New Year’s Goals
A blessed 2011 to all! Each year I try to make resolutions, goals, ideals; whatever – and they always seem to fall flat. This year, I’d like to take another crack at it. I’d like to change things, though. I have some goals in mind, but they all can be summed up as such: JOY [...]
In your charity,
Can you pray for the following intentions? The season has been a joyful time, but marked with sadness at times. But considering what the Infant Jesus was born to do, it fits perfectly in. * Greg’s Grandfather is slowly succumbing to Alzheimer’s. It seems as if every day that goes by, he gets worse and [...]
AWOL
In addition to well, life; I blame these three items for keeping me offline. Breadman Breadmaker Smart Martha’s Catholic Guide for Busy Moms Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament RSV 2nd Edition Benedict is also pushing out toof #8, which has me up more at nights and extra tired in the daytime. The Good Lord [...]
A Priest Forever
Congratulations to the newly ordained Fr. K! Greg and I went with the kids to the Ordination Mass today – it was absolutely beautiful. Afterwards, I ran into Fr. L (who Confirmed me back in 2006) and several people from University Town that I hadn’t had contact with since we moved. Elise spent a long [...]
Thrift Store Finds
Another thrift store find – for $2.00! Apparently this used to be printed for priests and seminarians, but is also quite helpful for the laity. It was put out by the Midwest Theological Forum for the Pontifical North American College. There are so many amazing (and beautiful!) prayers in here, but I’m especially curious about [...]
Why, hello there!
I’m slightly giddy by the fact that Benedict’s sleeping last night went like this: 8:45pm: Asleep Midnight: Asleep! 2am: STILL ASLEEP! 5am: Pre-breakfast snack, followed up with more sleep And as of now (7am), he’s still sleeping. Since Benedict’s sleep was so well, mine went like this: 10pm: Asleep. Midnight: Asleep! 2am: STILL ASLEEP! 5am: [...]
Two Prayer Requests
* for a special intention Greg and I have * for a situation that’s going on that won’t have any end in sight unless something miraculous happens. Both of us were up to almost 2am this morning trying to process the only thing we can ask in a situation like this – what just happened?! [...]
Urgent Prayer Request
Could you please pray for one of my family members? I can’t give any more details other than it’s not my immediate family (ie, Greg, the kids, etc) and that it’s a medical issue. Thank you!
Paging St. Blaise
I could use some prayers. I woke up this morning with quite a sore throat. I’ve also been feeling really tired all day long. I don’t recall being exposed to anyone sick, but that is neither here nor there. My parents are coming down tomorrow so Dad can help Major Dad and Greg build our [...]
Our Lady’s Virtues – Patience
A few months ago, I wrote about wanting to grow in the virtues of Our Lady. I finally have time to be able to devote myself to reflection and writing, and I think that now is an appropriate time for my soul to undertake such a process. If you have been interested in the virtues [...]
