  • Happy Friday the 13th!

    Happy Friday the 13th!

    Belief that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day is believed to be the most widespread superstition in the US.  According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in North Carolina, about 17 million people fear Friday the 13th.

    This year, there are THREE of them!   Each, exactly 13 weeks apart.

    Where did all of this fear stem from? It can be hard to tell. There is the basic idea that Friday is considered an unlucky day, and 13 is considered an unlucky number, put the two together, and you have a very unlucky day.

    Folklorists think the dread goes back at least a few centuries, and may well trace its roots all the way to Biblical times, when the 13th guest at the Last Supper betrayed Jesus and caused his Crucifixion, which was held on a Friday. Whatever the origin, by the late Middle Ages both Friday and the number 13 were considered bearers of misfortune. That potent combo, more than any specific association with the date, is what has deemed Friday the 13th unlucky.

    One study in the UK  showed that the actual amount of cars on the road was lower than normal, yet the accident rate was  much higher than normal.  Their conclusion – "Friday 13th is unlucky for some. The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may be increased by as much as 52 percent. Staying at home is recommended."

    Some folks believe this superstition to be hype and urban legend. Some folks choose to stay home and read a good book. However you choose to spend your Fridays the 13th this year, I wish you luck!

  • Prayer for September 11.

    Today is a somber day across the country. There are many memorials and acts of service going on today. I hope that we each can take some time to participate in any way we are capable.

    Blessings,

    Sister Bridget

    Hold on to what is good
    even if it is a handful of earth.
    Hold on to what you believe
    even if it is a tree which stands by itself
    Hold onto what you must do
    even if it is a long way from here.
    Hold on to life
    even when it is easier letting go.
    Hold on to my hand
    even when I have gone away from you.
    –Native American Prayer

    ~~~~~

    We shall overcome
    We are not afraid
    We are not alone
    We shall overcome
    We shall overcome some day

  • Cookies are medicine!

    SEPT2011LAMPS 030 

    I have suspected so for a while, but now I know it for a fact! Cookies are medicine! Well, not all cookies, but THESE cookies sure are, um, I mean were. This is a photo of some cookies made by and sent to me by my mother, Mambo Sam. These cookies were very very special, and they certainly helped me feel much better. Thank you, MaMere. You can see other photos of Mambo's yummy creations here.

  • New Photo Album.

    Hi there!

    Here is a new photo album I posted of some photos from my local cemetery. It may sound a bit weird, I know. But the cemetary is quite old, and has been active for more than 250 years! Stones and markers vary greatly, and I really found some of them interesting. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while, so I hope you enjoy!

    Love,

    Sister Bridget

    This photo is from HIghgate Cemetary in England, not where I live…I could not resist the dog on the stone. though.

  • We Shall Overcome

    Hi there!

    This is one of my favorite songs. Full of strength, courage and determination. Very much like Ogoun!  To me it has always seemed like singing a prayer 🙂 It is one of the songs that is always on my ipod. I was reading a little about the history of this song, and I found it very interesting. An old folk song, "We'll Overcome Someday" was written as a hymn in 1901 by Rev. Charles Tindley, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.  In the 1950's the song was sung on picket lines of striking tobacco union workers across the South. Shortly thereafter, the first recorded version was heard, under the name "We Will Overcome" and was still considered a Spiritual song. The song was also popular during the civil rights movement, having been incorportated into Dr Martin Luther King Jr's last speech. Robert F. Kennedy sang the song while touring South Africa speaking to anti-apartheid crowds in 1966. There are many more stories of this song being sung in times when strength and determination was needed. These are just a few. Now, this song is sung in many contries, and in many different languages. My favorite version is Springsteen's, which he sung at the benefit following the earthquakes in Haiti.

    We Shall Overcome

    We shall overcome
    We shall overcome
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    We'll walk hand in hand
    We'll walk hand in hand
    We'll walk hand in hand some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We'll walk hand in hand some day

    Here we are not afraid
    We are not afraid
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    Darling, here in my heart
    I do believe
    We shall overcome some day

    Here we shall overcome some day.
