Joseph community since we had two (2) reasons to celebrate! Not only did we celebrate our Patronal Feast of St. On Sunday March 15th, 2015, history was made for the St. My pray for you all is that you allow your hearts to be silenced from the things of the world and listen to the voice of God as he is calling us to do HIS will. Mary answered the call from God through the Angel Gabriel with an answer with any limits or restrictions and look at what that one simple answer has done to her life, not only made her the mother of our Lord, but our mother as well and the Queen of all heavenly natures including saints. It is often like a tug of war that takes place with our spiritual beings because God wants us and the world also wants us. ![]() However, we have also been given free will and it us up to us to decide which choice will be made. You see, God calls each and every one of us and all we have to do is answer that call. It was on this day, The Annunciation Day, when Mary said 'Yes' to God and ever since, her life has been magnified and that is first hand evidence of what happens to one who answers the call of God. ![]() Since, this season is a time of waiting, the Sacrament is very effective at this time to bring us back in gear with our relationship with God. Sin blocks our connection with God and only the Sacrament can lift that sin away and make us sin-free in the eyes of God. What we must realize is that, while it is good to have our physical homes clean, it is also as equally important to have our spiritual homes clean as well and this "home" which I speak of is our heart and soul. The season of Advent falls at a time where we see decorations going up around us - at the shopping malls and the houses to name a few, people are cleaning and painting their homes and many preparations are done at this time for the Christmas season which happens soon after. Another way is by availing yourself to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. By doing this, we allow the graces of Christ to enter into our souls and make us aware how much in need we are of him in our lives. This is our obligation as Catholics - to attend weekend masses. First of all, you can attend Holy Mass as a family. In summary, I'd recommend this comfy setup if you have the time and patience to deal with it afterwards.There are many ways you can make this season a special one for you and your family. No matter how I mess with the inflate/deflate valves, there's always air stuck in the mat. I spend around 20 minutes every time attempting to get it nice and flat and eventually give up. Secondly, good luck ever fully deflating the mat. Yes, my expectations are correct- I know it's not geared towards tent campers and it's not meant to be stowed away and taken out every day. It's more difficult than any pad, tent, or sleeping bag than I've ever used. Once you have it out of its pack sack, you might as well give up on ever fitting it back into it. Where this sleeping mat disappoints is in its deflating and its storage. The size is just right for car camping in my 2000 Toyota 4Runner, and just big enough for yourself and an SO, assuming you're comfortable with one another. In that regard, I see no way it could be more comfortable. Worth It? Depends on Your Time & Patience ![]() Waterproof Compression Bag and Telecompression Bag Note: Even the most elaborate suspension system can only work perfectly when fitted correctly! And as no two backs are identical, we recommend testing backpacks with sample weights in an outdoor specialty shop.ĮXPED sleeping bags come in different lengths and widths, depending on the style, to ensure a good fit for a variety of different users and body types.ĭimensions (closed): 20.1 × 10.2 × 7.5 in Use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the top edge of the shoulders or C7 vertebrae (the one that protrudes when facing down) to the top crest of the hip bone (pelvis). But no rule without exceptions and sometimes a shorter torso length is better, for example in alpine or mountaineering situations where a short back allows easy access to the climbing harness. The center of the hipbelt ideally rests on the hip bone crest (pelvis) in order to bear the bulk of the load (refer to diagram) especially on large internal frame backpacks. Defining torso length is not necessarily critical on a daypack but crucial on backpacking or alpine touring packs, as only perfect fit can warrant transfer of a bulk of the pack weight to the hips. Depending on pack volume and intended use the suspension system of a backpack becomes an essential feature. ![]()
