Journey of Jesus Hits Facebook
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 11:00 AM
This morning, I received a press release in my inbox about a new social game on Facebook called Journey of Jesus. The creation of a company called Lightside Games, Journey of Jesus is being called “the first ever video game about Jesus”.
Journey’s launch comes simultaneous to the launch of a game called Diablo III, a mature-rated game which is anything but angelic. Journey to Jesus is a social role... READ MORE
Alive Inside

“Beautiful” and “amazing” are over-used words, but they’re all I can come up with to describe this clip from a forthcoming documentary about the effect of music on the elderly.
Watch and weep, but in a good way!
Indeed He Is Risen!

Arwen’s post on the challenge of Easter feasting reminded me of this contemporary Russian painting I adore.
It also reminded me of this Gerard Manley Hopkins poem, which describes the ineffable joy of receiving Christ after a difficult Lent. The penances he describes, however, put anything I have ever tried to shame, and I can’t help thinking the degree of our... READ MORE
I Use NFP Buttons
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Friday, March 30, 2012 10:52 AM
Here’s something fun.
Spunky pro-NFP blog buttons and badges.
Pictured is my favorite (well, honestly, it’s a tie between that and “We do it every night. Chart.)”
But there are loads of others, and a whole website coming.
On a totally other note: ERIN, the Style, Sex & Substance winner! Shoot me an email—the one you left is not working for me—I’ll leave my contact info in comments.

Maybe you made a trip to the theater last weekend to watch a certain movie that has been generating a lot of buzz. Maybe the lead actress drew you in with her beauty and the story line kept you gripping your seat until the very end. Maybe you shed a tear and rooted against the bad guys. Maybe you can’t wait to see the film again, and are telling all of your friends that if they only go see one movie... READ MORE

The Edges of Our Seats
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 10:45 AM
“Have you ever walked out on a movie? Which ones, and why?”
That fun question popped up in my twitter feed this morning.
Fun, because it brought back a host of amusing memories.
When I was in high school, seems like every movie our family ever went to had us on the edges of our seats—and not in a good way.
We used to tell my poor elderly grandmother, who came with us on all family outings, “Wear your... READ MORE
His Brother The Pope
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Friday, February 24, 2012 3:05 PM
Not everyone was happy when Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope.
His brother positively sulked over it:
I must quite honestly say that at that moment I was rather disheartened. It was a great challenge, an enormous task for him, I thought, and I was seriously worried. I saw neither the pomp nor the beauty of it, but only the challenge of this office, which now demanded everything of him, and the burden... READ MORE
A Word from the Knights
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Monday, February 20, 2012 9:11 AM
The only thing I don’t like about this Knights of Columbus ad about religious liberty is that it perpetuates the myth of “Presidents’ Day.”
The very notion is un-American.
Here we don’t celebrate titles and offices of themselves (notice there’s no Congress day or Supreme Court day either?)
We celebrate personal heroism, admirable character traits, and exceptional achievements. That means not every, or even most, Presidents are to be celebrated.
Happy holiday, nonetheless!
