Thanks everyone! 3dge, I'll use my imagination on the "fancy image."
I've been pigging out all weekend. Yesterday I had a free meal at Captain D's, then today went to a local Italian restaurant that gives you a free meal for your birthday - they have garlic rolls that are to die for (not only dripping with melted butter, but sitting in a pool of it), and I must have had at least six. That was followed by a free donut and coffee from Krispy Kreme, and I have a free meatball sub from Firehouse Subs for a late dinner. (There's a thread in this forum someplace about places that give you birthday freebies - many are good for your entire birthday month.)
Anyway, I don't want to sound like I'm ungrateful or anything, but...
A friend of mine, who is very Catholic - right down to the scapular hanging from her rear-view mirror - had lunch with me. She knows I love the Lord and am really into Bible prophecy, and she gave me a birthday card, telling me there was something really, REALLY special in it that she knew I'd love and appreciate appreciate. Well, my first thought was, "OK, a gift card - great!" I mean, what else could fit in a card, right?
It was....
Ready for this?
A Mass card.
I appreciate the thought, but I really don't see where giving money to the RCC for prayers to a false Jesus for my birthday is supposed to make me feel good. I'd rather she had made a donation in my name to an animal shelter than give it to the Vatican. I sure hope I didn't look too disappointed.... Anyway, I DO appreciate her thinking of me, but please say a prayer for her salvation.
