Strange, sad, and disheartening...

I used to be friends, very good friends from what I could tell, with someone online. We had known each other for years. I had to pare-down my internet usage, i.e. boards, blogs, FB, etc. and I de-friended almost everyone off of my FB, except people I had known in real life, church, etc. I needed to re-prioritize my life. Everything has been going well, so I decided I thought it'd be great to add everything/everybody back in to my online life. I was so excited that so many of my online friends were ready, and willing, to pick up our online friendships, just as if they'd never been put on hold. Save for one. And that one saddens me. I even sent her a message, apologizing to her if I had ever wronged her in any way. I told her I would leave it in her court as to whether we would be friends on FB or not. I expected at least a short reply. What I got though, was what appears to be being blocked. She no longer shows up on mutual friends' lists of friends, as she was this morning. I doubt she has gotten rid of her FB page.

Anyway, I don't mean to rant, or drone on. I just really missed her, and had hoped we could get back to our friendship. I will just have to lay this at the Lord's feet and see what happens. His plan isn't always mine.

Thanks for listening to me ramble on.

Excellent Article regarding Holy Communion in the hand

http://www.catholic-pages.com/mass/inhand.asp

My son actually received his First Holy Communion on the tongue, by his own accord. I also receive the Eucharist in this way. I remember when it became the "norm" to receive it in the hand. It always bothered me, but my parents had told me to do it, because "that's what everyone else is doing".

Anyway, read the article. It's long, but well worth the read.
