No Easy Street After Baptism

Father Ambrose said last evening "there is still suffering even after baptism". My quiet response was "now he tells me" with my eyes rolling upwards! It is through such individual sufferings or setbacks that we learn to appreciate and experience God's presence.

Well, I can attest to "its not easy to be a Catholic"...my golf game is suffering because I am shooting scores like the famous isotonic drink called "100 Plus". My scores are such because it is difficult to even think of improving the lie of the ball or convieniently forget to add one stroke getting out of the sand bunker i.e. cannot cheat anymore lah! I suppose that's the price one has to pay for being a Catholic. However, someone did say "some good will come out of every suffering"

Well, I am now "well-liked", a huge improvement, good I suppose, by my golf "kakis" because they can shoot lower score than me !

God Bless

Bert, yes its me.
