Don’t forget to update your feed so you don’t miss any posts! Our neighborhood, and the adjacent community, is full of kids. Most kids are good, none are angels, and a few have been uninvited from playing with my boys. One boy, and his little brother, stand out. They are always getting into trouble. Not [...]

1 Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! 2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 4 He determines the number of the stars and calls them each [...]

Today is the Feast of All Soul’s Day in the Catholic Church. It’s one of only 2 days when priests are obligated to say three Masses – the other one’s Christmas – meaning you should probably show up even though it is not a HDO and you just went yesterday. My Baptist/Non-Denominational/But Definitely Not Charismatic, [...]

We don’t celebrate Halloween much around here, although we do hand out candy. We usually celebrate All Saint’s Day on Nov. 1 instead. Usually, the children will choose a saint and dress in costume. The parties we’ve attended have a contest where the child gives a brief biography of the saint and the other kids [...]

Why We Don’t Celebrate Halloween If you’ve been directed here by me because you just don’t get our weirdness, please read the entire post. This post is for all of those people out there who simply cannot believe we don’t pay $20 for a cheap costume, then let our small children browbeat our neighbors into [...]

My kids have never really watched Sesame Street, I’m not sure why. I remember watching it growing up and liking it, but I suppose that when we had cable we were more likely to tune into Noggin than PBS at whatever timeslot it came on. Seen this?

Kids in Church Baby A was baptized on Aug. 30, and this time around the ceremony was really, really long. Unfortunately, by the time it was over I forgot to get a picture of A’s gorgeous baptism gown! Her godmother made it for her and it is heirloom quality. Baby A’s godparents live in Colorado, [...]

As a child, I had a hard time understanding Heaven. I knew it was where everyone wanted to go, and much preferred over the alternative, but it sounded so… boring. I imagined all of saints, sitting around, staring at God. There was singing. And angels. And more staring at God. I could not understand why [...]

I am so disappointed in Fox News. They’ve invited Miss California Carrie Prejean to fill in for Gretchen Carlson next week on Fox and Friends. (FNC’s insipid morning news show… I think all of the morning news shows are insipid. Frankly, I learn more about the world from Sid the Science Kid.) I see Fox [...]
