Did You Know...

 Happy Friday to all! There is much to celebrate today here in the office. It's Friday, Cuban Coffee, Brian's wife's due date, and the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary.We have had our guests back today as they are working on their video. So the office has been filled with much excitement!

October 7th- Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary/Victory

On October 7th did you know...

 1. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Check out our friends at Catholic Fire, for a great explanation on why we honor Our Lady today. 

 2. 10 years ago The War in Iraq started. Ironic it started on the Feast day of our Lady... I think not! With our Heavenly Mother's aid there will be peace in Iraq, it may not be as quick as we want it. "I believe that the Blessed Virgin chose to be known as "Our Lady of Fatima" as a pledge and a sign of hope to the Muslim people, and as an assurance that they, who show her so much respect, will one day accept her Divine Son too!" Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

3. Brian's wife, Cristi, is due today with her 6th child! We know the baby is a boy, but no official name yet. Please keep her and the baby in your prayers! We pray for a safe delivery! 

 

  "In 1954, Joanne Schiebel was a young unmarried college student who discovered that she was pregnant. In the 1950s, her options were limited. She could have had an abortion – but the procedure was both dangerous and illegal. She could have gotten married, but she wasn’t ready and didn’t want to interrupt her education. Joanne opted, instead, to give birth to the baby and put him up for adoption.

And so it was that in 1955, a California couple named Paul and Clara Jobs adopted a baby boy, born out of wedlock, whom they named Steven. Choose Life.
Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs..."

    What a powerful testimony to the importance of choosing life in every situation. Steve Job's the owner of Apple inc. passed away on October 5th, 20011. He battled Pancreatic cancer and liver ailments. If his mother had aborted him, we would not have our iPods, iPad, Mac Books, iPhones, iTunes, and Pixar. Steve Jobs helped fund Pixar when it was struggling financially in the beginning. If Steve Jobs had been aborted we would not have a Pro-Life Movie. As most of you know we have animators from Pixar doing free lance animation for our movie. Steve's wife and children will be in our prayers. 

We pray that you have a great weekend and please remember to keep the Shields family in your prayers and for a safe delivery.  ~Lumen Crew
