[Goanet] Good Morning

[Roland Francis]

You are absolutely right Bernice!

Johnson and his Jolly Boys closed with either Adeus, or Good Morning or both.

Seared in my memory is Johnson playing Good Morning with the cocks crowing 
outside Clube Harmonia in Margao. By that time in the morning the dancers were 
sozzled and barely staggered out of the Hall.

Here is the original version.

TOP TEN REASONS TO BELIEVE IN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
Author Unknown
August 10, 2011


1. The Credibility of Its Founder: Peter spoke for Jesus' closest
followers when he said, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words
of eternal life. We believe and know that You are the Holy One of
God." (John 6:68-69)


2. Reliability of Its Book: The integrity of this historical and
geographical record is supported by archeology. The Bible continues to
speak not only with spiritual power but with convincing prophetic
accuracy.


3. Explanations for Life: It is the Christian faith that reflects a
caring attention to detail so evident in the species and ecosystems of
the natural world. It is Christ who clothed himself in our humanity to
feel what we feel and then to suffer and die in our place.


4. Its Continuity with the Past: The Christian faith offers continuity
with our deepest ancestral roots. Those who trust Christ are accepting
the same Creator and Lord worshiped by Adam, Abraham, and Solomon.


5. Its Foundational Claim: The first Christians were witnesses. They
risked their lives to tell the World that with their own eyes they had
seen an innocent man die and then miraculously walk among them 3 days
later.


6. Its Power to Change Lives: Not only were the first disciples
dramatically changed but so were their worst enemies. Paul was
transformed from a killer of Christians into one of their chief
advocates (Galatians 1:11-24)


7. Its Analysis of Human Nature: The Bible says that society's real
problems are problems of the heart. In an age of information and
technology, failures of character have scandalized institutions of the
family, religion, and the arts.


8. Its View of Human Achievement: Generation after generation has
hoped for the best. We have conceived technologies that will deliver
us from the oppressive slavery of work. Yet we are as close as ever to
what the New Testament describes as the end times. (Matthew 24:5-31)


9. Its Impact on Society: From roof tops to necklaces to earrings, we
see the sign of the cross, bearing visible witness to Christ's death.
Social relief agencies have been fueled by the direct or residual
values of The Bible.


10. Its Offer of Salvation: No other faith offers everlasting life as
a gift to those who trust the One who has overcome death for them. No
other system offers assurance of forgiveness and adoption into the
family of God.

[Goanet] GOOD MORNING! The layman's ten commandments to follow in life all the time

LAYMAN'S TEN COMMANDMENTS



Someone has written these beautiful words.  The piece is a must read.  Try to 
understand the deep meaning of it.  They are like the Ten Commandments to 
follow in life all of the time!



1.   Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is 
a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout the journey.



2.   So why is a car's WINDSHIELD so large and the Rear View Mirror so small?  
Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE.  So, Look Ahead and Move on.



3.   Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes a few minutes to burn, but it takes 
years to write.



4.   All things in life are temporary.  If they're going well, enjoy them... 
they will not last forever.  If they're going wrong, don't worry... they can't 
last long either.



5.   Old Friends are Gold!  New Friends are Diamond!  If you get a Diamond, 
don't forget the Gold!  Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of 
Gold!



6.   Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above 
and says, "Relax, friend, it's just a bend, not the end!"



7.   When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD 
doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.



8.   A blind person asked St. Anthony:  "Can there be anything worse than 
losing eye sight?"  He replied, "Yes, losing your vision!"



9.   When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and 
sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for 
you.



10.   WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES... it takes away today's 
PEACE.



If you really enjoy this, please pass on to others.  It may just brighten 
someone's day... Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly, and 
Leave the rest to God.

GOOD MORNING




















I see clearly that the 
thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to 
warm the hearts of the faithful ... I see the church as a field hospital
 after battle.
Pope Francis, September 30, 2013, interview, America magazine
























Disability and Belonging 

   


















   John Swinton

The task of disability theology is not to transform the world through
 politics, economics and worldly power, but to be faithful to the task 
that is given to it…. And the task that is given to the disability 
theologian is to help us to see properly what it means to be a human 
being; to help us to understand that many of the things that we are 
taught by culture are false; that to be human is much more interesting 
and much more complicated than the simplistic way that culture tells us 
it should be.



One of the problems in the conversation around disability is that we 
mis-name things, and when we mis-name things, we end up with stigma, 
alienation and false names…. The problem is that once you have a 
diagnosis, that becomes your name. And as soon as you’re schizophrenic, 
you’re on a really strange social tangent, not because of your illness, 
but because of the way that people see and understand that particular 
name. So if we begin our journey as lay people with diagnosis, and all 
of the social stigma that surrounds that, then we’re beginning in the 
wrong place.



What does it mean to be a human being who lives within a human body? 
Genesis shows us that human beings are created by matter but inspired 
and brought into existence by the very breath of God. So we are our 
bodies and we are our souls. And there’s something important and 
beautiful about that.



If that’s right, then every moment that we have together is in a real
 sense, a holy moment. Every encounter we have with one another is an 
encounter that is inspired by the spirit of God. So, animated by the 
breath of God, human beings are seen to be holy creatures, living among 
other holy creatures in a world that is holy. That means that your body 
is holy. Your very bodyliness is sustained by God. Every-body is holy.



And, when we attend to one another properly, when we recognise one 
another as holy creatures, and these bodies that we inhabit as holy 
places, then beautiful things begin to emerge. Because we begin to 
realise that the diversity of bodies within creation isn’t a stigmatic 
mark of something negative. It’s actually a beautiful thing that draws 
us together….



We talk a lot about inclusion and there’s a very strong political 
movement towards including people with disabilities within our 
community, which is now enshrined in law. So from a legal point of view,
 people with disabilities have to be in the room. But once you get in 
the room, nothing changes, nobody talks to you. To be included within 
the community but to not feel accepted, well, you may as well not be 
included.



To be included, you simply have to be there, but to belong, you need 
to be missed. You need to have a space within your community that is for
 you, so that when you’re not there, people miss you, people long for 
you in the same way as the father longs for the prodigal son. And in 
order to do that you have to have a particular kind of community, which 
is not simply an inclusive community … but a community within which 
people know the different shapes and forms and beautiful bodily shapes 
and accept them, exactly as they are.



I would suggest that the task of the church is not necessarily world 
transformation. That’s God’s task…. The task of the church is signalling
 the Kingdom through small gestures, and these small gestures involve 
naming things properly, understanding the nature of hospitality, 
accepting the beauty of all bodies, all different shapes and forms, and 
indeed the holiness of all bodies in their different shapes and forms, 
and working together to create communities of belonging within which you
 can be proud to be both a guest and a host.

 Loving Our Planet 

   


















  Sally McFague



I believe it is time we shifted our glance on the matter of evil from God to 
ourselves. The great issue before us should be our involvement in
 almost every kind of evil presently occurring on our planet. Whether we
 consider poverty and starvation, genocide, ethnic hatred and warfare, 
racial and sexual discrimination, greed and hoarding, species decline, 
deforestation, air and water pollution, land degradation, global 
warming, and even floods, droughts and tornadoes human beings now are 
responsible, directly or indirectly, to a lesser or greater degree - and
 some more than others - for all of the above.



We should stop fretting about 'theodicy' - how and why God is 
responsible for evil - and consider the increasing and appalling extent 
to which we are. This would be a salutary task for the religions, and 
especially Christianity, to take on: to help us see ourselves clearly as
 the oppressors that we are. Rather than Christianity focusing its 
concern with evil on God, let us place the blame where, in our time, it 
primarily belongs: on the privileged middle and upper classes of the 
world whose greedy lifestyle is causing greater evil to millions of 
impoverished people and to millions of dying species, as well as to the 
very health of our planet, than any so-called 'act of God' ever has. We 
are bringing about this evil continuously, silently, and insidiously 
simple by living the way we do.



So how can we not despair? What possible prospects are there for any 
significant changes occurring? I began this book with two quotations: 
one from Irenaeus, 'The glory of God is every creature fully alive' and 
the other from Bishop Serapin of the fourth century, 'We beg you, God, 
make us fully alive.' The first statement is the prophetic one, the 
description of life as it should be and as we, God's helpers, should 
make it be. But the second statement is the sacramental one, the trust 
that God is able to bring this about, through our willingness and work. 
In other words, we are not alone. 



The prophetic witness of God in Christ tells us what we must do; the 
sacramental embodiment of God in Christ surrounds us with God's 
empowering presence as we attempt to do it. The first and last words - 
the words of creation and resurrection - are Yes, not No. The No is 
enclosed within the Yes: we only discover what sin and evil are as we 
realize the joy of God's love, the love of others, and the love that is 
the world. That is the reality that I have gradually come to realize 
over the last fifty years; it is not what we must do or can do, but what
 God can and does do through us. 



We are instruments of divine love and reflections of divine glory. We
 were created in God's image, in the image of love, and our goal is to 
grow more fully into that image by loving each other and the world in 
concrete, practical, daily ways; in other words, in just and sustainable
 ways. But we are not left on our own to do this: God is with us, all of
 us, every second of every day. Our task is to become aware of God's 
presence. As we do so we will both see the world differently and be 
empowered to act differently in and toward it. We are called to see 
differently - and then to live differently, as differently as we can, 
with God's help.
