Quote for the Day:
To pray is nothing more involved
than to open the door;
giving Jesus access to our needs
and permitting Him to exercise
His own power in dealing with them.
Ole Kristian O. Hallesby

Quote from the book, "101 Inspirational Stories of the Power of Prayer"

A nice quiet Sunday - beautiful weather. The first truly nice day of Spring of the Year! Well, maybe the second.. last Sunday was nice too. I was to able to bring my Mom over after Mass today. We had a nice time. Doing nothing. Just enjoying the day. Truly wonderful.

Last Sunday and this one I filmed some bits and pieces of my Mom. If you want to see you can go here. It's nothing fancy. I haven't really learned how to edit anything... so all the blips and upsy daisy shots of the camera when I lost control for a bit are all right there in technicolor.

I am continuing to read Anthony Steven's book, "Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To" and it is wonderful. I have decided I can risk praying that second prayer... asking God to let me be of service to someone else. I guess He is not going to have me jump off the bridge to save someone or at least I hope not. I'm not too good a swimmer.

The book is actually very powerful. I am getting a lot out of it.

Then to make life more interesting... I started reading Anthony's second book at the same time! Actually it "his" first.. but I got it second. It's called, "A Travel Guide to Heaven." Totally good. Totally.

OH! I wanted to ask a favor please. If you have read any of my other books and liked them (don't respond if you didn't) would you mind writing me a few sentences that I could use as endorsement on my web site? To encourage someone who has never heard of them before .. to maybe take the risk of buying one! Please include your name (first will do) and your location...(city, state, country). Thank you so much!

I will post them on the Presale Page and hopefully also use them in other book promotions. You could email them to me at 1srpat@calledbyjoy.com

Blessings of Peace and All Good,
Sister Patricia
