They enjoyed it greatly but my 9 yr old instantly proclaimed "I need to go to Suzie's house!" At which point the other children began chastising her, only to have her reply "I'm not ALLERGIC to FUDGE... just FAVA BEANS AND SULFA DRUGS!" **sigh**<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness this is the child who loves to go pray the rosary at Church on Wednesdays... so hope remains...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-23331643089594803712007-02-06T10:16:00.000-08:002007-02-06T10:16:00.000-08:00It must be tiresome to Jesus to keep forgiving all...It must be tiresome to Jesus to keep forgiving all that fudging over and over.

Both are important, but the Crucifixion was necessary to the Resurrection. I mean, Jesus had to die before He could conquer death, right?<br /><br />(Please note that I'm not suggesting that sin is good because it gives us something to be forgiven for. I'm simply pointing out that ignoring the unpleasant parts of the Redemption doesn't work.)Kasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252276821520357094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-55657781617113378172007-02-06T07:35:00.000-08:002007-02-06T07:35:00.000-08:00I think you need to focus on the forgivness of sin...I think you need to focus on the forgivness of sin rather than how close did I get.

Didn't they just lump his day in with Washington and call it "Presidents's Day"?<br /><br />We always used to have cherry pie on Washington's Birthday. Now we have to have cherry pie with Laudanum in it.<br /><br />Mr. Ward,<br /><br />Mardei Gras is not only a near occasion of sin, even if you keep your eyes closed, it's the home of "girls gone wild". Just bringing that is a sin.Sister Mary Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580244097177195453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-78363023087536543742007-02-05T07:31:00.000-08:002007-02-05T07:31:00.000-08:00Ahh.. sarcasm.

If there ever was an occasion to party, it'd be for the tall guy with a cool hat, no?<br />I think you left out another sin - you go to Susie's house so you can resist the fudge, and then congratulate yourself for it. Which would be a deadly sin - pride.Milehimama @ Mama Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04755353355022539817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-12319611718112467082007-02-05T05:37:00.000-08:002007-02-05T05:37:00.000-08:00Actually there is a joyous celebration in February...Actually there is a joyous celebration in February, if you live in New Orleans or Mobile — Mardi Gras, which usually falls in February.

I find myself having to <i>explain</i> that I'm being sarcastic. The "punch" is a bit less dramatic if you have to verbally jab someone in the ribs and say, "That's sarcasm...get it?"<br /><br />And it's really good that I'm not allergic to fudge.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591234069872271083noreply@blogger.com
