“Surfboard – Google it and do it!” was the text message I sent to a friend one day while she was vacationing alone with her hubby! Don’t get it twisted, just because I say I roll with God, doesn’t mean I’m living some boring, stiff, rigid life! I enjoy the surfboarding, listening to my rap music (the unclean versions at times), an occasional glass of champagne, rated R movies, dancing, dirty jokes and going to a Beyoncé concert! I’m enjoying the best of life with God! And it really is the sweet life, where we can have one foot on earth, but because we’re so focused on God, we can have the other foot in heaven! I love the following quote: “We need saints without cassocks, without veils-we need saints with jeans and tennis shoes. We need saints that go to the movies and listen to music, that hang out with friends. We need saints that place God in first place ahead of succeeding in any career. We need saints that look for time to pray every day and who know how to be in love with purity, chastity and all good things. We need saints for the 21st century with spirituality appropriate for our new time. We need saints that have a commitment to helping the poor and to make the needed social change. We need saints to live in the world, to sanctify the world and not to be afraid of living in the world by their presence in it. We need saints that drink Coco-Cola, that eat hot dogs, that surf the internet and that listen to their iPods. We need saints that love the Eucharist, that are not afraid or embarrassed to eat a pizza or drink a beer with friends. We need saints who love the movies, dance, sports, theater. We need saints that are open sociable normal happy companions. We need saints who are in this world and know how to enjoy the best in this world without being callous or mundane. We need saints. –Popes John Paul II and Francis WE ROLL WITH GOD!
