I must admit that after Hillary failed to clinch the nomination this year I am intrigued by the thought of McCain picking a woman as his VP. With the pick promised to be just days away new names of possible VP nominees are bound to surface. One name that has recently come up is TX Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Hopefully … Read More
Breaking the Chain of Violence and Hatred
The Daily Mail has a beautiful story of a young girl who refused to have an abortion despite the fact that her child was conceived in a brutal gang rape. Sadly, “Elizabeth” and her mother were almost completely alone in this decision (names have been changed for legal reasons): “One of the few things that Elizabeth is sure of is … Read More
I’m Going to Disney World!!!
Dear readers, just a little not to let you know that I will be leaving this afternoon to spend a few days at the happiest place on earth!

Pray for Babies Ryan and Kale
On my way home from GA a few weeks ago I stopped in KY to see my friend Lena and her new baby, Ryan. We found out recently that Lena’s husband has been given orders to go overseas in December for another year (he has been to Iraq once already) – Ryan will be 6 months old when he leaves. … Read More
I Believe the Children are Our Future
This week’s Our Sunday Visitor ran a little story about the declining birth rate in Europe and included this quote from Pope Benedict: “Europe is infected by a strange lack of desire for the future. Children, our future, are perceived as a threat to the present, as if they were taking something away from our lives.” Sometimes it seems as … Read More

Hi there! So I’ve been taking a little bit of a blogging break, in case you haven’t noticed. After the New Media Celebration I spent a wonderful, relaxing day with my cousins in Amelia Island, Florida. The weather and everything was perfect, though there were sharks in the water, and there was a shark attack there last week: For the … Read More
Loving Our Enemies
A culture of life is a culture of love. That means loving everyone without exception – even our worst enemies. Yesterday’s Gospel reading: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of … Read More
There is No “Pregnant Man“!
OK, I have to bring this up b/c it’s just getting ridiculous. The media, Oprah and the tabloids are going crazy over this “man” in Oregon who is just four weeks from giving birth to a baby girl. Ignoring the biological facts of the case, they are treating this as some scientific miracle, the “world’s first pregnant man.” He’s not. … Read More
