Prayer Request
Will you all please keep in your prayers my cousin, Paul? He is being treated for adenoid cancer and had a very long surgery yesterday to removed the cancer (over 12 hours). He has a long road ahead of him now with healing from that and radiation treatments as well. St. Paul, pray for us. St. Edward, pray for us.
Welcoming the Stranger
Today, on the 37th anniversary of his death, let us read the words of Pope Paul VI regarding welcoming the stranger: 67. We cannot insist too much on the duty of giving foreigners a hospitable reception. It is a duty imposed by human solidarity and by Christian charity, and it is incumbent upon...

Macon Rhymes with Bacon
I'm going to lay it out here for you all, I don't like living in South Georgia. Oh, you knew that? I thought I kinda sort of hid it pretty well. One of the reasons I'm not a fan of the area is the total lack of shopping options. I'm not talking about extravagant things, I'm talking about options for children's...
Mini-Muffins, Coconut Style
Muffins = Cupcakes = Muffins = Cupcakes, we can all agree on that, right? Tonight is our monthly parish supper, so I need to bring something to share. Every time I've made bread, it's not turned out well, any side dish I make ends up being gross. I never seldom have these problems at home (well maybe I do, but we...
