FOR TWO YEARS A MARRIED MAN WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH AN ITALIAN WOMAN.
One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to
ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money to
go to Italy and secretly have the child. He said, if she stayed in
Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the
child turned 18, and also pay for college. She......agreed, but asked
how he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete,
he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write ''Spaghetti' on
the back in the message area. He would then arrange for the child
support payments to begin.
One day, about nine months later, he came home to his confused wife.
''Honey'' she said, ''You received a very strange post card today.''
He said ''Just give it to me and I'll explain it later.' '
She gave it to him and then watched as her husband turned white, then fainted after he read the card.
ON THE CARD WAS WRITTEN: SPAGHETTI, SPAGHETTI, SPAGHETTI, SPAGHETTI,
SPAGHETTI. THREE WITH MEATBALLS, TWO WITHOUT. PLEASE SEND EXTRA SAUCE!!!
Everybody have a groovy weekend!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
