“That special power of loving that belongs to a woman is seen most clearly when she becomes a mother. Motherhood is the gift of God to women. How grateful we must be to God for this wonderful gift that brings such joy to the whole world, women and men alike! Yet we can destroy this gift of motherhood, especially by the evil of abortion, but also by thinking that other things like jobs or positions are more important than loving,... Read more

Good morning, friends! After a weekend away, I am having a hard time clearing my head enough to write a coherent post!

Here are some Scripture verses related to parenting, but please feel free to add others in the comments section – we can use all of the wisdom that we can get... Read more

Confessions of a Delinquent

Last updated on: January 21, 2011 at 6:00 am By Juris Mater

AWOL was at our house for Thanksgiving; her default position is on the couch reading to her children, and even her energetic 3 year old boy sits still. MaryAlice’s kids ask me to read to them every time I’m over for as far back as I can remember knowing them. Red always brings books along, even away from home to settle her kids in the evening or at hyper times, and they settle in and listen. It’s no secret that... Read more

Meet our new friends

Last updated on: January 19, 2011 at 6:01 am By texasmommy

May I introduce you to some of our new friends? Meet Elephant and Piggie: We first met them over Thanksgiving when I blindly put a ridiculous number of books on hold so that we would have oodles to read when we were in St. Louis visiting family. I just looked up some authors that we like and clicked away, never hitting any sort of limit. (Our main library in Texas only allows you to put 10 books on hold at a... Read more

Our beloved Pope John Paul II will be beatified on Divine Mercy Sunday, May 1st 2011! The decree was announced on Friday, and you can read the full text here. The explanation of why we beatify and canonize holy men and women was a nice reminder, and the synopsis of different parts of John Paul II’s life was well-done. Servant of God, John Paul II, pray for us! Read more
