Last weekend, (the 17th) we went to Wakulla Springs State Park south of Tallahassee. Our plans started when we were looking for something to do on a weekend that had forecast-ed highs in the 70s. At first I had this awesome plan to go to Daytona Beach, then to Canaveral National Sea Shore . This would have involved...
Joshua's nephew, Blake, and his wife, Jenna, were visiting Florida, so we made plans to meet up with them and ended up deciding on checking out Rainbow Springs State Park. We had been to a different spring in the Panhandle last weekend and were impressed and were looking forward to checking out another spring. (Note:...
How awesome is it that Jesus comes to us, body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Blessed Sacrament at every Mass?

The denouncement of torture is spelled out very...

Saint John Paul II gave us this beautiful feast (through Saint Faustina from Jesus, of course) in 2000, just a few months before I found my way back Home. When I was Confirmed in 2003, I chose the name Maria Faustina after the...
Karol, Margaret, and Joshua are taking violin lessons through the South Georgia Strings Project. I am very thankful for this option here in South Georgia for my kids to learn a musical instrument, especially at such a low cost. Take a look at this video from the Strings Project: ...
Over the weekend we went to Jacksonville for their Eucharistic Congress and had a great time. I will admit I was cranky when we hit the road and had to work hard to not snap at kids and Joshua. I could feel the devil attacking me, trying to get me to destroy the early morning peace. I also get this way when facing...
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
