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…

I Am So Ashamed
The self-titled gentleman known as The Raving Atheist has handed me a lesson in Christian humility. Well, it was not geared to me personally, but it displays a Christian attitude that I forget sometimes. (1) The post will say at least one kind or favorable thing about the person and/or group under discussion. If I… Continue reading I Am So Ashamed

Like many HBO shows, I watch this with equal parts disgust and intrigue. There are parts of Carrie Bradshaw and… Continue reading Sex in the City
“Stewardship”
Two weeks ago, we were assulted with a Homily which has become common place in this diocese about the importance of giving financial support through the Bishop’s Appeal.(Last Sunday’s Homily was about how all Catholic’s should go see The DaVinci Code in good fun). The homilies are usually offensive because they are often arm twisting… Continue reading “Stewardship”
