Spring Break Fun

Our kids will be on spring break next week and we're looking for something fun to do with them.  We may take a short trip to see family, but may end up staying in town and doing the zoo or the children's museum.  What do you do for fun in your area? 

Gospel Reflection

This weekend, we see Satan trying to tempt Jesus.  The one line that stands out for me is when Jesus replies, "The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve."  I certainly don't worship other gods, but I do find myself being drawn to other things in life that take me away from God...TV, computer, phone, etc.  It seems that I need a constant reminder to let those things go and focus on God.  Thankfully, our Lord is merciful and knows me better than I know myself.  What stands out for you?

Friday Fun Day

Sorry I missed yesterday.  I was in bed sick for a couple days.  I have great news today.  My husband accepted a new job this morning!  Thank you for every prayer sent our way.  We would have never made it through the last eight months without your prayers and support.

So now on to the weekend...big plans?  I have the Rite of Election on Sunday afternoon with our RCIA group.  Other than that, we plan on celebrating our good news by just spending time together.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

To dust we shall return....

What are your thoughts on this Ash Wednesday?  Have you ever had an unusual experience while wearing your ashes?  Do you, like me, feel bad when it's time to wash your face to go to bed?  ;)

And could you please keep my husband in your prayers today?  He has his interview this morning.  Thank you!

Laissez le bon temps rouler!

Let the good times roll!  It's Fat Tuesday!  Let's celebrate!  Can you tell I'm Cajun French and grew up in the south?  Today is a party for our family.  I have many fun memories of parades, beads, and king cake.  What are you doing to splurge on this day before Ash Wednesday? 

Kids and Lent

Let's share ideas today.  How do you include your children in your Lenten devotion?  What sorts of activities do you do as a family?

Gospel Reflection

I love this weekend's gospel reading!  You all know we're praying for a job right now and it is quite comforting to hear Christ remind us that there is absolutely no need to worry about things.  "Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself."  Thank you, Jesus!
