Kids v Cats
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Family on Friday, February 26, 2010
My inbox this morning includes a plea for help.
A friend of a friend posted “8 reasons dogs and cats are better than kids” on her facebook page.
My friend, who has seven daughters, laughingly responded that as “Septomom,” she could not possibly let that stand.
Now she’s looking for help crafting a lighthearted rebuttal.
Here is the original list.
Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:... READ MORE
Come To Jesus, Tiger
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Wednesday, January 06, 2010
I’m curious to know this community’s reaction to Fox News analyst Brit Hume’s call for Tiger Woods to convert to Christianity.
As you can imagine, it didn’t really go over well among the chattering classes—even the “conservative” chattering classes.
After looking at the clip, I find I’m of two minds.
I very much admire Hume for two things: for taking what appears to be a somewhat crass discussion... READ MORE

Divorce: Now What?
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Marriage on Friday, December 04, 2009
If you’ve suffered a divorce or know someone who has, you might like to know about Divorced Catholic.
It includes FAQs relating to divorce, and Journey of Hope, an online program aimed at helping divorced Catholics with practical, spiritual, emotional and moral issues related to the experience of divorce, and more.
I’m so glad to see this because Church teaching with respect to divorce seems to be... READ MORE
Saintly Strategic Planning

As you read this blog post, I will be winging my way across the country to Atlanta to attend a strategic planning meeting for the board of SQPN.com. I feel so very honored to be a part of organizations such as Faith & Family, and the Star Quest Production Network.

Putting His Faith Where His Face Is

I am not much of a Gator’s fan, but I must admit to being impressed with Tim Tebow.
The Florida Gator’s quarterback and Heisman trophy winner drew “John 3:16” in his eye blacking during the 2009 BCS Championship game and at last night’s last home game he wore the verse Hebrews 12:1-2, which reads, in part:
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Amen!
Hug Lady
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Do you know about Elizabeth Laird, “the hug lady”?
Since some soldiers departing for the war zone don’t have the opportunity to hug their moms good-bye, she does it for them—and gives every departing soldier a copy of the 91st Psalm, too.
I thought you might enjoy this unique positive story from Ft. Hood.
Putting God at the Center

Please excuse this very bad photo of what was, indeed, a wonderful evening. Yesterday morning, I hit the road for a quick trip to San Francisco. My destination: St. Dominic’s Catholic Church and a lecture by Fr. Robert Barron of WordonFire.org. You may recall my earlier post on Fr. Barron’s wonderful endeavor, The Catholicism Project.
Fr. Barron’s purpose in coming to California was to spread... READ MORE

CNMC Words of Wisdom
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Tuesday, June 30, 2009
As Danielle shared with you on Sunday, she and I were blessed to meet in person this week at the Catholic New Media Celebration organized by SQPN.com. One of the thrills of the weekend for me was spending time in person with Mrs. Bean, who has long been one of my role models. Danielle and I have “known” one another online for years, so it was a complete joy to simply “hang out” with her for a few... READ MORE
