August 31st, 2005 As unbelievable as this seems, some horrible people are apparently trying to scam would-be donors to the hurricane victims by posing as online charities but collecting money for themselves. Please give, but please be careful. Catholic Charities has a page for donating online as well as information about other help people need. August 31st, 2005 Stephen watched carefully while I stamped the letter and then he came along with me to the post office. He stood on tiptoes and peeped into the outdoor mailbox. He pulled the handle and held it open for me. I placed the letter inside and he let it clang closed. Then he opened it again quickly to make certain the envelope had fallen inside. “What will happen to it now?” August 30th, 2005 Here is an article by Elizabeth Foss, one of my favorite Catholic mom authors, on bringing children to Mass. She shares some great insights and practical advice. August 30th, 2005 I’m a mom, okay? That means I like to share recipes. It’s instinctual or something. Anyway, since I hear from so many of you about how much you like the family-friendly recipes I occasionally share in this space, I decided to lump them all together in a new Recipe Page for your convenience and enjoyment. You’ll be able to access this page any time by clicking the link in the August 30th, 2005 I was folding laundry in the house the other day when I heard an enormous crash that sent me racing to the window. There was Dan, standing beside his car which was parked near the woods at the edge of our driveway. He had his head in his hands and a bewildered look on his face.

Christ was born of a Virgin. Christ suffered, Christ was crucified. Christ died. Christ rose from the dead. Christ ascended into Heaven. Christ conquers. Christ reigns. Christ orders. May Christ protect us from all storms and lightning. Christ went through their midst in Peace, and the word August 28th, 2005 And it paid off. A few years ago, when I was just starting out with all this writing stuff, I decided not to pursue writing for secular markets. I did a little bit in the beginning, but I soon found that my writing was just too close to my heart for it to be anything but Catholic. Or at least Christian. Distinctly so. And that was okay with me. So August 27th, 2005 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Matthew 16:24-25 Lord, give us the strength and the will to follow You always. |
