** 1 ** I have been watching the March for Life on EWTN. It is warmer and more comfortable to watch it from my living room than from the freezing ground in DC. But I am grateful that people are there, making the sacrifice of being cold and uncomfortable. Of course, every other news media (except maybe FoxNews) is completely ignoring the March, as they do every single year. Way to be objective CNN. ** 2 ** I am currently... Read more
That’s the number of years abortion has been legal in the US and the estimated number of abortions that have been performed in the US since 1973. For those of you who can do math (I exclude myself) I think that breaks down to about 1.2 million abortions each year. every single year. There was a time in my life when I thought this was just fine; well, if I’m honest, I didn’t think a whole lot about it, because... Read more
Three weeks into the new year, and already I have gone off of my 2010 bookshelf. I was browsing at Borders the other day and came across a new book from John and Stasi Eldredge, Love and War: Finding the Marriage You’ve Dreamed Of.

On the surface, Lost is a show with the premise that is just about everyone’s worst nightmare. Being in a plane crash, surviving, but being on a deserted (so you think) island with 30 total strangers. You expect help to arrive any time now…but it doesn’t. Then very wierd things start to happen; people disappear, you realize you are not alone on the island, but are sharing it with person(s) unknown who want to harm you. That’s the basic jist...

Reflections from Dorothy Day (C0-Founder of Catholic Worker Movement), about her abortion, her daughter’s birth, and pro-life issues in general. Dorothy Day: I hobbled down the darkened stairwell of the Upper East Side flat in New York City. My steps were unsteady. My left arm held the banister tightly. My right arm clutched my abdomen. It was burning in pain. I walked out onto the street alone in the dark. It was in September of 1919. I was twenty-one years... Read more
I am breaking my self-imposed no-blogging-on-weekends rule in order to share this fabulous new blog I’m stumbled upon!

I hope you’ll enjoy some of these... Read more
