Last week, I emailed the sweet friends at Hope Spoken to let them know that I wouldn't be going. It is just too close to my due date. My heart was set on going. I was going to be a small group leader this year and I already had dreams and plans of wonderful...
Catholic
Meet each other with a smile…
Right outside of mom and dad's front door is a beautiful tree, loaded with red berries. When it rains, the berries shine like diamonds and greet everyone that walks by. I've been watching the resolutions and wishes and hopes for the New Year scroll by on Facebook and...
Christmas 2014 – no fancy pictures
As we finished packing for Texas, Brian reminded me to pack my camera. I was feeling pretty overwhelmed, so I opted just for phone pictures this year. If I wasn't allowed to lift and I can't ask Riley to drag around my carry on 🙂 the phone camera would have to do....
Pre-term labor, rest, and praise

This was recorded live at Mass a few weeks ago. When I sing it, I think about the room being empty - and really, really singing just to Him. And then, I let the room slowly fill back up - and I hope that people realize that we are on Holy Ground.
How would we act if we really believed?
When I visited the Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City, I stood outside taking pictures before Mass on Saturday evening. I heard runners approaching from my right and looked up to make sure I wasn't in their way. I saw a crowd of shiny green uniforms running...
Party of five or six?

Just a little Sunday night song for your heart...
