    Life-Giving Love - Kimberly Hahn?

    Read it, liked it, still reference it from time to time. It is by Kimberly... not Scott, therefore the style is much different than Scott's books. There is enough doctrine and theology to make you think and enough everyday practical ancedotes to give it just the right mix of philosophy and...

    Magnificat? (prayer book)

    No, but I have looked at a sample. The kids version only has the Sunday readings, not the dailies. You can ask for a free copy through their website or by calling. Catholicmom.com does a nice weekly webpage that correlates to the weekly readings, so that might be a cheaper option if you want...

    worried

    :hug: Teal! :hug: Where two or more are gathered together... I would be very nervous too! I will pray that God will grant you a special peace and calmness as you go through the biopsy and await the results.

    NFP Question

    I disagree with this prediction. The CCLI instructors I have met are just thrilled that people want to learn, there is no disdain or judgement of people. In fact, you can order the book and learn without ever going to a class. I prefer sympto-thermal over Billings for three reasons...

    Help w/ cutting corners?

    No joke! Regarding the software: We purchase MS Money and while I consider myself pretty computer savvy, it frustrates me to no end. :mad: It takes hours getting all the accounts set up, budgets made, automatic downloads... all these things that are supposed to make it so easy, but even...

    Help w/ cutting corners?

    The envelope system works. We found that juggling the money all around was kind of a pain, so we just have a list on paper of how much we can spend in each category. When we worked out our last budget, here are some areas we were able to cut: 1. Dining Out - Don't do it!!! This includes...

    What do you read? What are you reading now?

    I never studied art, but very much enjoy looking at art books. That is one great thing about having a library card. Every library I've browsed has beautiful art books. I haven't checked any art books out in a long time... I thank you for the reminder. :)

    We met a nun today!

    Thanks for the website! I will check them out. I think the novice was present at the function. All the nuns were dressed in black or brown habits, but one was wearing a cream colored jumper with a cream colored habit. I've been through Black Canyon a couple times on our way to Sedona -...

    We met a nun today!

    I don't think so... they were only at our parish for the 10:30 mass which makes me think they must be going somewhere else later today. We heard they were coming last week and I made us pass up a camping trip so we could meet them. Then, in all the busyness of the week, I forgot completely...

    We met a nun today!

    Mother Angelica's Poor Clare nuns have started a ministry in Yuma, AZ. A group of Poor Clares from Yuma came to our parish today and I was hoping my children would get to meet a real live nun and find out what they do. Well, Sister Johanna got down on her knees and talked with all of my...

    Arizona!

    We moved here from CT last spring. :) I love it here - was raised in Florida, so the heat pleases me very much. :P CT was brutal for me. I pray God never sends me back... though my husband probably prays different prayers! He misses his family back East and wants to move back either to...

    Swimming with Scapulars

    One of the reasons I liked this book was because I felt like the author was in my world. Sometimes, I get this image of 'good' Catholics (meaning those who are in submission with church teachings and ideologies) that they all have 10 kids, wear headcoverings and for fun go see a Latin Mass...

    I haven't read this, but it looks relevant to the retreat: Understanding Our Father

    Scott Hahn books

    I saw Scott two years ago when he came to our diocese for a one day seminar. He was fantastic in person! He spoke on Mary and though I had already read 'Hail Holy Queen' there were amazing nuggets of information that were not covered in his book on the same subject. Reading the book...
