Hey everyone, I've got a piece over at the National Catholic Register on the Assumption. It's funny, the pieces I sweat over, sometimes don't catch on, and the ones I don't feel quite right, sometimes turn out to be the ones people like. I struggled with the piece on the Assumption.
Speaking of struggles, after a long dry spell, I have a piece over at Aleteia on 5 tips if you're botching Lent. I'll be over here drying to redone my ashes and mental sack cloth. Thank goodness God doesn't get tired of hearing me say, "I wasn't ready. Do-over. I'm beginning again." I know I do.
A friend of mine who is not Christian asked me about Lent. She thought the fasting component fascinating. "Do you feel yourself getting stronger?" Nope. Just the opposite. What I have learned thus far this Lent, there's much to do. I need to will to do it, and I am very predisposed to be weak.
She laughed. So did I. Thank goodness for the mercy of Lent.
Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always trying to be warmth and light, focuses on parenting, and the unique struggles of raising a large Catholic family in the modern age. Updates on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday...and sometimes more!
