Some of our cousins moved back east. We miss them. Due to a family illness, the kids are spending some time in town and we couldn't miss the opportunity to spend some time with them.
We wouldn't have thought some of those big kids would have been up for hide-and-seek ... and yet they all were! What wonderful fun in the park they all had.
Uncle Mike and Aunt Linda arranged for us all to get together -- the kids all had a blast -- especially my kids who have been missing their cousins!
I just read your article in the latest IAHE Informer called: "Battle for Diligence: Character Formation" and I am disturbed by your diction. At one point you say, "Our greatest desire is to love, nurture and provide for our children." Yet, in almost every sentence you use the unloving diction of a war-monger. I live if Fort Wayne, too, and it worries me that your war-like message is perceived by your fellow Christians as good and proper, as evidenced by your article finding its way into print. I would suggest that you take a moment to look deep inside yourself to see why you are so ready for war. Perhaps, instead, you could maintain a decorum more in tune with your so-called message of "peace". Good day.
The battle is a spiritual battle that touches every area of our lives and that of our children. Our children's future emotional, intellectual & spiritual capacity is a fight worthy of the battle. Since we don't live in Eden, but in a fallen world which seeks the destruction of everything that glorifies God, we have no alternative but to give succum as victims to the spiritual battle or fight it. Our tactics are the loving and firm boundries along with prayer that our enemy would rob us of utilizing. I would be happy to discuss this further if you had the courage to sign your name.
I'm a "take me as I am with all my flaws showing" type of girl. I love Jesus. He's the one who allows me to have this FULL, JOY-FILLED, CHAOTIC life.
I am, by nature, an unorganized party girl. My ideas of parties have changed through the years, but I still love entertaining. Kid parties are my forte at the moment. Books I like : What's Going on in There? : How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life by Lise Eliot, Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism by Scott & Kimberly Hahn, For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, Rediscovering Catholism: Journeying Toward Our Spiritual North Star by Matthew Kelly, Back to Virtue: Traditional Moral Wisdom for Modern Moral Confusion by Peter Kreeft, Making Senses Out of Scripture: Reading the Bible As the First Christians Did by Mark P. Shea (THIS GUY IS A RIOT!), Catholic Education: Homeward Bound : A Useful Guide to Catholic Home Schooling by Kimberly Hahn and Mary Hasson,
