I was listening to a popular radio talk show in the car the other day and a particular caller caught my attention.
It was a woman calling in to complain about the fights she always seemed to get in with her husband over money. The show’s host asked for a few details about the couple’s financial practices and then concluded that the problem was that they pooled their money.

Good St. Joseph, Pray for Us
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Friday, May 01, 2009
Lord God, You have created all things,
and imposed on man the necessity of work.
Grant that, following St. Joseph’s example,
and under his protection,
we may accomplish the works You give us
and obtain the rewards You promise.
Amen

Why I Stay Home

Dad Not Home?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, November 18, 2008
One of the areas in which our family is incredibly fortunate is my husband’s job.
He is well-compensated for work he finds both stimulating and enjoyable, his commute is a mere fifteen minutes, he has flexible hours, and he rarely has to work more than forty of them in a week.
I discovered recently that I have not been properly appreciating the last part of that deal.
Bryan’s team is working on a... READ MORE
