Albert Schweitzer<\/strong><\/p>

Things DO NOT HAPPEN FOR A REASON (unless you are playing a board game that is, and that\u2019s usually because you didn\u2019t roll good dice \u2014 however, no more board gaming, it\u2019s time for some serious kitsch).<\/p>

Albert only advances if you VOTE for this awesome stuff that can only be found courtesy of Google.\u00a0 In order to be like Albert, you need to pray like Albert and that includes praying for animals too.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

To be like Albert, you need to Quest for Jesus. If you aren\u2019t sure where to start, you can play a real life quest game in the \u201cLife of Christ\u201d (I know you said no more board games, but I couldn\u2019t resist).<\/p>

Also, it wouldn\u2019t be fair to expand your depth of faith without also trying to look like Albert.\u00a0 You can get your Albe\"\"rt Schweitzer moustache here<\/a>.<\/p>

To be like Albert, you also need to like cats (and dogs \u2014 I\u2019m not going to lose this vote over a cat vs. dog fight) and drink coffee.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>To be like Albert, you should also dress like Albert, while you spend Albert money on the poor.<\/p>

And while you are dressed like Albert and look like Albert and pray like Albert, you should care for the world like Albert, because the most important gift Albert left the world was love. He knew that if you sprinkled that care, compassion, intentional faith, walking in service to others in dark and ugly places, that\u2019s where you will find true happiness\u2026and consequently, where you find God as well.<\/p>

\"\"Joseph Vaz<\/strong><\/p>

In 1677 Joseph Vaz consecrated himself as a “slave of Mary”, sealing it with a document known as the “Deed of Bondage”.<\/p>

You may never have Googled the term “Deed Of Bondage”, but we can tell you from experience that you should be prepared for what is revealed.<\/p>

\"\"Moving on from such murky waters, you can remind yourself and educate others with the St. Joseph Vaz Classic Round Sticker<\/a> (available in sheets of 20 for those with\u00a0 missionary zeal.)<\/p>

Other shapes are available, but they appear to be the round picture with a mask over it, so you have been warned.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

If you’ve got US$18.01 (plus postage, ironically) burning a hole in your pocket why not purchase this block of four stamps issued in Sri Lanka to commemorate the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1995<\/a>?<\/p>

Lastly, embody your veneration with the St Joseph Vaz Patron Saint Block (with gift bag!<\/strong>) and of course the Resin St Joseph Vaz Catholic Idol<\/a>\"\"<\/p>
