An update on that fabulous rosary
If it was a surprise to me that my $7-free-with-donation rosary was worth hundreds of dollars, then it was even a bigger surprise when the parish priest wrote back to me. “He’ll tell you to keep it,” my Patient Husband … Continue reading
Hey, look what I found!
I sold books at my parish craft fair this weekend, which is kind of exciting but not the most exciting thing. You see, when you sell at a craft fair, you’re there before they open, and you can browse. This … Continue reading
Book Review: Seven Saints For Seven Virtues
Most people have heard of the “seven deadly sins” and may even be able to name them, but fewer have heard of the seven cardinal virtues: charity, chastity, diligence, humility, kindness, patience and temperance. Jean Heimann’s book “Seven Saints for … Continue reading

Getting out of the way
It took me twelve years to forgive someone who ought to have known better. This was someone in authority who, when notified of the wrongful actions of someone under his chain of command, turned on me instead. I was the … Continue reading
You’re in Paradise. Take the Advil.
Just yesterday, someone was telling me about a trip she’d taken with her elderly mother. It sounded like a fantastic trip, the kind you take once in a lifetime — and given her mother’s age, that’s likely to be the … Continue reading
Eggo Waffle, Your Holiness?
The first action of Pope Francis was to get all my laundry folded. I found out about the white smoke via Twitter and immediately searched up a live feed, then propped the computer on an inverted laundry basket and started … Continue reading
