The Miracle Prayer Dear Heart of Jesus: In the past, I have asked many favors. This time, I ask you this very special one. Take it Dear Heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken heart, where your father sees it. Then, in your merciful eyes, it will become your favor, not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and your favor will be granted no matter how impossible. Thank you also to the Divine Mercy.

Great Saint Anthony, friend of God, who had the happiness of receiving within your arms our blessed Lord in the form of a little Child, obtain for me of His goodness this favor that I desire from the bottom of my heart. You who were so gracious to poor sinners, do not look on my lack of merit, but consider the glory of God which will be exalted once more through thee, to the salvation of my soul and the granting of the petition that I now make with such earnestness. Amen.

Should home equity loans be used to pay off credit card debt?
C
redit card debt could be compromising the financial security and well-being of millions of individuals. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Americans’ total credit card balance in the second quarter of 2023 was more than $1 trillion, and LendingTree reports that the average credit card balances among U.S. cardholders in December 2022 was $7,279. Average balances are lower but still a concern in Canada, where data from TransUnion¨ indicates the average cardholder had an outstanding balance of $3,909 as of the first quarter of 2023. Effective credit utilization is a vital component of long-term financial health. The average credit card balances in both the U.S. and Canada suggest many consumers are putting their financial futures in jeopardy by relying too heavily on credit to fund their lifestyles. The good news is consumers tend to have a sense of selfawareness regarding their credit usage, as a recent NerdWallet survey of more than 2,000 adult consumers found that 83 percent of respondents acknowledged they overspend. Recognition of an over-reliance on credit could be a solid first step toward eradicating debt, and consumers who own their homes may consider home equity loans or lines of credit in an effort to tame their debt once and for all.
What is a home equity loan? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau notes that a home equity loan allows homeowners to borrow money using the equity in their home as collateral. Equity is the amount a property is currently worth minus the amount currently owed on a mortgage. So if a home is worth $500,000 and homeowners have a mortgage balance of $300,000, then their equity is $200,000.
Why do homeowners consider home equity loans to pay off debt? One of the biggest concerns when consumers wrack up lots of credit card debt is the likelihood that they will end up paying substantial amounts of interest on that debt. That’s because credit cards typically have high interest rates. Indeed, the LendingTree reports that even consumers with good credit may have an APR around 21 percent on their credit cards. That figure only grows for consumers with lower credit scores. Bankrate notes that the average interest rate for a home equity loan is typical-

ly much lower than the rate on credit cards, so homeowners can theoretically save a lot of money by paying off their credit card debt with a home equity loan.
Are there risks associated with using home equity to pay off credit card debt? Though lower interest rates and consolidated debt are two advantages to paying off consumer debt with a home equity loan, this option is risky. Perhaps the biggest risk associated with this approach is the potential of losing a home. Individuals with substantial credit card debt should know that a
lack of discipline when using a home equity loan to pay off debt could result in foreclosure. If homeowners cannot make their monthly loan payments on time, they could lose their home. In addition, Bankrate notes that if a home is sold with an outstanding home equity loan balance, that balance must be repaid at once. Home equity loans can help homeowners consolidate and ultimately eliminate their credit card debt. However, this approach carries a level of risk, so homeowners may benefit from working with a financial advisor to determine the best way to pay off their existing debts. MM23C505

An Extra in the Movie Gettysburg By Joel Bohy Historic Arms & Militaria Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Cranston, RI I was digging through boxes the other day looking for some things I hadn’t seen in years. As I peeled off the old, cracked tape and looked inside one of the boxes, I noticed it contained photos from the past. Interested to see what they were, I pulled them out. On top there was an old album, and in it were all the photographs taken while I was an extra in the movie Gettysburg. I had forgotten I even saved any of this stuff and settled in to reminisce. It’s hard to believe the 30th anniversary of the movie first coming to theatres was last October! Back in 1991, I remember hearing the rumors that an epic series based upon the novel The Killer Angels by Michael
Shaara was in the works. In order to film something of this scale with a large number of soldiers, the producers reached out to the reenacting community. I, with a few other friends, sent in pictures of ourselves in both Union and Confederate uniforms and we were approved to participate. We decided with our work schedules we could only film for two weeks, and we chose the time (they would be filming the Pickett’s Charge scenes. So, in the summer of 1992, I loaded up my car and headed to Gettysburg. The set was just off the battlefield (although the actual charge was going to be filmed on the battlefield). We pitched our half tents with rows of others and prepared for the next two weeks. It was important to us and the producers that we were as historically accurate as possible and knew the days of marching and charging ahead would be grueling work! We were up before dawn every morning and would form up where they were filming and do what we were told to do (similar to actual Civil War military life). I remember it being hot as hell, and many people dropped from heat exhaustion

(also similar to actual Civil War military life). There was a line of ambulances waiting on the sidelines to take care of those who fell (definitely not similar to actual Civil War military life). A director would yell “cut” and the medics would take the person away; then we’d go right back to marching and charging and filming again. At the end of the day, we would head back to our massive tent camp, have dinner, and inevitably drink way too much (which didn’t help with hydration). One night while I was out for the count from exhaustion and imbibing in drink, I woke up to someone dragging me from my tent by my feet. The entire row of tents we were in was on fire, and luckily, they were there to pull me out! I don’t know who it was, but I woke up in the morning extremely hungover, lying in a street with smoldering tents behind me. There are many other stories I could tell, but not enough space to share them all here. Suffice it to say, it was an experience I won’t ever forget, and I met some amazing people there from all over the country, some I am still friends with today. If you’ve never seen it, I encourage you to watch Gettysburg. It’s a great movie, and no, I’m not just saying that because I was in it!
