A few days ago, we were all in the car coming home from church. This is a pretty rare thing. Not coming home from church. Or going to church, for that matter. No, usually the whole family isn’t in the car together. Our daughter has her own car and her own apartment, so usually, she’s …
A couple of months ago, one of our priests, Father Andrew, a young, fairly new priest, announced that he was being transferred. It was very unexpected and in fact, he only had one more week with us. This is very unusual because the general practice is that the new priests are ordained in May and …
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I think God is really trying to get my attention, possibly because I haven’t been paying attention before!

Actually, there were several all connected. It’s almost like God thinks I need to be shaken over and over again until I get the message! Yesterday the priest at Mass was from Food for the Poor. He told stories that broke my heart. Little kids who only have dirt to eat, families where they have …
At Mass yesterday. Usually, we take “art supplies” – a box of crayons and a sketch pad – with us to keep the Boy occupied during what, for him, are the more boring parts. Plus, since the Girl and Beloved sing in the contemporary choir, and they sing at the 6 pm Mass every Sunday …
10/8/08 My husband and I are converts to Catholicism and if you’ve read this blog much, you probably already know that we take all the teachings very seriously. We’ve run into some issues with family members over the contraaception issue, our belief in the Real Presence, the honor we give to Mary and more minor …
Yes, I did mean to blog every day but after two days there wasn’t much to say beyond, here it is, Day three, same ole same ole. We had some personal stuff go on in the family. The Girl came home from college for the weekend. It’s not actually a SUPER big deal as she’s …
