Wait is a Four Letter Word
By Catherine Tomlinson
All good things come to those who wait. It's a catchy little saying that rolls off the tongue with a smile. We wait for a lot of things. We wait for the right job, the right partner, the right timing. We wait for the money to be right or when we have the right house. We wait in line, we wait our turn, we wait.

Grandma Cries at Church...and I Know Why
Grandma Cries at Church...and I Know Why
By Catherine Tomlinson
Growing up, my cousins and I would all attend church with our grandparents. We were your typical kids at Mass. We'd poke, whisper, and squeeze each others hands so hard until it hurt during the Our Father. Our parents would give us "the look", our grandfather would tap us on our heads and shake his head. Grandma? She cried.

What Are You Waiting For?

I have a habit that is particularly annoying to my wife. When I’m in the car, I am constantly changing radio stations. Even when I hear a song that I like, I often wonder if I am missing something else better and hit the search button again.

10 Miracles of Marriage
By Melanie R. Cameron
It occurred to me the other day, how much of a miracle it is just to wake up to the gift of another day of life! Then I pondered the double miracle that the man who poured the Grace of Matrimony on me, the man upon who I poured the Grace of Matrimony, wakes up next to me to the gift of another day.

Looking for God's Light in the Darkness of Miscarriage
By Lauren Megel
I was 16 weeks pregnant when we found out I had miscarried our third child. Thinking we were just going in for a quick appointment, we had taken our daughters, ages two and four, with us. I looked at the ultrasound screen expecting to see our wiggly little peanut doing swirls and dips and dives; but instead I saw our baby laying there, still and lifeless.

The 42nd March for Life And Continuing to Do God's Will
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
Thursday morning started out way too early. By the faint light of the moon, we rose at 4am and began the task of getting ten people woken up, bundled up, filled up and buckled up. Spirits were high, though still a bit groggy, when our big van rounded the driveway in route for a long journey.

If Your Food Is Organic, Why Isn't Your Family Planning?
By Tara K. E. Brelinsky
We no longer drink diet soda, eat a growing variety of sweets or chew gum because of artificial sweeteners. My husband switched us to tooth polish without fluoride and soap without antibacterial agents. Our eggs come free-ranged and our produce organic. Attending home school functions nowadays, we have to be mindful of gluten, nuts and food dyes in whatever we bring to share.
