God (via St. Anthony's) Answers A Woman's Christmas Prayer By John Cooper

I'm running between my office and the church decorating for Christmas on Monday. Feeling tired and stressed, I just want to get things set up and go out and buy a gift for my wife.   Kent Ferris from the diocese social action office forwarded me an email from a woman who was desperate. The diocese was closed for Christmas and he asked if I could look into the situation. Her email read, "Hello, I am Missy and I am thousands of miles from home. I have been out in the streets for about a week now. My aunt kicked me out. I have no other family here. I have not slept or ate in days! I have a motor home that I own in Oregon, please, please help me get there." CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THE STORY.

A Little Christmas Humor... It's officially New Year's Eve, you only have a couple of hours to do all the things you will resolve not to do in the new year. My resolution was to read more so I put the subtitles on my tv. My New Year's resolution is to help all my friends gain ten pounds so I look skinnier. May all your troubles last as long as your New Years resolutions?
