Cast Off!
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, July 03, 2009 9:24 PM
Just a quick note to thank you all for the prayers, support and encouragement you have offered my family over the last seven weeks (seven weeks, one day, six hours) since Henry broke his leg and got his cast.
Henry had his cast removed this past Tuesday and everything is rainbows and roses, glorious and grand. What a relief! God is good, his mercy never comes to an end.

Calling All Patriots

Here’s wishing you and your families a wonderful 4th of July celebration!
Share it with us, won’t you? I love to hear how other people and other communities observe our religious and civic feast days.
The similarities and the peculiarities are so interesting.
So: take pictures, blog about it, and tomorrow at noon I’ll put up a post where you can leave the results all weekend.
Students Hungry for the Truth
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Just me on Friday, July 03, 2009 12:00 PM
Tom Beaudoin gathered this collection of theology bloopers from undergrads at three colleges.
Here’s one:
“After reading Martin Luther, I am thinking of becoming protest. Protestant theology teaches “faith alone,” also known as ‘sola fillet’ or ‘sola feta.’”
Never write essays on an empty stomach might be the lesson there.
Though I’d like to think there really was such a thing as “dessert asceticism.”
The Joys of Impractical Shoes
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Friday, July 03, 2009 10:00 AM
On our anniversary yesterday, Dan took me out shopping. He “owed” me some birthday presents from last month (he did not), he said and figured we might as well pick some things out together.
I guess I thrill easily, because my man’s voluntary company on a shopping excursion made me giddy.
And when I picked out these totally impractical shoes, ones I am quite sure will be the cause of my demise when I turn over my ankle in them a thousand different times a thousand different ways, and he said only, “Sure, if you like them,” I knew he loved me.
No wonder I married this man!

Creative Re-use
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Thursday, July 02, 2009 10:24 PM
Last night my parents went to a potluck at their church. My mom took along a Mexican-rice style dish.
It was delicious, which I know because I tasted it. But the amazing part was that except for the rice, the dish was made entirely of leftovers from my mom’s fridge.
I like to think I’m pretty good at being creative in the kitchen. Last week I needed to use some leftover salami, and I improvised... READ MORE

President Obama met with members of the Catholic press for about 40 minutes today.
Head on over to our sister site, NCRegister.com, for a series of posts on what they talked about. Our publisher, Fr. Owen Kearns, LC was present (you can see him in the foreground of this photo).
Items of particular interest might be the discussion of conscience protections and the President’s response to a question... READ MORE

I challenge you to watch this video and not wind up with a big goofy grin on your face by the end. This kind of joy is positively infectious.
Decent Exposure
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Thursday, July 02, 2009 10:00 AM
I’m happy to help spread the word, especially among my West Coast friends, about an upcoming event being held especially for young ladies.
Decent Exposure is a program for designed for teenage girls. On their website, they share the following mission:
“We believe magazines and television pressure girls to conform themselves to unrealistic images of women, teaching girls to mask their true beauty. Inspired by fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn, we realize that true beauty is timeless and transcends trendy fads that may come and go. The formation classes culminate in a fashion show styled by Katelyn Rose of SuddenlyDarling.com.”
Learn more about Decent Exposure, including details for their July 11th Fashion show at their website.
