The hard way is usually the best way ...Hi, Bijoux!<br /><br />The hard way is usually the best way to learn--though it can leave a lot of damage in its wake.<br /><br />St. Martin de Porres was born in Peru in 1579, the illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman and a freed slave from Panama.<br /><br />I'm not sure how my old Italian grandmother came to love him so, but love him she did! <br /><br />Take care and Happy New Year!Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-6008496596649834182013-12-30T07:49:17.880-08:002013-12-30T07:49:17.880-08:00First, not being Catholic, I had no idea there was...First, not being Catholic, I had no idea there was a St. Martin, or that he was African American? Where have I been?<br /><br />I learned the hard way that one should never drop ANYTHING on ceramic tile when we moved here. It shatters Corelle like you wouldn't believe.<br /><br />Happy New a Year!Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788630004051883635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-72894166166053207212013-12-29T18:46:34.112-08:002013-12-29T18:46:34.112-08:00Hey, Ron, I knew you'd get a kick out of this!...Hey, Ron, I knew you'd get a kick out of this!<br /><br />"No worries, Ronnie Boy, all is well. You didn't hurt me."<br /><br />Yes, exactly! Jesus believed in love, not punishment! We get so twisted about how God will react and we forget that He is all merciful.<br /><br />I hope you're right about God having a sense of humor! Wouldn't want to make him mad!<br /><br />Take care, buddy! And take care of the Sacred Heart!<br />Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-4067780261647665472013-12-29T18:32:20.426-08:002013-12-29T18:32:20.426-08:00Rob, the way you wrote this post, CRACKED ME UP!
...Rob, the way you wrote this post, CRACKED ME UP!<br /><br />And being someone who was raised Catholic, I know how you feel about the statue of St. Martin because I have a picture of the Sacred Heart in frame on my window sill, which I have occasionally knocked over and onto the floor. Well, you should me. I instinctively grab the photograph and kiss it, and then say, "I'm sorry Christ that I knocked you onto the floor. Forgive me." And then I laugh because I almost hear Christ saying, "No worries, Ronnie Boy, all is well. You didn't hurt me."<br /><br />"I had pointing the hands out, like St. Martin was about to dive off the Brooklyn Bridge...'<br /><br />OMG, that made me laugh out loud! <br /><br />And so did the glove on the floor with the middle flexed. HILARIOUS, Rob!<br /><br />I think your is right, “Grandma was not a small-minded person,” she said. “And neither is God.”<br /><br />And I also think God has a sense of humor. And bet He was laughing at this post saying, "Rob...I love the way you write!"<br /><br />GREAT post, Rob! And have a super week, buddy!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.com
