Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, August 11, 2010
My friend Fr. Tim sent this along to me this morning. I think it’s very powerful for people wondering when God is going to answer their prayers.
I Will Move The Rock
Once upon a time…there was a man who was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light and the Savior appeared. The Lord told the man He had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin.... READ MORE

Old Married Couple
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Marriage on Tuesday, February 09, 2010
“Old married couple” isn’t necessarily complimentary.
You don’t want to be caught bickering like one.
There’s a nice feature in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, however, in which several couples whose marriage has passed the test of time offer tips.
I’m not certain I want to pattern my love on the Osbourne family (among others), but I was touched by Sharon Osbourne’s main reason for not leaving... READ MORE

I promise this will be my last post about the cleaning of clothes for a while—after all, this blog isn’t called Faith and Laundry, now is it?
I did want to offer this helpful little tip, something I tried Saturday and today and man did I see results. The secret to a happy laundry system is (drumroll please): put the laundry away once a day.
I know, you’re reeling from either a) the simplicity of that... READ MORE
Amazing Strength, Amazing Results

Imagine that your husband comes home one day and announces, “I don’t love you anymore. I’m not sure I ever did.”

Arwen’s post on cooking fresh veggies, along with my own delightful little backyard produce section, has me thinking about gardening and healthy eating and just living off the land in general.
This is our first year with a garden, something I have wanted for years but could never figure out where, exactly, one could thrive in my yard. When we put up a fence this Spring, voila!, the perfect patch emerged.... READ MORE
Because He's So Happy!
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Tuesday, June 30, 2009
My parents taught me that “Mommy loves you, and Daddy loves you, but Jesus loves you best of all.” I tell Camilla the same thing.
We also talk about how it is good to love Jesus, and why: because it makes him happy.
Even basic theology is often too complex for a two-year-old, and in this case my daughter has gotten mixed up.
“I love Jesus!” she’ll chirpily declare. “Because he’s so happy!”
But it... READ MORE

“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
