I derive a special pleasure in donations that come from my “protest” buttons.  It’s all a game, of course, as you know.  But the foundation of the game is serious business indeed.

Some books have come in and items from my amazon.com wishlist, such as a small bottle of good olive oil.  What a difference it makes!  I had a priest friend over for supper the other day and used the oil. However, more and more often its seems amazon is not including a packing receipt with the name of the giver.  I am, therefore, obliged to address myself to the guardian angels of the senders, who know who you are.

Many thanks to all you readers for your prayers, thoughtful (mostly) comments, and regular visits.

I also want to thank those of you who used my link to go to donate to the US Archdiocese for Military Services.  I had a nice note from Archbp. Broglio thanking us all for the encouragement.
