Soon after arriving in Israel, a family friend named Zoya discovered she was pregnant with a second child and went in for the abortion routine. She was dumbfounded to encounter the following whispered line of questioning from the admitting nurse: “Do you not have a roof over your head?” There was a roof. “Do you… Continue reading Julia Goren on “Petitioning For Life”

Let’s Settle This, Once and For All!
My husband and I got into our usual dispute yesterday, and I need to prove once and for all that I’m right, he is wrong. There is no “grey” area in this issue. Just black and white I’m right, he’s wrong. He claims I am not a real Star Wars fan because I say Episodes… Continue reading Let’s Settle This, Once and For All!
Two Good Entries Over @ Curt Jester
Entry #1 was an excerpt of a podcast homily: That we must be ready to remove from us the soul-killing voices of dissention, rebellion, bitterness, and contention does not mean that we must be ready to ignore or even coddle the Spirits of Deceit and Disobedience.

Perhaps… Continue reading Once Again…To NFP or to Not NFP, the continuous question
Last Saturday…
My husband went downstate to meet my mother-in-law and had the munchkins with him (another story I don’t even want to talk about). I had to work, but chilled with my family afterwards. My family’s routine is to go to the 4 o’clock Mass at the Church my father is assigned to. The pastor there… Continue reading Last Saturday…
Being Sick Bites
Warning: Blatant whine alert! I have a cold or the flu or something that seems to have settled in my lungs. It hurts like a SOB when I cough, I feel lightheaded and dizzy. Everytime I try to go downstairs and do laundry, I get winded like I just came back from running, but without… Continue reading Being Sick Bites
Celebrities Really Are From Another Planet
Lindsey Lohan wants to go to Iraq to perform for the troops. There is nothing wrong with her wanting to go to Iraq to boost morale. That’s kind of cool. Here is where it gets weird. She goes on to say: “I’ve been trying to go to Iraq with Hillary Clinton for so long,” Lohan,… Continue reading Celebrities Really Are From Another Planet
