I’m nominating JoEllen for Lisa’s most fascinating Catholic list.
Anyone who not only thinks of this response - but then actually does it, totally fascinates me. As my dad would say, “what a gal!”

I thought you’d appreciate an update on the “because I love you” campaign my friend JoEllen Murphy launched to counter an atheist ad campaign in Washington, DC.
Word has spread rapidly—thanks in part to all of you who read my original post and either personally donated or spread the word. One of the webmasters told me that post generated 300 hits the first day, and Faith & Family readers provided a good chunk of the donations that made the first stage of the ad campaign possible.
The first “I love you ads” will begin running December 15th. Yay! (And pat yourselves on the back for your role.)
Meanwhile, JoEllen’s practically been hosting an open house for local media at her home. The Washington Examiner and the Washington Post have each featured her initiative, as have Catholic News Agency and a variety of bloggers. Here’s an interview she gave our most prominent news/talk station this morning, and she’ll be featured on two local tv news programs this evening.
A lot of people are going to see and hear the positive message that God loves them because one stay-at-home mom followed through on an inspiration and lots of other folks joined in. Worth noting.
