Licking the Wounds...again!
So this post was going to be all about something really cool. I promise! ;o) There are some things on my heart that I've been wanting to share, but haven't gotten around to posting them yet. But today, just bear with a little whining. A few days ago, one of my Facebook friends (someone I really love and respect) added me to a Christian women's page. The administrator continually posts questions and thoughts about the faith and Scripture. I hadn't really participated, until yesterday. She posted a question regarding what Jesus did while He was in the grave--and did He really go to Hell? I decided to give a little input. She immediately became defensive. She said something in response, then I revealed that I'm Catholic. Oh, my. It all broke loose then. She said I needed to leave the page, as this page is only for CHRISTIAN women. There was more, but that was the gist of it. I was shocked, but decided to...
Seasons of Life
I am experiencing my annual "the-kids-are-going-back-to-school-soon-and-I'm-absolutely-dreading-it-but-the-summer-has-been-crazy-and-hectic-and-I'm-ready-to-go-back-to-a-regular-schedule" frame of mind. Can you relate? (Please say yes!) I always look forward to the end of the school year. I want to spend every possible moment with my boys. I think of all kinds of fun things we can do together. Suddenly, they're actually home for the summer, and I still have to do laundry, clean house, and make meals. Then they start the "I'm bored" syndrome, and the real fun begins. Don't get me wrong, we have made some great memories this summer. We spent part of Memorial Day weekend playing "tourists" in Cleveland. We also went to a mini golf park. We spent Memorial Day at the Cleveland Zoo. Our oldest son went to a great youth conference. Our church celebrated the Feast of the Sacred Heart (our patronal feast) with a special Mass, dinne...
Archbishop Carlson on Apologetics and Evangelization
One of the speakers we heard at the Defending the Faith Conference was Archbishop Carlson, of St. Louis. Due to storms, he was not able to be with us for all his scheduled time slots. He graciously supplied the notes he had written for the session he missed. Wow. I. Introduction When we find a good restaurant we want to share it with our friends, and we do. When we hear a good song we want to share it with our friends, and we do. When we see a good movie or read a good book or find a good recipe we want to share it with our friends, and we do. The fact that you can now do it on Facebook is just a new twist on an old theological principle: The good is self-diffusive. The good wants to be shared, and anyone who resists doing so is rightly called selfish. It's a curious fact about many Catholics, however, that there is one good thing that we're reluctant to share: the good news of our faith in Jesus Christ. For one reason or another, our culture tells us that it...
Whose Controversy?
As you must know (unless you have had no access to TV or Internet for the past couple of weeks), there is a huge controversy in our country over the remarks made by the president and CEO of Chick-fil-A . He said (gasp) that he supports biblical marriage. I hope you're planning to eat some chicken, not just today, but several times in the future. There was no controversy until the LGBT community decided to make one.
