Folks,

    We stomach quite a bit, but what do we really do about it?

    If I may, there is a big difference in Pride & Boldness.   Selfishness & Pride are the 2 biggest roots of all sin.  I regrettably speak from experience!

    It's no coincidence that this is Pride month.  We need to respect and pray for these folks ridiculing our Christian faith and the weak leaders caving in... but we can't allow ourselves to be continually, unjustly stepped on.

    It's not a matter of Pride,  It's a matter of following our Lord's Great Commission and BOLDLY evangelizing in a respectful and peaceful manner.  They will know we are Christians by our Love, in ACTION & WORD.

   We need to go beyond preaching to the choir and sharing our Faith strictly with those we are comfortable with.

   We are called to be Prophets.. "to comfort the disturbed  & disturb those comfortable" - make them think!

  I ask you to step out of your personal comfort zone.

  *   Pray the Rosary
  *   Pray in public, in restaurants at lunch & dinner, at peaceful rallies.
  *   Say "God Bless You" when meeting a stranger or business associate - just because!
  *   Say Merry Christmas, Happy Easter,
  *   Tell people you will pray for them (& do it, right there).
  *   Add a blessing or scripture to your email signature or business cards.
  *   Join a Fellowship Group.. strength in numbers, Ask a friend to your group.

   Step out of the boat,  Have Faith. Get out of your comfort zone.
   Doing nothing only amplifies the problem.  If you are not part of the solution, you are supporting the problem.
   Christ has our backs!

Continued Blessings!
