Nicky did a wonderful entry in her blog about our Grandad Danny who was injured onthe Somme, it was funny cos in the car yesterday the Johnny Cash version of 'Danny boy'was on the c.d, thats whats she used to sing to my Grandad.Dan was born in america to George and Rosanna Hill, in Pittsburg Pennsylvania,his father was killed horses racing, (in his forties!!), so the local Freemasons,offered to farm out her Seven children, he had been a member. She brought them all back on the long sea voyage to Ireland, Danny almost dying from sea sickness.She was rather an arguementative woman,and fell out with all the members of her family, ( rather like her namesake, my daughter!! always wore black,and very short.
Danny then, decided the difficult path of marrying a Catholic,being a stauch Protestant and member of the Orange order, this was unusual to say the least! She was actually Ex-communicated from Rome, my mum recalled being at the bedside of a sick brother of Rosannas, the Priest was there and He completely ingored my mum because she was Protestant.So much for Dead religion!
I have spent most of this morning at the hospital, because Ben has had two wisdom teeth out, hes o.k now.
We had a good meeting last night,took a bit of time to get into the Peace of the Lord,we were holding on to too much of the wordly things, we prayed for some of the people we have known for years, and for the ones we see every day who are not saved.God can do it!!!
