Our first time doing it we used either 1% or 2% milk because that's all I buy. It worked a little (enough for the girls to get a hoot), but it didn't work after the first few drops. I found out why...<a href="http://4real.thenetsmith.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5265&PN=3">click here to read up on the fat content making the difference.</a> So, this time it won't just be something fun to do on the 4th of July. This time we'll have an explanation of fat content in milk (and why we should drink skim milk) which is timely considering their beloved uncle just had a triple-bypass.</p>

<p>And we'll also <a href="http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000066">create a Jupiter storm.</a></p>
<p>And, yes, my children will hollar, "<em>Dad!</em> Mom's wasting the milk again!"</p>
Praying for Matthew Karol
Prayer During Hurricane Season
- Prayer for Hurricane SeasonO God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. The Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen. Originally dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Audrey in 1957. - Fr. Al Volpe, Cameron Parish, LA

Prayer to End Abortion
- Prayer to End Abortion
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself Never to be silent, Never to be passive, Never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, And never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, And our nation once again becomes A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all, Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
