The Seasons: A Poem

Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

Our Final Giveaway from the Real Life Rosary Store

As we announced earlier this week, we will be closing our online store on February 14th, 2020.  After 17 years of selling books and rosaries we decided to bring it to a close for various reasons.

This week will be the last week to place any orders you may need.  Keep in mind First Communions, First Confessions, Confirmations, friends and family coming into the Church, birthdays, Christmas, etc.  Watch our Facebook page for special sales throughout the week.

For those of you who like to make rosaries, all of our twine is Buy One Get One when you use the code "Twine" at checkout.

We'd like to end everything on a positive note so we are holding a special giveaway.  We'll be giving away one of these St. Faustina Peg Dolls and a Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

To enter all you need to do is comment on this blog post.  We'll pick a winner at random from all of the comments on Saturday February 15th, 2020 at 12:00 Noon. 

Don't be selfish though, tell your friends ;-)

Very sad to hear of your closing! Prayers for you and your family in your future endeavors. In 2017 we had the privilege of traveling to Poland and visiting Wadowice, Czestahowa and several of St. Faustina's sites. Growing up in a Polish parish. Sister Faustina has been known to me since childhood. It would be an honor to place her doll in my Polish Saints display.

Thank you for all that you have done, to share the gospel, teach about different devotions, share the rosary and so much more. I am trying to do that here for area youth that go to a retreat called Youth Encounter.....a weekend encountering Christ.
