In fact in yesterday’s Gospel, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray, fast,and give alms in private so that only our Heavenly Father will see.

Happy New Year (and belated Merry Christmas)! I guess we consider it a good thing that we are having so much fun that it's hard to update this thing regularly!

Anyway, we have posted pics from our Christmas/New Year's cruise online, you can see them here! Our favorite things about this cruise (besides it being a cruise..) was that it went to some great places (we had never been to Belize before, and welcomed the return to Roatan, Honduras), the freestyle dining (no pressure), the great shows (especially the magic show, we will be trying to google how those tricks were done!)!
