Love is patient

Well, evidently God had different plans, or at least I’m more readily seeing part of the plan God has for teaching me how to be like Him.  Evidently “patience” is on the docket for this week… month…. year… decade???????
 
Sassy, our almost 2 year old, has a new favorite word: boo-BOO.  The accent is on the [...]

Spinning off of Fr. Philip’s post…

Over on HancAquam, Fr. Philip invited his readers to repudiate the reversal of the Mexico City Policy.  Part of sainthood means speaking against evil so that lies do not go unopposed.  As a Catholic mother, and someone who has experienced a sort of disenfranchised maternity, I feel a sense of responsibility to speak against the [...]

Give us this day our daily bread

There’s something about baking bread that seems to keep me grounded.  The smell of yeast.  The rhythm of kneading dough in my large turquoise mixing bowl.  I enjoy baking other things as well (as my muffin munching 4 year old will agree!) but there is no satisfaction for me quite like the gentle domesticity of [...]

I don’t want to be mediocre, and I don’t [...]
