STALLIONS IN THE HEADLINES
Congratulations to junior Paul Murdock who was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout on January 8, 2014. The three member Simon Kenton Council, Boy Scouts of America, and Eagle Board of Review quizzed him for about one and a half hours regarding his Scouting experiences. His Eagle Scout project consisted of painting and remodeling one of Junior Achievement of Central Ohio's Biztown mock-businesses in downtown Columbus. Paul pictured left.

DAILY REFLECTION

 Considered in themselves, tribulations certainly cannot be loved, but considered in their origin, namely in the Providence of the Divine Will which has brought them about, they are to be loved with an infinite love. Just consider Moses' staff: laid on the ground, it was a ferocious serpent; in the hands of Moses it was a wonder-working wand. In like manner, tribulations in themselves are terrible, but considered as a manifestation of the will of God they are indications of love and delight. Likewise, love either removes the harshness of the trial or renders it lovable. (T.L.G. Book 3, Ch. 2; O. V, pp. 112-113
