THIS HAS BEEN A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER WITH TWO EXCEPETIONS. THE NFL LABOR DISPUTE AND THE CURRENT DEBATE IN CONGRESS. IN THE CASE OF THE NFL I FOUND IT VERY DISTASTEFUL, TO SAY THE LEAST,THAT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, SO MANY WORRYING ABOUT HOW THEY ARE GOING TO PAY THEIR BILLS, GROWN MEN ARGUED OVER HOW TO SPLIT 8 BILLION DOLLARS....SHAME ON YOU. I HOPE THEY HAVE THE HONESTY NEVER AGAIN TO SAY THAT THE FANS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT....THEY SHOWED THEIR REAL COLORS.
IN THE CASE OF THE DEBATE DEBACLE I WOULD LIKE TO QUOTE FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FAREWELL ADDRESS:POLITCAL PARTIES SERVE TO ORGANIZE FACTION, TO GIVE IT AN ARTIFICAL AND EXTRAORDINARY FORCE; TO PUT IN THE PLACE OF THE DELEGATED WILL OF THE NATION, THE WILL OR A PARTY, OFTEN A SMALL BUT ARFUL AND ENTERPRISING MINORITY OF THE COMMUNITY.
HOW SMART PEOPLE PERMIT THEMSELVES TO BE TRAPPED IN A WEB OF STUPIDITY IS BEYOND ME....IT MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER IN DC.
About Me
- fr.Bill,ofm
- It really is about time I got to do this profile. Because of the nature of the animal there are going to be a lot of "I" please excuse. I was born in NYC many years ago. I entered the Franciscan Order, Holy Name Province, in July 1960.ordained a Franciscan Priest in 1966. Shortly after Ordination I was sent to Japan where I spent the next glorious 28 years working as missionary. In 1994 I went to India to work with lepers, Unfortunately, I got sick and had to cut my stay short.The next stop was the Holy Land. Two more very happy years. Finally, after 30 years out of the country I returned to the States. My first posting was to a Chapel in a shopping mall outside of Albany NY. In my spare time I worked with the fillipino Community in Albany and also with the collegiates at Siena College. In 2002 I was transferred to St.Francis Inn, a soup kitchen run by the Franciscans of the NY Province.
