Life as a Catholic wife and mother

Trust

The newest Catholic Carnival is up over at Just another day of Catholic pondering. Rock and roll Sarah, you did an awesome job! My mom’s colonoscopy went well, in that she was entirely comfortable and when I talked to her a couple hours after, she sounded perfectly fine. The doctor cleared her for another ten [...]

Some prayer requests

If y’all would be so kind, my dear mom has a colonoscopy tomorrow. Today she begins her preparation for it and is a little concerned about the actual procedure tomorrow (mainly due to my dad telling her horror stories about it). Dad is up in Canada right now, should be back today; since he’s taking [...]

Sisters everywhere!

This weekend has been most amazing. Yesterday I met some of G’s relatives, including his Aunt who is a Sister with the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles. I’d never met a Sister before, and it was wonderful talking to her and spending time with her, as well as everyone else. [...]

Friday Links Goodness

My friend, person who let the Holy Spirit work through him regarding my conversion and Confirmation sponsor, Randy has sent me a link to an article regarding the Carmelite Monks in Wyoming. This article is about the Monks’ coffee endeavors. Read Monks quietly turn out masterful coffee blends and enjoy! Secondly, I came across a [...]

Rough and tumble times

I’ve got a mild sinus Issue going on, resulting in a delightful headache. Hot tea seems to be helping, though. It seems that the more I resolve to eradicate certain things, the more that the Evil One kicks up the resistance and the temptations. One of the best things is to put the Light of [...]

Headcovering update!

Still alive, still covering. I realized it’s been a while, so here’s a little headcovering update. The ripples of confusion that spread throughout my work has finally ceased, which makes me quite happy. People have settled down, dropped the Hutterite/nun comments, and people have gotten back on with their lives. I think from now on, [...]

Growing through devotions

I think I read on the Catholic Answers forum that some people tend to be drawn to certain devotions that in God’s timing, work well for them because of what He has in store. Some people find strength, others find healing, still others find discipline and other spiritual treasures when they begin a devotion, then [...]

Catholic Carnival #129 is up!

Go check out this week’s Catholic Carnival, posted over at Living Catholicism. As always, the Carnival is a good way to surf posts of interest if you’re short on reading material, or just want something different for a change.

Carmelites in Wyoming

Here is an article about the Carmelites in Wyoming in the Salt Lake Tribune. It’s a well-written article and doesn’t paint the Church in a negative light. “Nicholas Maroney embraced his weeping mother and grandmother, told them he loved them, then turned to his future. Three times he knocked on the wooden gate and listened [...]

Rest in Peace

Tammy Faye Bakker Messner has passed away on the 20th. Her website. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
