As always, I point you to Catholic Culture for more on this feast day, and in particular the prayer of Enthronement: O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thou didst reveal to the blessed Margaret Mary Thy desire to rule over Christian families; behold, in order to please Thee, we stand before Thee this day, to … [Read more…]
It was so nice of him to leave a note…..
I’m afraid that this will be a rather common theme seen here on my blog: Ouiz learns, yet again, that it is simpler to FIX a problem rather than complain about it. You may remember my kitchen cabinet. For 14 years I complained about how ugly it was, and how cute it could be if … [Read more…]
According to my pedometer, I have walked 12,004 steps today. That translates into 4.54 miles, 392 calories. Take away the wonderful walk that my friend and I took this morning, and I’m still left with over TWO AND A HALF MILES just here in my little house! That is just unbelievable to me. No, I … [Read more…]

Please pray for Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. Yesterday afternoon his youngest daughter, Maria, was accidentally run over and killed in her family’s driveway.

“Christopher, quit flushing burps down the toilet!” [Yes, that was uttered by me and yes, I was serious. He has been doing this all day long… running into the bathroom, burping into the bowl, and flushing, much to the hilarious amusement of his siblings.] Unbelievable!
It started with a prayer the night before: “Lord, You know how birthdays can be disappointing for me, and I don’t want to be ungracious… so I’m just going to offer You all my disappointment. Please help me to smile tomorrow and really mean it.” WELL. Care to see what the Lord (and my family … [Read more…]
OK, it’s cheesy to wish myself a happy birthday, but birthdays are incredibly important to me. Now that I am solidly in the “40s” camp (well, not *technically* until 7:00 pm tonight… the 15th), they are still important… but a bit depressing as well. [how did I get to be in my 40s????] It’s probably … [Read more…]
