Pray for Fulton!

Well, I am sorry that none of us have posted for awhile. We have been a bit busy, and forgetful, and honestly, I am a terrible procrastinator.

I would like to share a prayer request with you all.

There is this little boy named Fulton, who is about 4 years old. He was recently burned very badly in a burning barrel accident. He is in pretty bad shape. He has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on over %40 of his little body. His upper body, head and face got the worst of it. He is in a hospital far away from home with his mother. No one really knows how long it will take for him to recover, but there is talk that he may have to be in the hospital for 4-6 months.

I read a recent update from a friend of my mom a few days ago that said he had a fever of 103 and was coughing up blood.

Unfortunately, I'm not in direct contact with his family, so I do not know all the details.

There is a fund raiser going for him. Due to the extent of his injuries, he is going to have to have quite a few surgeries. Here is a link to the fund raiser, and I am going to embed the widget on the side of this blog also. The link also has another link in it where you can see update on Little Fulton. You have to sign up for that though, and I have not done that. http://www.giveforward.com/prayforfulton

Please, Please pray for Fulton and his family. His father also has burns on his arms. His mother is staying in the hospital with him, but many of the other mothers there don't speak English. He also has several Siblings, one of which used to be a pen pal of mine.

Please pray, and if you can, Please consider donating to his cause.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception

This Saturday was the feast of the Immaculate conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Mother. I guess I should have posted this yesterday, but didn't.

Rejoice! For our Mother, Mary was without sin from the very first moment of her life. While we were born with the stain of original sin on out souls, She was not. We have this stain from the moment of our conception, until out baptism. Mary has never had a sin, from the moment of her conception, to today.

For God had chosen her when He created her. Chosen her to carry His son, Jesus in her womb, and raise Him. How could anyone but sinless one carry out this incredible, amazing task.

Where ever you are, who ever you are, what ever your situation in life is, you have a Mother. You may not have the Mother who gave birth to you on this earth anymore, but you Still have a mother. A mother who was created without sin, never made a sin, and was so sinless that she did not even die. God Assumed her into Heaven with her having to suffer death. She was carried up into Heaven while she was still alive, and there she is today with her Son.

What an amazing, inspiring, devoted mother she is. And what an Amazing, inspiring, devoted, awesome God we have, to give us such a mother.

Christ is King!

Christ is King of All! King of the Heavens and the Earth! King of the Universe and all that is in it!

Earthly kings will make mistakes. They may lead the people of their kingdom astray, or treat them wrong. They will eventually die, and another will take their place.

Christ, the King of all, does not make mistakes. He will never lead us astray. He will never treat us wrong. Also, He will never die. He lives eternally and sits at the Right hand of the Father. His rein will last forever.

Some are born into Kingship. Their Father was king and so they were chosen king after him. Others are picked. Still others may have been married into royalty.

Christ has always been King, is King now, And will be Forever.

Knights, we should be Honored to have the opportunity to serve our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, King of the universe and all. We are his Warriors and his Servants. We must stand up to defend our Faith, we must fight against evil. We must do this with a servant's heart. Doing it because our Master, Christ the King wants us to do what is right, and we Love Him.

Love is a wonderful and at times mysterious thing. True love in it's purest form, (and no I'm not really talking about the true love in Fairy tales) Is giving if one's self. We don't want to just do something for someone because we will get some thing out of it. "Oh, if I am kind to this person, they might give me this." "Oh, I don't think I'm going to do this for this person, it will cause me too much trouble." Is not what we would be thinking when true pure love is present.
"This is what is best for this person. I will do it, even thought it may cause me trouble or pain, because I Love them" is what we should be thinking. This love is one of the greatest things.

This true, pure love is the live that our King had for us. So much of this love God has for us, that he sent his son down to suffer and die for us. Jesus Dies for us. For us. That we may have the opportunity to sever Him and one day be with him in eternal happiness.

So on this feast of Christ the King, remember that Jesus is not the kind if King that is going to abandon us. He will not just forget about us. He will not lead us astray. He will help us. He is the greatest King that there ever has been in the history of everything, He is the greatest King now in this troubled and dark world, and will be the greatest forever.

So celebrate! We have the opportunity to be servants and warriors of the Greatest King ever! The greatest most powerful and most loving king.


May the Eternal King of the universe bless us all, and help us the serve him better.
