Actually, it’s a widget, or, in layman’s terms, “thingy.” If you’ll just scroll down a bit and look to the right, just below “subscribe by email to the blog,” you will see it. You can search for books and other products on Amazon and see the results right in the box, without leaving this page. Then, if you click on something, it takes you to Amazon. The reason this is a big deal is because I have an Amazon Associates... Read more
Here’s a little contest for pictures of Pope Francis, with entries from around the world. You can vote for your favorite. I voted for this guy but an awful lot of them were appealing, if not especially technically dazzling. The thumbnails don’t show the entire image – you have to click on a picture, and then you can see them all as a slideshow. I was struck by how many of them looked like other popes! Which on is your... Read more
I wrote today’s post in forty-second increments all morning long. If it makes any sense, it’ll be a miracle. But hey, the title rhymes! Awesome! Read more
Because when your heart is just full of pain for the plight of women, the first thing you do is design a medical assault rifle that fires a copper barb through her cervix producing a continual low grade infection which will cause her uterus to expel any fertilized eggs, on the off-chance that sperm survived and an egg was released. Your goal is to make it so easy to use that you don’t even have to be a doctor. Of... Read more
Here’s the short version: a Catholic mother is raising eleven children on her own. She is trying to raise money to go to nursing school to support her family. She’s not looking for an easy ride. In a recent blog post, she says, Yesterday I had my third appointment with the state in regard to funding my Pharmacy Tech class. It is a certificate class, therefore it is not covered under financial aid. My hope was to be working as a Pharmacy Tech by... Read more
All kinds o’ formatting craziness on today’s post, but it’s legible, anyway. Read more
. . . chatting with Matt Swaim about the importance of blessing children. *sigh* Which I just realized means that I won’t be able to go with my husband to drop the kids off for their first day of school. (I picked the time, so it’s my fault! I just didn’t think it through.) But I am going to bless the heck out of them before they leave the house! I also bought some rubber severed ears to slip into...

Weh-heh-hell, it was bound to happen. As I mentioned, we got a puppy a few months ago, and have spent the summer training him. This morning on our front porch, we found a copy of a children’s book called Orville: A Dog Story. Written inside the cover was this note: Here is a wonderful story of a dog, passed on to you with love. When you are done reading about Orville, you may keep the book or pass it on to someone else.... Read more
In the third world, they stone a girl to death for being raped. In the United States, we just give her rapist and de facto murderer a slap on the wrist, and reassure the world that she was asking for it. Think I’m exaggerating? Cherice Morales was fourteen when her 49-year-old teacher began to rape her. Three years later, she killed herself. The reason her story is in the news is because her rapist, Stacey Rambold, got 30 days in... Read more
