All Saints Day

Today is "All Saints Day", a Catholic Holy Day of Obligation, which means you are supposed to go to church. We did this evening and stayed for the church supper afterwards and it was actually quite nice. Holy Spirit, our church in Buckhead does that every Wednesday evening and we are trying to go as often as possible given it conflicts with Joe's karate lessons. So we can't go every week, but every three or four weeks seems to fit our schedule. During Mass I was listening to the prayers being offered.......you know, for the recovery of the sick, hear our prayer.. For the well-being our our troops and first responders, hear our prayer, for leadership that actually thinks, hear our prayer. I'm guessing that in Boston, a very Catholic and Democratic city that many Catholics were inserting the additional plea that John Kerry keep his mouth shut for the next week.........well, Karl Rove promised a miracle and John certainly did deliver it. What an absolute idiot! Sorry, but there is no way he can spin what he said into anything except what he said.........so he has now apologized after waiting about a day too long, has a lot of Republicans in arms when they were going to sit out this election...........that John Kerry shut-up until the election is over, hear our prayer!
