I always keep a rosary in the front pocket of my purse. Yes, the same one from post #2. I keep it in there for several reasons: one being so I can take it out and pray on long subway rides and during the many hours I spend at work. The second reason being that if someone ever steals my purse, maybe he'll come across it while he's dumping my poor purse's contents out on the counter at a pawn shop, and he'll be so shocked and touched, he'll convert right there on the spot, vow never to steal another purse again, and track me down and give my wallet back to me.
Well, here's hoping!
Anyway, along with the rosary, I also keep many other important things in that front pocket...like my keys. So I just spent a good 2 hours of my christmas day trying to seperate the two, as they had become so entangled, it was impossible to both get into my house, or pray to the Lord to send me a locksmith.
But it all worked out in the end!
I, like so many of us lowly shift-workers, am manning my post at the radio station this evening, instead of being at home with my family (and the BBQ ribs they so lovingly prepared....the store was out of turkeys...) But, no matter where I am, I know the love of my family, and most importantly, the love of Jesus Christ (happy birthday!) is never too far away.
May the blessings of this season touch the heart of you and your family.
Merry Christmas.
P.S. Note to hand-bag manufacturers - start including a seperate rosary pocket, that automatically ejects the contents into the face of the purse snatcher in the event of...well...a purse snatching...

I hope you haven't given up on comments. Just read all 4 of your posts and love the idea for handbags. Can't wait to hear more about RCIA - it's also great to hear your excitement about your new rosary. I have one in my pocket, my purse, and have recently started making strung rosaries-they don't kink or get caught with keys or other items so easily. Hope you keep up the blog.
