12/12/12 If ever there was an uugitdee-boogitdee looking date, this is it. 12/12/12 You can almost hear the big clock chiming and the owls hooting. We are the last ones this century who get to see the numbers line up like this. Oh, there will be a 2/2/22 and a 3/3/33 and so on. But once 12/12/12 passes by, this total line-up of the same numbers straight across is over and done for living memory. Human beings are good at... Read more

If you’re thinking about remodeling, you might consider buying your cabinets from Conestoga Wood Specialities Corporation. This family-owned company has joined the brave group of Christian businesses who’ve filed suit against the HHS Mandate. It’s important for many companies to file suit, simply because the more challenges to the HHS Mandate we have out there, the more likely we are to have one stick. For instance, one lawsuit after another has been tossed by judges around the country, but a... Read more

Getting married was one of the four best things I’ve ever done. The other three are my two children and turning my life over to Jesus. Despite all the huge mistakes I’ve made (and some of my mistakes have been both public and grievous) these four things outweigh them all in my eyes. I look at my life so far, and I can honestly say that I feel it’s been good. It’s been very good. The reasons I point to... Read more

Same-sex marriage is a compelling issue for many people on both sides of the question. Public support for traditional marriage eroded rapidly in the past two years, while nationwide support for same-sex marriage is at an all-time high. For the first time, several states have passed voter referendums allowing same sex marriage, politicians are moving to endorse same-sex marriage and there’s even talk about whether or not conservative Christians and the Republican Party should abandon opposition to it. Meanwhile, lower... Read more

Monday was my anniversary. My mother had a turn for the worse yesterday. My doc did some “work” on Gimpy the Foot a week ago today.

I’m teaching a class at a local university.   There are benefits to being so busy and... Read more

Today is my 30th anniversary of my marriage to my only husband. I read a lot of advice on how to stay married, how to be happily married, how to make marriage work. Most of this advice comes from some “expert” solemnly intoning that if you want your marriage to survive, you have to “work” at it. They usually go on with advice about “date nights” and prenuptial agreements and how to make his and hers careers work and whether... Read more

I had just clicked on “buy” for a couple of Christmas gifts when I saw this reflection by the Holy Father. In this buy, buy, buy society of ours, we all need reminding that, while Christmas is a time of rejoicing, feasting and fun, what we are celebrating is the coming of the Son of God. Read the Pope’s thoughts on this below and have a blessed Sunday.     Vatican City, Dec 9, 2012 / 07:25 am (CNA/EWTN News).-... Read more
