Thanks very much Denise. I have already looked at this but you'll find you have to purchase the information. I was hoping to get the info off the net for free :wink:

The second link (universalis) has the office for free too. It is what I use if I have need to pray the office. I have a book, but it confuses me as to which page to turn to etc. The only thing is that at this website, it is all done for you. If you are trying to learn for yourself which pages to turn to in the book, you will not learn that there. The paid part of the website has more translations, downloads, daily emails, apps, etc. But I don't mind just using the webpage every day. The links for the office only like to that day are in the upper right hand corner.

I'm glad to see you here. You should check in more often and post from time to time. :D

Cameron, hope you stick around now.

Listen, all the bad weather in Australia, is your family okay? Also, MarieT, our other administrator lives in Australia and we have not heard from her since before Christmas. We are terribly worried about her. How can we find out if she is alright? A member here thinks she found Marie on facebook but there has been no entries there since December 15th.

Blessings

Hi Denise, Im not sure about Marie. Melbourne is a long way south from here. I know they didnt cop it as bad as we did here. I faired ok but our suburb here, Goodna, was one of the worst hit. We lost our entire shopping and business centre to the worst floods since 1974. I know so many people who lost their houses. But because Goodna is a moderately low Socia- economic area, we recieved help last and recieved little media representation which made a lot of the locals very angry and you cant blame them! It seems a class system is developing here. I hope you can locate Marie though! Maybe she moved? I'll pray for her too. God bless you all over there.

Thanks Cam. I am so worried about Marie. Knowing her, she probably went to help those in need. That is the way she is. I just pray she is safe.

It had only been several months since she lost her beloved father when this storm hit, so either she is without use of a computer or she just doesn't want to be in communication with anyone. She was having a tough time emotionally after she lost her dad.

I am so glad you are alright, Cameron. I know what you mean when you said,
It seems a class system is developing here.
Sad, very sad.
