Let me tell you how our room is laid out. There’s the main bedrom, and then a little room adjacent. That’s Michael’s study. (Mine is in a room downstairs.)

Yesterday, I was up there, putting clothes away. Had the baby with me, was letting him wander around. Of course, he went immediately for the study, it having books and all. But then…quiet. I mean, really quiet.

I peak in, and MJ’s sitting there, across the room from the computer, smiling. Hmm. I go do more stuff, and peak again. He’s still there, hasn’t moved, is rapt, his eyes fixed on the computer.

What is it? It’s Michael’s screen saver – slowly changing images related to Divine Mercy. I think it’s this one. "Oh, he loves that," said Michael when I told him. It’s true. We can hope it means good things.

But then, he loves the Weather Channel too. I suppose it will be nice, then – to have a merciful meteorologist in the house. I’d rather have a computer technician, but I’ll take what I can get, with gratitude.
