Perfect timing with the Pope. He's on twitter now... I wonder if they'd take confessions there? Congrats on the win...

Well Linda, I think he would close up shop and take a week's vacation in order to recuperate and get his sh-t together...

I wonder what you would be whispering in his ear PD; I have enough trouble confessing to God without doing it with a man. Has anyone ever figured out who the pope confesses to?

Nice words written here. It would be nice for the Pope to hear our confession. I wrote a poem for Pope John Paul. I use to like him until I found out certain things about him. But I'm no one to judge. Many blessings to you. Lucilla

Oh look, a spiritual poem!! I had to comment on your entertaining S_____ on my Lake of Fire write. I have to simply agree with you, PD...The difference is this for me...Does the message of the poem point to the Heavenly Father and give Him glory?...or that other guy?...Oh my,...I could talk to you for hours about spiritual things in my life...I have made a kazillion mistakes and God has held me in the palm of His hand...the consequences are not erased...His love is there constantly tho! I wish I spoke espanola and could write poetry in it too. :)
