Dear Mom in the Pew in Front of Me, the One with the Rowdy Kids:
No, I am not going to write about how much your kids disturb me during Mass. I’m not going to suggest that you take them to the nursery (we don’t have one anyway!) or sit with them in the cry room or tag-team with your husband so that you don’t have to bring them at all. I’m not going to criticize your parenting or tell you to...
Ending Child Abuse →
My sweet friend Maggie is a wonderful writer and she has a big heart as well. She’s blogging today on her fundraising efforts for child abuse prevention via Childhelp. Will you take a minute to visit her site and consider making a donation? And while you are there, read her other posts. You won’t be sorry because she is amazing.

Prejudice Hurts →
I know how I lucky I am to live in a country where my freedom to worship however I wish is guaranteed. I take that for granted and I find it hard to realize that people are still persecuted to the point of death for their beliefs in other parts of the world even though I know it’s true.

It’s a Great Time to Be Catholic! →
So, I’m thinking now’s a good time to be getting all Catholic on the blog because HABEMUS PAPAM, y’all! This doesn’t happen every day–I mean, this is only the fourth time it’s happened in my whole life (which is edging ever closer toward the–gasp–half-century mark).
Pope Paul VI was just a picture on the school wall to me, less important by far than Father Henkel, whose picture was up there too....
