Mass Schedule Oct 5/6 Oct 12/13 Oct 19/20 St. Gregor 11:00 AM 11:00 AM 11:00 AM Englefeld 5:00 PM 5:00 PM 5:00 PM Watson 7:00 PM 7:00 PM 7:00 PM Quill Lake 9:00 AM 9:00 AM 9:00 AM A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though the weather one morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the elementary school. As the day progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning. The mother of the little girl was worried that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school, and she herself feared that the electrical storm might harm her child. Following the roar of the thunder, lightning would cut through the sky like a flaming sword. Being concerned, the mother got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school. Soon she saw her daughter walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look and smile. One followed another, each with the little girl stopping, looking at the streak of light and smiling. Finally, the mother called her over to the car and asked, "What are you doing?" The child answered, "God keeps taking pictures of me." 
