Children Who Skip Naps

When parents beat by the day’s long work, deem their children should be long at rest but are still crawling walls at midnight, they ponder in stupor.


“I KNEW THEY WERE CRIMINALS!  If kids refuse to go to bed during nap time, then are they resisting a rest?”

Breakfast Served On Bone China

It is the Most Important Meal of the Day, after all…  Historic LOL.

Nothing like some fine bone china to kick off that most excellent meal.  Even the manliest know that delicate handling rules apply.

No Returns And No Refunds

When the house is a disaster and there is shrieking all about on a day when there is no school, some may ponder odd possibilities. 

If Only Parenting Were This Easy.  Historic LOL.

Christmas 2011

Mass Christmas day.  Repost.

Gospel. John.

Short version.

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came to be through him,
and without him nothing came to be.
What came to be through him was life,
and this life was the light of the human race;
the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world,
and the world came to be through him,
but the world did not know him.
He came to what was his own,
but his own people did not accept him.But to those who did accept him
he gave power to become children of God,
to those who believe in his name,
who were born not by natural generation
nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision
but of God.
And the Word became flesh
and made his dwelling among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory as of the Father’s only Son,

full of grace and truth.

Christmas Vigil.  Blessed time.  Repost

GospelMatthew.

Short version.

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.
When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
decided to divorce her quietly.
Such was his intention when, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
“Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.”
All this took place to fulfill
what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means “God is with us.”
When Joseph awoke,
he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him
and took his wife into his home.
He had no relations with her until she bore a son,

and he named him Jesus.
