DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Cheryl: I worked at my parish for 4 years and I'd love to give you some tips. Yes, the first thing you say is "Bless me Father....". Please understand our priests are very understanding and compassionate. Explain this is your first reconciliation and mention you are nervous. You will be surprised at what happens next on your faith journeyl...
Before you go into the confessional, sit down for a few moments and reflect on who you are, where you are and what you're there for. God is always in your heart and knowing and feeling that will make your first reconciliation a blessed event for you and your priest. I hold will you in prayer.

Blessed Sunday to everyone. I'm driving to Norfolk tomorrow to deliver my son's car to him and see his homecoming from deployment. Keep me in your prayers, please. I'll be by myself. I've got Navy Moms phone numbers for Dallas and Nashville that I can call if anything happens around those areas.

I like what he does too. He will not let the inmates have coffee. Says it's a luxury. Some are very offended by what he's doing with the tent city, but he's saving the State a lot of money! The judges here all really like him. All the inmates uniforms are dyed pink. Better than orange!! lol

Hah Ruth, too funny. I worked for Superior Court here in Tucson for 15 years. The last 2 years our division handled the sex abuse cases for the Diocese of Tucson. I retired from the courthouse in 2002 and got a call from my pastor 6 months later to come work for him at our church. I started at the church just in time for the Diocese to file bankruptcy!!
Sheriff Joe is very famous (or infamous?) here in AZ. Charles Barkley, the former Phoenix Suns basketball player just checked in with Sheriff Joe yesterday for a DUI.

Dorothy, I grew up in St. Patrick's parish in Brooklyn--that's Iowa for the rest of you, not NY! There is a sailor's Bible that I've seen. Honestly, with a son in the military, I don't care if it's a Catholic one or not if he'll carry it. I took a peak at the Bishop Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book. I have to get one or two of those. I'm old enough to remember him on TV! My mom listened to him all the time; now I've caught him on the Catholic channel. He still makes sense! One of his great nephew's married my husband's niece. Unfortunately, he can't stay away from the drinking, so he's serving 8 years in Sheriff Joe's tent jail in Arizona. Sorry, none of that is important to this site!

Dorothy, has your son left for boot camp yet?

Ruth, I watched Tiger on HBO when he gave that speech and it was a wonderful tribute to our military and his father. Very heart warming. Hubby was just listening to a conservative talk radio show and they were TRYING to put a negative slant on Tiger's speech, saying he didn't mention Obama. And he didn't. But it was still a great speech. I personally do not think Obama was offended. But that's just me. We have watched Tiger since he was an amatuer and in fact both of my kids are very involved in golf b/c of him
