First,

In your charity please pray for a dear friend of mine who was recently placed on hospice care. She is a loving mom to many children, a devoted wife, a true friend to all who know her and these may be her final days before judgment.

Please also pray for the victims of the terrible hurricane that ravaged parts of the southeast. We are only now learning the extent of the devastation but it is likely that hundred or maybe thousands are dead.

Finally, pray for the grace of a good confession. We never know when the end will come for us.

Mary, Mother of the Saviour, pray for us!

But it’s time to fly home.

As always, prayers please for safe travels.

She has a prayer request. She has just written a book and would like us all to pray for its success.

St. Rita, pray for us!

The travels continue. Maybe one day I’ll settle down.

Prayers for safe travels, please.

Today I took the kids to visit the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Western Facility. It’s where the money is made.

They don’t allow you to bring any kind of recording device in so we have no pictures.

Still it was nice to see the exact spot where inflation meets reality.

At one point I read a sign on the wall that “The currency here is not legal for use until disbursed to the Federal Reserve System” or some such.

“Does that mean it’s not real money, Dad?”

“Kids… It’s all fake and has been at least since the early 70’s.”

And now you know. And now, so do the other guests at the museum.

Just making the world a brighter place a few kids at a time.

I certainly don’t think he’ll mind if I share a link to this. I encourage one and all to read St. Louis Catholic’s recent “diary entry”. It really made me laugh.
