A dear friend just received a devastating diagnosis. Please, if you read this, could you spare even a single Hail Mary? If you could spare a rosary, that would be better. If you have it in you to spare your Holy Week in prayer and fasting for a man you’ve likely never met but who’s wife and 8 children desperately need a miracle soon, well, I couldn’t ask more of you. His name is Brian.
Stay confessed…
And thank you!
One of my little side quests in life of late has been to capture images of all the American Airlines heritage livery airplanes. I recently snapped this:
Trans World Airlines, AKA: TWA. Admittedly not the greatest shot but it’s still cool to see the livery of an airline that went under 25 years ago getting ready to take to the skies once again.
Unfortunately for aviation geeks like me, American did not absorb such greats as Eastern, Pan Am, or even the iconic “little guys” like People Express or New Yor Air. I loved that red fuselage with the apple on the vertical stabilizer.
Flying home from a work trip yesterday, I encountered a little problem. My suitcase was very obviously over the fifty pound weight limit. That means I would be paying as much as a $200 overage fee. What to do? I had to bring my gear back. Well, I stopped on my way to the airport and purchased a smaller carry on suitcase. Even still, the big case was still over. Do I have a scale? No. But I’ve lifted enough weights to know the difference between fifty pounds and seventy-five pounds. Walking into the terminal I said a little prayer to my guardian angel.
“Friend, can you maybe lift up on the suitcase a little when I put iron the scale?”
Guess what the total weight was….
If you said just under fifty, you’d be correct.
That angel… Always willing to help out.
I come across some bizarre news stories on any given day. This one might just take the cake.
It’s getting weird.

May I also ask prayers for safe travels? I’m flying out on business this evening. Thank you!
