Ultima in mortis hora
To My Dear Readers: In past posts, I’ve written of a loved one with cancer. Wanting to keep my terms vague so as to avoid violating any privacy my loved one desired, I’ve recently been released to tell you that he is my father. My dad was diagnosed with melanoma January 7th, 2011 and I’m […]
A Classic from the Archives
It’s so good for me to thumb through old posts because in addition to writing for an audience, I write the on-goings of my soul. Paging through last night, I found this heavenly reminder – “My Shield Against Cruelty and Sin.” Originally written in August of 2012. “I search, as always, to go outside of […]
When Your Predecessor Lives
Saw this about 2 months ago and it still cracks me up. Happy Thursday everyone – here’s to getting a good laugh in!
WoW Wednesday: My husband, Appreciating the As-Is Life, an Open Conversation between Clergy & Laity, and a Pin

WoW Wednesday: The Basic Revelation of My Role In Marriage
I finally figured it out. My job, my role in marriage – what I’m supposed to do and be “til death do us part.” First, I’ll preface: I understand that God chose Andrew and me as vocations for each other to glorify Him together in the Sacrament of Marriage for the rest of our lives. […]
In God We Trust
May our god always be the Lord! God save America!
TV-free for a John 10:10 approach
“I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10) Confession: Our kids watch too much TV. It’s embarrassing typing this “out loud” for the world to see because honestly, I’d love for people to think that we have it all together: perfect marriage, committed to being cool/collected parents, darling house, and […]
