More on Marrying Young
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Marriage on Thursday, September 04, 2008
Needless to say, I’ve been following the comments on Rebecca’s post from earlier this week with much interest. I don’t have much to add to the arguments - I think Rebecca’s elegant thinking and concise writing have covered pretty much everything I’d say on the topic - but because I have had the experience of marrying at an age that this culture considers very young, I’d like to share my story, just...

Labor Day Special
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Monday, September 01, 2008
When I was a kid I didn’t see my extended family much. My mother’s parents and only brother lived five hundred miles away, and my dad’s many siblings and their children were scattered all over the country. We did visit sometimes, usually in the summer, but on holidays it was always just us: my parents, my five younger siblings, and me. It was fun, it was just relatively small.
A decade later, the... READ MORE
The Ingalls Example
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Saturday, August 30, 2008
Inspired by our recent celebration of re-reading, I’m delving back into Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books. I enjoy these books but they’re not favorite re-reads of mine, and I’d guess it’s been nearly a decade since I last read through them. This means I’m looking at them through adult eyes for the first time.
From the beginning of Little House in the Big Woods, I was struck by the appealing... READ MORE
Sarah Palin and the Politics of Motherhood
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Saturday, August 30, 2008
After John McCain’s announcement of Sarah Palin as his running mate yesterday, I followed discussions of the news with great interest—particularly those among Catholics.
The observations about the Sarah Palin nomination that I found most interesting were those that had nothing at all to do with abortion, the environment, gun control, the war, or typical politics of any kind. They were the ones that... READ MORE
Share Your Questions!
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Saturday, August 30, 2008
This week on Tuesday, our wonderful Faith and Family blogging team members will be gathering together for a quick telephone chat for an upcoming episode of the Catholic Moments Podcast.
The format is going to be open ended, allowing each of the bloggers to share her unique point of view. As the hostess of the chat, I thought I’d solicit a few of your ideas for topics and invite you to ask your favorite bloggers a question or two. Share your questions or topic ideas you’d like discussed in the comments here or call my voice feedback line at 206-339-9272. We hope to make these chat-fests a regular feature here on Faith and Family Live!
Happily Hospitable?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Homemaking on Saturday, August 23, 2008
Tonight, we will be hosting a backyard barbecue for my mother in law, sister and brother in law and five year old nephew Jake. Jake and his mom and dad are visiting from Camarillo, and he loves to come over to our house and play with his big boy cousins.
Since the only extended family we have living in Fresno is my mother-in-law, these opportunities for family gatherings are much too rare. I would... READ MORE
It Tears Me Up
Posted by Arwen Mosher in FamilyJust me on Thursday, August 21, 2008
My mother cries easily. When I was an adolescent, I used to roll my eyes violently when I’d see her wiping away tears over some cheesy story in Reader’s Digest about a re-united family or someone conquering an illness. When she noticed the eye-rolling, she’d smile and warn me that my time was coming. “I used to roll my eyes exactly like that when my mom would cry over stories in magazines, but... READ MORE

Bonus Room - September/ October 2008
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Bonus Room on Wednesday, August 20, 2008
“I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday,” said Abraham Lincoln. Here’s to our lifelong journey of growth in the virtue of wisdom …
Wisdom, says Webster’s, is “the power of judging rightly and following the soundest course of action, based on knowledge, experience, and understanding.”
Wisdom is one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit that (along with understanding,... READ MORE
Did I Marry the Wrong Man?
Posted by Father Richard Gill, LC in Spirituality on Tuesday, August 19, 2008
By Father Richard Gill, LC
Question
I’ve been married for nine years, and we have a boy, age 7, and a girl, age 5. On the surface, I suppose, we have a normal life and everything is okay. That’s probably what someone looking in from the outside would say about us. But I find myself unhappy and I don’t really love my husband. He seems to be in his own world, and we don’t interact much except for the... READ MORE
