For those of you who don't get the reference:
This time of of the Catholic Calendar, this song comes to mind, especially the week before Holy Week, although I would mention that He did promise a Garden of Gethsemane. I've seen it happen year after year, and judging from the blogs I frequent its happening this year too, that for those who are at least attempting to follow a Christian way of life, the s**t is hitting the fan. I don't know if its God allowing us to participate in His Sufferings to make us become more like Him, or if its that muckraker from the nether regions of existence. I know cow manure does make good fertilizer, but does anyone know if this s**t is good for rose gardens? This inquiring mind wants to know... LOL

Well, Catholics know our lot in life is pain and suffering--with a few roses, but,in this life the roses still have thorns. BTW my rose bushes are not covered by snow any more--I can't wait till they bloom--ahh hope for better days!
You are right! Very timely. Never thought of it that way but what a perfect time for us to be tested and to suffer when we make attempts to be faithful. God Bless....
Our parish warns RCIA candidates and elect that Lent is a time of serious spiritual warfare...so my vote is that it's that muckraker from the nether regions.
And I would say that suffering can be good for spiritual rose gardens, but you have to choose to use it that way. You can just as easily choose to wallow in s**t.
Well, if enough **** piles up around your feet you can start heaving it in other directions!

Too true. I'm with Karen. Fling it!
On both a spiritual and practical gardening note, here's a tip. As with kakka, banana peels (while notorious for causing slip-ups) are also excellent noruishment for your rose bushes.
A goo quote is worth repeating:
"S**t happens. What's important is how you clean it up."
