Words of Wisdom from Cammie

Candidates to Ponder
I’ve been told that we need to support Romney as candidate for president because he is more pro-life than Obama. What if there is another candidate who is truly pro-life? Why wouldn’t he be the better choice? If we are to be principled voters, shouldn’t we stand on those principles instead of putting them aside for  a candidate who probably won’t do much to advance the pro-life movement and pro-life laws around our country?
This came up on my Facebook wall this morning. It has been passed around and around and around, so I have no idea who to give credit to. However, all information is vetted, but don’t take my word for it, look up these candidates yourself.
Of the Eucharist
St. Justin Martyr wrote, “This food we call the Eucharist, of which no one is allowed to partake except one who believes that the things we teach are true, and has received the washing for forgiveness of sins and for rebirth, and who lives as Christ handed down to us. For we do not receive these things as common bread or common drink; but as Jesus Christ our Savior being incarnate by God’s Word took flesh and blood for our salvation, so also we have been taught that the food consecrated by the Word of prayer which comes from him, from which our flesh and blood are nourished by transformation, is the flesh and blood of that incarnate Jesus.”

Bread of Life

On Evil
Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito.Â

Transfiguration
‎…then from the cloud came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.†– Mark 9:7
Happy Feast of the Transfiguration!
Of Cooling
Living in South Georgia, the air conditioner gets turned on in April and doesn’t get turned off until October. It also runs all day long and while we do keep it high during the day time (75 degrees), we turn it down to 71 at night, for sleeping. (I’d rather sweat in the day time than try to sleep when I am hot.)
Our first full month electric bill last summer almost killed me. It was, if I remember correctly, over $350. I understand this is not unusual down hear and have heard stories of $500 electric bills. (What!?!) Â However, I am not one to sit back and pay that kind of money each month, without working to make my house more energy efficient. Last summer we had new windows put in and this past spring we added more insulation.
Let me tell you they both made a big difference. Our electric bill this month was $226. That makes me so happy.
