Tomorrow I'm going to Mass. Afterward, I meet with the priest to discuss RCIA. I'm definitely excited. Today we went gift shopping for A's birthday, and then C grilled burgers. It's a sunny, happy Saturday. This week has been busy. I went to a mom group meeting with my neighbor. There were some really nice … Continue reading Long Week

Life Updates
In the next 2 weeks, I begin RCIA classes to become Catholic. I'm excited! I still have some reservations, particularly with praying to Mary and the Saints. But as I read Catholic theologians and writers, it's making more sense. I have a new doctor to go to, and the office provides transportation when you need … Continue reading Life Updates
Health, Catholic
Due to my health, we have had to pull our daughter out of school to send her to a school with bus service. She starts sometime next week. I feel terribly guilty, but exhausted and frazzled, too. I will be glad she has bus service. At least she will get to ride to school with … Continue reading Health, Catholic
Work in Progress
We have gotten so much done around the house. We've probably unpacked 200 boxes in the past 4 days. My husband has been amazing. He works so quickly, and he's so patient and helpful. And our daughter has been a terrific little helper. I'm proud of her. I can't sing their praises enough. A had … Continue reading Work in Progress
Prayer
I don't know about you, dear reader, but I need a better prayer life. We often think of praying as something you do alone, down on your knees or lying in bed. But if you only pray when you're in one of those two positions, you will not pray enough. After all, life is busy. … Continue reading Prayer
Sex is a Responsibility for a Married Woman
We all owe something to other people. We live in a community. And if you are married, you owe your husband sex. He's not some random person. He's your partner for life. The relationship between husband and wife is special. It's like nothing else on Earth because it reflects the relationship of Christ and the … Continue reading Sex is a Responsibility for a Married Woman
Bible Journaling Life
Bible journaling is life changing. I've never felt closer to God or more engrossed in His word. I'm having a hard time doing other things because I just want to be in my Bible! I'm making washi tape tabs and using highlighters more than I ever have in my life! I have clear tip highlighters … Continue reading Bible Journaling Life
Bible Journaling
I have finally done a couple of simple Bible journaling pages with highlighter, gel pen, watercolor, and pictures of flowers. I covered a page about blood sacrifice in red. I started in Deuteronomy because it isn't exactly my favorite book of the Bible, so I'm less worried about messing up. I also think it might … Continue reading Bible Journaling
Silence as Feminine Silk
Silence is silky, feminine. A soft voice is an earthly slice of paradise. My husband talks for me a lot. I lean on him heavily in stores and at restaurants, and in a variety of social situations. Exclusivity makes femininity a treat. Not everyone gets access to me. I speak to people who interest me … Continue reading Silence as Feminine Silk
Husbands Have Authority Over Their Wives
A man has the right to set rules for his family, including his wife. Feminism often pushes egalitarian relationships, but this is not biblical. Scripture calls on women to submit to their husbands, not the other way around. This doesn't mean major decisions shouldn't be discussed. A wise man will hear his wife out and … Continue reading Husbands Have Authority Over Their Wives
