"F-A-M-I-L-Y
Forget About Me I Love You"
-- Fr. Stan Fortuna

I never realized how good I had it. My family life has always been one of love and caring, my father was always there to be a father and my mother always there to be a mother. I may have lost both my grandfathers but I still have two amazing grandmothers to be there for me and my siblings.

I simply cannot immagine not having this structure built on love to make me the person that I am today, but don't be mistaken, I still have a lot to do to become what God made me to be.

I was teaching my Kindergarten P.R.E. class this sunday about how "Butterflies Are Good", and I turned the lesson into a teaching about baptism by comparing people who aren't baptized with the caterpillar and the people who are baptized with the butterfly. It worked quite masterfully if I may say so myself. I then went on to explain how we, those who are baptized, are adopted children of God and how we are in a spirtual family with all who are baptized and all the saints in heaven.

So, on that, I leave you with a kind farewell,

Forget About Me I Love You.

Your spirtual brother in Christ,

Matt Hudson

"What a Gulli-bull"
-- Bugs Bunny

I am giving my blog it's first retraction. I would first like to say that I am quite gullible, I still haven't seen it on written on the ceiling, but everyone tells me it's there. The information below about the pie-in-the-face, more importantly the pie in my face, was just a sarcastic mention that Derek made and kept it up for a the remainder of the night. Needless to say he convinced me, thus I made the post. I apologize to the person who reads this post. By the way thanks for reading, you are the man, or woman, whatever.

Tonight, I found out that I was going to be the Youth Group representative for the pie throwing fundraiser we are having in my Parish.
Yes, me a lowly volunteer Adult Youth Minister, is going to have pies thrown at me for a nominal fee, it just makes you feel loved. Of course when they told me of the idea they didn't mention that I would be one of the targets. I backed the idea when the Youth Director, Derek (from Musings from Memphis fame), told me about it, he said that he would be the target representing the Youth Group, but as things turn out it will be me. Oh cursed day.

Tell you the truth I could care less, matter of fact I think it will be pretty fun to take pies for the team. And besides it goes towards the Youth Group going to Sydney, Australia in 2008 to see the Pope at World Youth Day. I've gone to two WYDs and loved every moment of each trip and can't wait to go to Sydney.

I don't know what this has to do with being Catholic besides being Catholic Rocks and Ben Harper ROCKS!!!
Today is awesome, I found out yesterday that my favorite singer was coming out with a new album today and after class I went and I bought it. It Freakin' Rocks.

Ben Harper put together an album similar to the Foo Fighters "In Your Honor" where the first disc is angry and yelling and ROCKING, where the second album is more mello and from the heart.

He has the most sweet lyrics and is quite possibly the most funkified person I have ever heard of.

Just like to send one more shout out to Ben Harper for being the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)

Say, Say. How is everybody doing? This is my official first post, been working on my idea for quite some time and I finally got down, made this graphic, and here I am writing stuff.

I figured to give some Cradle Catholics a shout out. I've noticed most blogs that I have looked at, such as Musings from Memphis (http://musingsfrommemphis.blogspot.com/) and Musings of a Catholic Convert (http://http://shinwa4u.blogspot.com/), are made by Converts to Catholicism. Not to hate on any converts, you all are certainly Feakin' Sweet, but I would just like to give us Cradles a piece of the pie.

That's my M/O, hope you all (assuming that I won't be the only person looking at my blog) will enjoy my thoughts.

Thanks for coming out.
