Why Do They Hate the United States So Much?
Some of my thoughts. Tell me what you think

Let's try Mr. Nicollerat's "4 suggestions about how to make freshman year good"
and make this week's prayer an active one.
So take some time, refect upon these and try to apply these:
1. Do the best you can-including preparing the best you can!
2. Try to put God in whatever you do.
3. When you do something, try to do it for someone else.
4. When you foul up, learn how to forgive yourself.
