Marathon

January 3, 2011 by Kathy Leave a Comment

After writing the last post, I got on-line to watch the Biggest Loser. I haven’t seen it in a long time (we don’t have TV), so I was surprised to see that they now have contestants run a marathon at the end of the competition. That wasn’t the part that struck me, though. As I … [Read more…]

Any New Year’s Resolutions?

January 2, 2011 by Kathy 6 Comments

I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s resolutions… I don’t know, I guess something about it seemed so arbitrary and fake to me. I can’t remember ever making any when I was younger. This year, however, I want to set some (what I feel to be) realistic goals for myself. 1. Be more … [Read more…]

St. Isaac Jogues and St. Jean de Brebeuf

October 19, 2009 by Kathy 1 Comment

You can learn more about them at Catholic Culture. We had read this book (and I read this one) last year as we … [Read more…]

September 23, 2009 by Kathy 1 Comment

I haven’t had much time at all on the computer lately (can you tell?) but I had to at least post something for the Feast of St. (Padre) Pio! Margaret over at Minnesota Mom has a wonderful miracle story that will give you goosebumps, and this story (courtesy of my friend Malia) is another one … [Read more…]

All Saints’ Day party

October 25, 2007 by Kathy 12 Comments

Last evening we had our parish’s first All Saints’ Day party. The kids were very excited about going, but unfortunately, I was NOT going to be able to sew anything new for them… so it was an interesting experiment to see exactly HOW we could make them into the saints they had chosen, simply with … [Read more…]

“Finding Joy in the Darkest Night”

April 15, 2007 by Kathy 2 Comments

…a fantastic article on Blessed Mother Teresa, and how she lived a life of joy in spite of feeling abandonned by God for 50 years. I know I’ve said this before, but I will say again how THANKFUL I am… not that she went through such a dark night… but that she is left as … [Read more…]

My … [Read more…]

St. Patrick’s Day planning

March 12, 2007 by Kathy 4 Comments

My time in front of the computer has been greatly reduced… and I just have NOT been feeling well lately… which adds up to ONE BORING BLOG as of late. I’m sorry! I’ve been feeling so out of it that I haven’t even made plans for one of the “biggest” celebrations at our house… St. … [Read more…]
