Renaming the blog..
When I first started this blog, I came up with the name in less than ten seconds and I knew from the start I’d eventually be changing it. Changing your blog name (and url) can be confusing for your followers, but luckily I don’t have too many of those yet. I hope by the time one feels right, I’ll have more though! So, update whatever you need to, because Straight on til’...

Word of the Week
I originally decided to start this on Monday, as that’s the traditional beginning of the week, but today’s Tuesday and since I’ve had (blog) writer’s block I figured why not!
Every week I’ll be posting a new word I’ve dragged out of the dictionary. Everyone can improve their vocabulary, and I mean everyone. When I cringe at the lack of proof-reading even in the...

Home Management Binder
Inspired by Kim (found over at Transitus Tiber), I’ve decided to make a go and create our own little Home Management Binder (henceforth referred to as the HMB). I found a terrific post on the ‘meat and potatoes’ of what’s inside Lizzie’s HMB over at her blog, and to be honest, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed! I know it’s a process and we’ll get...

My chosen speaker is Dr. Tim Gray, a popular author and a modern day scripture scholar.

I’m doing the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk 2009 - Please help my fundraising by donating $1!
If I can get 100 people to donate just $1, I can riase $100. It’s a small drop in the bucket, but it’s better than nothing. Please help out if you can, and please forward this to as many people as you can.
Also, if anyone else would like to attend a walk, but can’t, or there...

Catholics Are NOT Cannibals!
“If Christianity has nothing to do with cannibalism, how do you explain communion? If you believe in trans-substantiation, you are consuming human blood and flesh. If you do not believe in the literal transformation of wine and crackers, you are still pretending to commit a cannibalistic act.”
I found this on a forum I visit, amidst a bit of wanking back and forth regarding a woman...

Support Alzheimer's Research | Whitney's Birthday... →
This birthday I’d like to raise money to support Alzheimer’s Research. If only twenty people donate my birthday age (23), we could raise $460. Only a drop in the bucket, but a lot of little drops can make an ocean. Watching someone you love go through this disease is heartbreaking, and I speak from personal experience on that. So, please, if you could donate $23 to support...

Common Misconceptions About Catholics
While at work the other day a man began preaching to me about scripture and if I had found Jesus or not, and as one thing let to another I casually mentioned I was Catholic. Oh, you should have seen the look of terror in his eyes! That look of, “She’s going to Hell! I need to back away slowly, else she’ll take me with her!!” - the same look I got from my mother when I posed...
