Nun Claims John Paul II Cured Her

Just one of those stories I find interesting. A nun who claims John Paul II cured her Parkinson’s disease has been identified.

I’m a not terribly devout Catholic myself. I find these events interesting, but have never really looked into the whole process of declaring a miraculous cure, the process for beautifying a saint, etc. It is interesting seeing the one Pope I can remember aside from the current one going through that process.

Thursday Thirteen - 13 Non-Computer Items on My Desk

Ok, so my desk is a big mess. Here are just a few of the things sitting on it:

  1. Hair brush
  2. Water bottle
  3. Cordless phone handset (hmm… when did I last charge that anyhow?)
  4. Miniature rocking horse
  5. Book - Kids Are Worth It!
  6. Box of envelopes
  7. Crazy Pops (a popup book)
  8. Book about cats
  9. Birthday invitation paper
  10. Tax papers needing filing
  11. Hotpad
  12. Hair band
  13. Box of plant labels

Ah, that was pretty painless. Nice thin about posting things I can see… it takes a lot less time to decide what to add and what to leave out. Posting everything on my desk would have been pretty tough and a much longer list.

Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

For the UFO Fans

France has put all their information on UFOs online. They have some pretty interesting stuff and the site is quite popular already. So many people wonder about UFOs, so this kind of information is great.

I think most countries have some sightings that just cannot be explained, just as other sightings are fairly easily explained natural phenomena. Read the rest of this entry »
