    What do you know about finding and collecting Erzgebirge wooden figurines. I saw some today, and it totally gave me the collectors itch. Can you still find them at sales at a reasonable price or are they too collectable?

    Laughing so hard right now

    I'm watching the Today Show, and New Kids on the Block is performing. I loved them when I was a kid. But, they came on with these creepy white masks, and then they take them off and start singing Hangin' Tough. And, Danny Walberg is wearing his cap to the side all old school. I seriously...

    Potentially controversial video

    I want to post this with a caveat. I'm not posting this because I have any deep seated problems with Islam, but rather because I'm interested in how culture is passed on and preserved. This video presents an interesting question: Has Christianity contracepted its culture out of existence...

    Flannery O'Connor on the church's teachings about birth control

    I thought some on OBOB might get a chuckle out of this quote. It's from a letter she wrote to a friend: "The Church’s stand on birth control is the most absolutely spiritual of all her stands and with all of us being materialists at heart, there is little wonder that it causes unease. I wish...

    Baby filled weekend!

    I wanted to thank everyone for all your prayers. I had a great weekend with my mom and Aaron's parents. I got pretty sick on Saturday night, and was exhausted by the end of the weekend, but I was able to enjoy the many things we did. Aaron and I are so incredibly blessed, and our little boy...

    Prayers please
