1. I didn’t make a huge announcement that I was pregnant, so I’m not going to make a huge announcement that I am no longer pregnant. We had a miscarriage last week. And if that wasn’t crappy enough, I lost my keys while in the ER AND a book that I was reading so that […] Read more…

Pro-Life Tidbits

October – Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions
General: That Sunday may be lived as the day on which Christians gather to celebrate the risen Lord, participating in the Eucharist.
