    "The Music of Creation" by John Michael Talbot

    Anyone read it? I picked it up at the library, and it's very interesting. I think I like it, but I need to let it sink in some more. There are many nuggets of truth in it.

    Prayers for my nephew and his fiancee

    It's a good thing!! We found out that she is a Catholic (but her dad and her stopped going to church for some reason - she doesn't know why). Anyway, my nephew is full of the typical Protestant misconceptions about Catholicism. So, we have invited them up to our home for a weekend, and we are...

    Pic of baby Liam

    Drum roll, please

    Announcing the birth of Liam Patrick Gault!!! He was born at home, last night (02-03-03) at 9:00 p.m.  He is 10 lb 6 oz, and 21.5 inches long.  He sure is a sweet little guy, even though he wasn't the little Maggie we all hoped for. :)

    Breakfast today...

    At breakfast today, it was sooo cute!!  Tommy had just reminded me to pray, so we did.  He said, "May-min!" (Amen, in adult-speak).  Then, instead of his normal, "Tank-oo, Deezus!" (Thank you, Jesus) He started calling out, "Deezus, Deezus!!!  Meh-wee!" (Jesus, Jesus, Mary)...

    St Winifred (Nov 3)

    She's the saint involved in "A Morbid Taste for Bones"!  Now, I'm hooked on Br. Cadfael! :D  Interesting way to learn a bit of hagiography... ;)

    I'm needing some prayers too

    I think new baby is laying in a wierd position, and it is causing me a great deal of discomfort.  Especially my tailbone and lower back.  Please pray that the visit to the chiropractor's isn't too expensive and helps relieve the discomfort. Thanks! :)

    Prayers please.

    I am having a really difficult time with my mom right now.  I think she really needs the prayers more than me, but everybody in this situation really does.  I don't really know what the heck has happened in the last 24 hours, so I can't really explain it all, but please pray for...

    Theology behind Divine Mercy Chaplet

    Anyone want to go into deeper details about it?  I really love this devotion, and I was thinking about the prayers in the chaplet.  I think they are really good.  I was just curious about the theology behind it, coming from a Protestant background.  Like, here's a...

    Baby Avila update

    Since I didn't want to hijack the Freezer thread, I thought I'd share the baby Avila update in its very own thread! :) Baby and I are doing fine (thanks for asking, VOW).  It is getting to be quite the wiggle-bug (at almost 20 weeks along), including its regularly scheduled tapdance...

    VeggieTales

    The first song Tommy sings that is understandable - the VeggieTales theme song.  Pretty on-key too! Why do they make those videos so addicting?  DH and I would love to buy the whole collection today if we could afford it.  We have the new Jonah Sing-Along and just got the...

    How to get a toddler to take his medicine

    Just ask VOW!! :D  Seriously, though, mask the flavor.  VOW suggested chocolate syrup or maple syrup.  I used jelly & fed it on a spoon, especially since his medicine already tastes like berries anyway.  He even said, "pwea?" for more!  YAY!!! :clap:

    Cautiously resuming....

    After the few days break, I feel like I am ready to come back.  I am sorry to all if my behavior seemed confusing.  However, I have decided to "forgive and forget", and can't leave all my good buddies behind to hold a grudge. :hug: :kiss: :hug:

    Adieu CF

    Not coming back. :sigh: It was nice knowing you all.  If you want to keep in touch with me, VOW has my e-mail address. Sincere inquiries about my beliefs will be answered; attacks will not.

    God strikes again!!!

    I think I want a refund on my NFP book... :D Just kidding. God has decided to bless our family with another little one. It will be arriving sometime in late January/early February. We're so excited too! I mean, Tommy has been a huge blessing, how can it get any better? Maybe from the simple...
