A Day in Hanceville
Posted in Uncategorized on March 10, 2011 | Comments Off
For the first time in 28 years of parenting, I did this amazing new thing today: I went on a field trip. ! (Yes, I’m That Mom) It was up the road to Hanceville, the site of the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. I was up there a couple of weeks ago with Ann [...]

By immersing ourselves into the death and resurrection of Christ through the Sacrament of Baptism, we are moved to free our hearts every day from the burden of material things, from a self-centered relationship with the “world” that impoverishes us and prevents us from being available and open to God and our neighbor.

Today, those with advance copies are being allowed to discuss three sections from the embargoed manuscript. (I’m grateful to have the (digital) book but it’s not easy reading with ‘EMBARGOED” emblazoned across each page!) Chapter [...]

…just finished up a project. I hope I finished it, that is. You never know what The Man will say, though, so we’ll see. Next up: taxes, then a couple of e-books to try to publish before Lent begins.
