Daily Heroism

Every day, thousands of cops and firefighters perform an act of heroism. This action will not be mentioned in the news media, because it is not dramatic. It is, rather, a simple, routine act.
And what is this act of heroism? It is nothing more... or less...
than starting another day on the job.

Weekday Books

"Class-ified Information:  Yaffa"

These books are companion volumes, each covering
the same time period (a year in 8th grade) from the
first-person viewpoint of a different girl in the class,
and can be read in any order.  Certain incidents which
take center stage in some books may get just a brief mention, or none at all, in others.
Also, each girl's home life is different, of course.

I'd Like To See Fifty Shades of Grey.

That's right!  I'm a Catholic blogger who would really, really like to see fifty shades of grey.
At the movies?
No.
On video?
No.
On television?
So just where would I like to see fifty shades of grey?
In a crayon box!

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
