Davin Winger:
I was brought up in a small rural community in the Texas Panhandle. I have worked on the family farm and ranch most of my life. I have been married to Teague for 24 years and we have three children. Easter of 2001 I was received into the Catholic Church. I was raised and baptized in the Church of Christ. I love to read, visit, watch and referee basketball. I am a meat and potatoes man, but over the years I have come to appreciate chicken, spaghetti, rice, and yes, even casseroles. Recently, we have decided to quit farming, and I now have a new job teaching finance, economics, and investments at Oklahoma Panhandle State University.
A couple of years ago I began working on a Masters of Arts in Theology at Catholic Distance University (CDU) This past summer I began working on my MBA at West Texas A&M University
In 2001 Claude Edward Johnston (Papoo) encouraged me to start writing a email newsletter, I called Mary Mail. Now in 2007 Edward Ryan Johnston my brother in-law has encouraged me to make Mary Mail into a blog.
Most folks just call me Ryan. Teachers, bill collectors, attorneys, and thems that don’t know me call me Edward Ryan…
Good Evening Davin
Thank you for thinking about me. I truly believe in everything Retrouvaille offers.
Peace Love and Hugs from Above

Hello, i just wanted to introduce you to this new catholic novelties website
http://www.religiouslycool.com
What a truly good idea your Edward had.
I shall return again to read more.
Happy New Year!
I’d like to offer this story on my application that brings the prayer on iPhone.
I believe that prayer is Christian and Catholic from spreading. You wonder why you can publish the news and if you can spread it to your friends on your blog.
thanks

Vatican. iBreviary: Church pray with iPhone
Dear Sirs,
Editing and Friends of iBreviary,
iBreviary, as you know, it’s a new application for iPhone,
available from immediately in Spanish, French, English, Latin and Italian.
iBreviary offers the possibility, in a simple way and in a perfect “Apple
style”, to pray in mobility with the prayer of the Breviary.
It offers besides the readings of the Mass of the Day (Missal), as well as the
principal Catholic prayers.
The application, realized by me together with the technician and
developer Dimitri Giani, has got the applause and the encouragement
of the Vatican.
iBreviary has now reached its third updating.
This updating brings important changes:
- available application in version Italian and English
- available readings in English, French, Spanish, Latin and in Ambrosian Rite
- possibility to pray with the Compieta of the previous day
The application is available inside the app store to the price of
support for the developers of 0,79 cents (Euro), destinate to charity (www.dimix.it/ibreviary)
Besides, also Facebook will have his “digital Breviary”. Its name is
“Praybook” and it’s an available application on the most important social
network of the world.
The application allows to pray on line with the same prayers of iBreviary.
Thanks for everything.

I don’t know if you’ll get this…I’ve been looking for an email you write you privately but no luck. So I’ll write here.
I recently delivered a baby that didn’t not live….he was born too soon. I have prayed to Mother Mary, God, Jesus and all the angles and saints. The same people I prayed to to bless my belly with a baby. I am in so so much pain. I’m a good Catholic woman.
I sent a text to a friend tonight that said, “I wish I could get ahold of God’s phone number” He sent a reply back saying “You can….” It’s late 1am here on the east coast…I can’t sleep…and I thought what the heck…I googled “God’s phone number…up came 3:33….the scripture” It’s brought me peace. I will ‘call on him’ It will make me be able to sleep even if for tonight.
Blessings
Molly
