That always seems to bring Satan closer and, really, I can live without that! If other people want to be in the spotlight and can handle it, cool. Not for me. <br /><br />I post my posts as a witness of how we try to live out our Catholic family life - trying always, even in struggles, to give all the glory to God. Sometimes I succeed, often not but, that's my purpose.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!MamaRochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744850673287667492noreply@blogger.com
