th, 2010 at 1:40AM

    October 27, 2010 Crashing down to reality with a thud is what I have had to do a lot of lately. It seems my capacity for self deception knows no bounds. In this case, my GP had obtained a copy of my latest MRI report. The word "severe" did not occur once in it. There was no apparent deterioration. So I kidded myself that things weren't that bad; my Neurosurgeon was catastrophising. But there was the latest MRI staring me in the face from the computer screen. And my Neurosurgeon has taught me to read my scans. As he compared the images with the report he shook his head and said, "This is very naughty. This is severe canal stenosis." And he wrote my last remaining options on paper a… [more]

  • Towards Understanding the Message of Garabandal Chapter 18: AND DO NOT WANT YOUR CONDEMNATION

    Posted on: December 20th, 2010 at 5:36PM

    Now we come to the truth which is all too unpopular these days - the existence of Hell.  And the fact is, Our Lady is worried about us going there. How does the gentlest and sweetest of all Mothers broach this painful subject?  She alludes to the possibility of our condemnation, first assuring us of her great love for us. Condemnation, in turn, alludes to the reality of judgement. First comes death, then judgement, the Particular Judgement.  We will know then the state of our soul and where its eternal end will be.  There is also the General Judgement.  At the end of the world, Jesus Christ, in all His glory and majesty, will come from Heaven to judge all men, both good and bad, and to give … [more]
