Two-Part Story Completed at Last
I've finally finished my two-part fan fiction, But It's Still a Child. I guess you can tell by the title that this is a pro-life story.

Little Things
[Old post, reposted]
I love this quote from my Patron Saint, Therese of Lisieux, whose feast we celebrate today:
"Pick up a pin for the love of God, and you may save a soul."
How right, how wise! We may not be called to do great things,but we can do the little, everyday tasks for the love of God, and then how great, how valuable those little tasks become.
No work is menial if it is done for the love of God.

Crowded Refrigerator
Now that I'm living in a new place, and have a new refrigerator, there isn't as much space for my collection of decorative magnets. So now, I don't display my entire collection at the same time.
Instead, I have only magnets relating to a certain theme on my fridge. My current theme is
"Food and Drink."
Actually, I could have built an entire collection on that theme alone!
