My Adventure Book: If it came down to visiting the following places, which would you go to?
Because it’s coming down to it for me …
(Lumped together because I would go both places over a three and a half day weekend trip)
- LaSalette, France/Lisieux, France (chosen because of my special devotions to Our Lady of LaSalette and St. Therese of Lisieux)
- Tuscany, Italy/Florence, Italy…
1. I wouldn’t go here because travelling in France is horrendous.
2. Why go somewhere for the scenery when you could visit a saint?
3. Pizza in Italy wasn’t as good as I was hoping. It actually wasn’t good at all. Neither was the wine.
4. I am biased but this is the only place I didn’t go to and I regret it. BUT there is nothing else to do in Prague besides see Baby J (well, there is a lot of cheap shopping and cool clubs).

the greatest things come to you in the shower.
okay, let’s be real for a second. who you want to have sex with does NOT define who you are. nor does how many times, neither does how few times. chaste or active, gay or straight. that is absolutely not who you are, so there is no need to pretend that it is.
who you are is defined by who you love. purely and simply.
and I choose to love Unconditional Love, Itself.

10 Things We Could Do If We Didn’t Love Porn So Much
So, all together, US adults and teens spend 11.4 billion man-hours per year oninternet pornography alone.
We also spend over $13.3 billion on pornography in the United States every year. And that number is even a few years old.
Here area a few other things we could do with that same time and money:
With that same amount of time (man-hours) we could…
- Build the Empire State building…1,628 times.
- Visit every single one of the 1.5 million U.S. nursing home residents, every single day of the year, for 20 hours a day…and still have free time left over.
- Visit every single one of the 2 million prisoners in the United States, every single day, two people at a time, for 8 hours.
- Have every single person (310 million) in the U.S. spend an extra 36 hours in prayer.
- Spend 3 extra hours per week with each and every one of the 75 million teens and children in the United States.
With that same amount of money we could…
- Provide, prepare and serve 7 billion school lunches. That’s enough to feed over 38 million students every school day of the year.
- Pay for 1.9 million four-year college degrees.
- Build 190,000 Habitat for Humanity homes…in Orange County, CA. Or we could build 7.25 million of them in India.
- Give $13.3 million to one thousand different charities each.
- Feed 1 billion people a meal…70 times.
