Well that was fun!
/I have a million things I need to do and two million things on my mind. But, I just spent an hour making my "colors" look pretty and now I'm stopping to blog about it.
Huh.
I do feel a little better...
Pondering and Praying this Summer
/Do not let any occasion of gaining merit pass without taking care todraw some spiritual profit from it; as, for example, from a sharp word which someone may say to you; from an act of obedience imposed against your will; from an opportunity which may occur to humble yourself, or to practice charity, sweetness, and patience. All of these occasions are gain for you, and you should seek to procure them; and at the close of that day, when the greatest number of them have come to you, you should go to rest most cheerful and pleased, as the merchant does on the day when he had had most chance for making money; for on that day business has prospered with him. ~Saint Ignatius Loyola

Praying for Cindy!
/Cindy just called to let me know that she will meet her new son tonight! She's on her way to the hospital where she will deliver by c-section (for the fourth time). Cindy has long had a devotion to St. Anne. Won't you pray with our family this afternoon and evening as we wait to welcome our new godchild?
Many thanks to Charlotte who sent this prayer card which serendipitously arrived just minutes before Cindy called!
Homeschooling Boys
/Suzanne offers some very wise advice on homeschooling boys.
I've only got five boys. She's got six. I'm taking notes and making some changes. Thanks, Suzanne!
