    When I was a boy some adults were joking about the answer to a question.

    The Panama Canal was built on an isthmus in Central America. It was built to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

    WITHOUT JESUS--WHAT A MESS I still remember the suppertime. We were having spaghetti – and what’s spaghetti without adding Parmesan Cheese.

    We can give to God only what he first gave us.
