Today's saint, St. Lydia Purpuraria, was the first Christian convert in Europe, a businesswoman who dealt in luxury goods. She is the patron saint of cloth dyers. Saint Lydia was born during the first century in Thyatira, a town famous for its dye works in Asia Minor, famous for its dye works, (hence, her name which means purple seller). She was a seller of purple dye and was St. Paul's first convert at Philippi. The following is from the Acts of the Apostles: And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul. And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. ~Acts 16:14-15 She was baptized with her household. Thereafter, Paul made his home with her while in Philippi. Lydia was a woman of hospital...
"My Scottish friends say I should be called 'first laddie' because it's the closest thing to 'first lady'." 
GAG! My husband says those two better not count their chickens...., especially the way he disgraced us while in the White House.
ReplyDeleteEsther,
ReplyDeleteI have the same reaction to them as you do. I debated whether or not to put up this photo. Every time I think about the Clintons, I feel sick to my stomach. What depraved characters! If they didn't have so much money and power they would be in prison. It would be really embarassing if these criminals were in office again after that last fiasco. But, if you have enough money in this world, you can get away with practically anything -not so in the next!
