The first one is me, the latter one’s my husband. I’m going to talk about both, however, because I’m a blogger and that’s what I do.Unfortunately I haven’t had a whole lot of energy for blogging lately. I haven’t wanted to get up and pray; haven’t wanted to get up and write; haven’t wanted to get up and exercise. You’re thinking, who does? (want to … [Read more...]

Unfortunately, often what we think to be true—and good and right—is, in fact, a great big lie.I oppose birth control as someone who used it in college and paid the price. Physically and morally, I paid the price.I oppose it because I'm a practicing Catholic. This is not a gray issue, my friend; if you are … [Read more...]

A grand adventure!(My husband couldn’t watch them because he was on retreat too—a retreat of a different sort called Wood badge Training.)Even … [Read more...]

True Love
Is there a Valentine's card that can capture--really capture--the love & commitment behind something like this?Not really.True love is complicated.True love is hard.True love doesn't often last 65 years!It's true. My mom and dad have been married for 65 years, and on January 29th, we kids got together. Keep in mind that when I say "we kids", I … [Read more...]
