Our Marching Orders from God?
Our Marching Orders from God?
By Tess Shore
Forgiveness is not about ourselves. It is about forgiving the person who caused the offense and moving on. Repentance is rebuilding the relationship with the other person and rebuilding the trust that was lost.

The Corporate Nature of Prayer
The Corporate Nature of Prayer
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Of late, I’ve been thinking about the corporate nature of prayer. It’s a formal phrase and is misleading because corporate implies big business in these days of mega-corporations; despite the shortcomings, the phrase is fitting. In this context, I speak about the origin of the word, corpartus or ‘to form into a body’ and am using that metaphor rather than that of commerce.

Atheists' Objections to Evidence for God's Existence, Part 6
Atheists' Objections to Evidence for God's Existence, Part 6
By Bob Hunt
There are two kinds of evidence for God’s existence that will be considered in these articles: philosophical and empirical. Philosophical evidence is more what we call arguments, and there’s a long philosophical tradition of considering arguments both for and against the existence of God.

Celebrating the Thunderstorm!!
Celebrating the Thunderstorm!!
By Elizabeth Thomas
My day started off, or rather finished as I ended my night shift-- with a big boom, like an unexpected clap of thunder. In a hurry, a foot got caught and pain resulted in another’s life—because of me. Driving home I was in tears, angry at life and the frustration of trying to keep going, doing the best you can and encountering the overwhelming obstacles that hinder the process.

But, LORD, I Homeschooled Him!
But, LORD, I Homeschooled Him!
By Jennifer Elia
Well, school has begun. After months of researching, planning, charts, lists, and book shopping--we are here in our school, which looks an awful lot like our kitchen. While others are posting about first day victory dances at the bus stops, champagne toasts, and kid-free afternoon celebrations; us homeschoolers are breathing deeply, girding our loins and plowing ahead.

I have created a short survey to ask you three simple questions, so I can see what you are interested in reading! I do this so I can connect more to all of you, and together we can grow stronger in the faith of the Apostles, and our faith.

How Is Your Heart Doing?
How Is Your Heart Doing?
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
Many Muslim cultures have an intriguing way of greeting, ” Hello, how are you?” The English translation to the Persian greeting is “How is your heart doing at this very moment? At this very breath?” Head of Islamic Studies Omad Safi suggests that is what we mean when we say “How are you?” We mean to ask, “How is your heart?”

Just Keep Swimming
Just Keep Swimming
By Lori Conklin
I haven't been able to write for at least a week. The temptations are coming in all forms now. It is a whirlwind of distractions, busyness, injuries, car issues and of course plumbing problems. It is all par for the course.

A Pilgrimage: A Call To Step Out In Faith
A Pilgrimage: A Call To Step Out In Faith
By Lori Conklin
Funny things happen when you decide to step out of your comfort zone and do something you might never think you would do. After attending the initial meeting for our September Papal visit, I was so full of hope and overwhelmed with the knowledge of how many people would travel to Philadelphia to see the Holy Father.

An Urgent Prayer Request for All People
An Urgent Prayer Request for All People
By Jennifer Elia
I have hosted a Novena of Novenas before. I think it is time I do so again. The conditions for Christians in the Middle East are beyond horrendous! When the photos were released of the Holocaust, the world vowed, never again! Yet, photos are flooding out of the largest and most vicious genocide ever, and our world is waiting and watching in silence.

What Photography Taught Me About Prayer
What Photography Taught Me About Prayer
By Marlee Klopfer
A friend of mine recently let me borrow his old, Pentax film camera. I love photography, but have only ever used digital cameras. Curious and excited, I began learning how to use this new camera and soon realized that much more work went into capturing one photo than I had thought.

Who Would Listen to a Reformed Bad Girl?
Who Would Listen to a Reformed Bad Girl?
By Leslie Shaw Klinger
I am the mother of dead children who never made it past birth, which is a different status from those who have children still running around on the earth or who lost children at young ages. Parents like me are not given the same respect, which is not said as a means to gather sympathy; rather, I am simply sharing my experience.

Why FOCUS Is So Important
Why FOCUS Is So Important
By Lizzie Schwebel
Before coming to college, I didn't have a personal relationship with Christ. I knew what it meant to be a Christian and Catholic, but that's about the extent of it. I was born and raised Catholic and attended Catholic school kindergarden through seventh grade.

Christ Asleep
Christ Asleep
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
The first time I actually thought about being in a fishing boat in a raging storm with Christ asleep on a cushion, was during a meditation given on that Gospel passage shortly after I converted to Christian Catholicism. The Legionnaire priest giving the meditation guaranteed my undivided attention because of the simple imagery he used when he applied this Gospel passage to my life

Just Offer It UP
Just Offer It UP
By Lori Conklin
I got home late last night after attending a leadership meeting at our Parish. We are on the verge of a revival of sorts after a long line of unfortunate events that should have shut us down. I keep looking at the events as they unfold in the spiritual sense, as everything that happens to us has meaning in this realm.

The Bicycle
The Bicycle
By E.M. Wilson
So a few days back I was talking with my cousin and somehow the topic of heaven came up. I told him that I want to see what the Saints see when they die- I want the Beatific Vision, which, just to put us all on the same page, is the direct communication of God to the individual person (ie heaven in full) and my cousin was like "ooohhhhhh no I could never be a saint."

What I Learned from the Early Christians about Spiritual Growth, Part 6: We need the Truth
By Carl Sommer
Human beings all have differing intellectual capabilities. Some excel at book learning, some learn by observing nature, and still others learn by doing. Some learn new ideas and come to new thoughts quickly. Others, who are just as intelligent, process information at a slower pace. These differences are given to us by God.
