Family Emergency
Sorry… I’ve been out of town for a few days. My father-in-law is VERY sick and in serious need of prayers. Please pray for him!

An Exercise in Futility
Trying to do the Cheerios book with Grape Nuts.
Just in case you were curious…
The results are in and — no surprise here — I’m carrying a boy. How did I know? Very simple… with girls, I throw up many, many times a day; with boys, I don’t. And with this pregnancy, other than a twinge or two of nausea, I’ve felt nothing. I haven’t been affected by smells… … [Read more…]
Dreams
Dreams are fascinating things. I’ve been thinking about them over the past several days, due to the fact that I’m having lots of those weird dreams brought on by pregnancy hormones. (Does everyone else get those, too?) Normally, I have average dreams — nothing exciting or particularly remarkable about them. When I’m pregnant, however, I … [Read more…]
Before I go around feeling all “super spiritual” and all…

Ash Wednesday
Aggie Catholics has a great list of Lenten resources, which I hope you’ll take the time to check out. And courtesy of that site, I offer you a lighthearted look at Ash Wednesday: Enjoy!
My Reminder
I need all the help I can get. I wish I could say that I remember “whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ…” (Phil. 1:27) all day long, but I don’t. Not even close. So I recently put this picture on my counter. I can’t say that it has … [Read more…]
A Story of Love
If you only read one blog post today… or this week… let it be this one from Enjoying the Small Things, as a mom shares her grief and joy at giving birth to a beautiful daughter who has Downs Syndrome. This is worth it, believe me. It’s a story that should be read by everyone. … [Read more…]
