If a Christian has married, divorced, and remarried without an annulment, then there is no presumption of validity in the second marriage. The husband in this case was not eligible for marriage, and therefore the marriage is invalid due to what is called "lack of form." It does not require an...

I found a loose leaf bible at Christian Book Distributors that has wide margins. The thing is ginormous, so I'm thinking of dividing it up into several binders. But it's a very nice edition.

I'm saying Ron Paul does. He wants to change the law so that the children of illegal immigrants, even if born in the US, cannot be citizens. I have a problem with this on two different levels: on the constitutional level, I think it shows a lack of respect for the ideals that guide the...

I'm having way too much trouble deciding. Ron Paul looks good at first glance, but I have serious qualms about his immigration ideas, and what I perceive as a lack of respect for the constitution.

So does it mean that if they marry later, they've "divorced" Jesus?

Fortunately, she always carried a supply of moist towelettes in her purse.

Our earliest pumpkins are beginning to turn orange. We still have new ones budding. Boy, I can't wait to see our front yard come October!

Not only can you eat yogurt, you should! It is very good for you. During pregnancy, you have a higher risk for yeast infections, and yogurt will help to prevent them.

I couldn't vote for anyone who "doesn't support killing" but supports allowing it. I wouldn't vote for someone who supported the "choice" to kill redheads, or 17 year olds, or Jews. How is a baby any different? And for what it's worth, Planned Parenthood does not help women. They refuse to...

Obviously, avoid alcohol and tobacco, and check with doctor before taking even over the counter medicines. (Tylenol is ok, but aspirin, Advil, and Aleve are not. They thin the blood and can affect baby's development.) With cheeses, read the package. Avoid unpasteurized milk products. If it's...

This is what I've heard too. Evidently crawling helps children with the ability to mentally change modes, but it does not cause some aspect of the brain not to function. There are other things, too, that can have the same effect as crawling. For instance, when a child is all upset and not being...

Unfortunately, it was a special industrial kind and cost twenty bucks a roll.

Hypertot starts preschool next Tuesday. I'm mostly just curious to see how it goes. I'm not worried, because it's a great environment and I know he'll have fun. He's not terribly shy or anything. And now the nickname is official. He had his doctor's appointment today, and it went well. The...

I've seen God guide other people to their parking spaces, at least twice. Once, I was parked in front of a church to pick up my kids from a children's daylong retreat... and I locked the keys in the car. After looking all over, even asking at the rectory for a wire hanger, I came back out to the...

Unfortunately, as soon as the handyman began, he hammered his thumb and had to rush off for pain killer.

Unfortunately, the hardware store was closed.

My 11 and 16 year old started our homeschooling year today, in 7th and 12th. It went pretty well, and toward the end of the afternoon, when preggo mom fell asleep, they kept practicing Latin. I was pleased with that. And Shannon likes her geometry! I can't remember the last time she didn't think...

Fortunately, the rest of the gang were cleaning up the right pile of rubble.

Ok, I got the courage to post after seeing someone else post a similar one that worked out well. You prayer warriors are awesome! Our finances are a wreck, and we are very close to losing our house. Three weeks till we get a foreclosure notice. What happened is we went most of a year without...

Fortunately, they were still outdoors and it was a windy day, so the effect was minimized.
