Our Patient Father
People love to make fun of the songs we sang at church in the early 1970s, but I was a little girl then and I remember many of them fondly. Today’s Gospel took me back to that time instantly, to the refrain of a song written by Medical Mission Sister Miriam Therese...
Pro-life Profile: Juan Tello
Pro-life Profile is a new series I am publishing regularly. These brief interviews highlight pro-life leaders in order to dispel the preconceptions that predominate in the mainstream press and the minds of pro-choice people. I’ll begin with my Vita...
What I Read in September
Y’all, I am so late with this post that I missed the linkup! But I’m posting anyway because I want to remember what books I read and I am sure you were all waiting breathlessly to read about them. 😉 And the reason I am late is SO LAME. My post was erased,...
In the Sight of the Angels
I remain a parishioner at the church where I was baptized 55 years ago, meaning I have spent well over 2,000 Sunday mornings there. As a child, my mind and my eyes tended to wander, and the stained glass windows provided both entertainment and enlightenment, as they...
What I Read in August
August was NOT a reading month, y’all. Among other things (and aren’t there always other things?), Lorelei started her Senior year of high school, William started his fifth semester of college, and we moved my father across town. Lorelei now has a 7 a.m....
Seeking Humility
In a world obsessed with social media, many of us judge our worth by how often our posts are liked or shared by others, hoping to go viral, obsessively checking our phones throughout the day when we think we have shared something exceptionally profound or amusing....
What I Read in July
I finished my sixth book with just a day to spare and made my six book goal for July. You would think I would have an easier time meeting my goals in the summer but that has not seemed to be the case. Master of Middle-Earth by Paul H. Kocher I picked this up on...
Potter and Clay
Abba, Abba Father. You are the potter; we are the clay, the Work of Your hands . . . That is the beginning of a song I remember singing often at morning Mass when I was an 8th grader in parochial school. You probably recall the hymnal; it was ubiquitous in the early...
Vita Institute Recap
I promised to tell you more about the Vita Institute, and this post will be a start. I planned to write everything up as soon as I came home, but as I came down with COVID almost as soon as I returned, I did not have the energy for anything extra. I’m going to...

What I like to remember on September 11.
September 11: Remember the Love | Life in Every Limb

Everyone who’s old enough to remember has a 9/11 story. Mine is probably fairly typical of those of us with no personal connection to the events, and I’ve never written about it because it feels t...
And now the post you've all been waiting for--a belated review of 2022 in 12 pictures!
12 in 2022: A Year in Pictures | Life in Every Limb

Ten years ago, I joined a link up to post 12 pictures, one for each month of the previous year. When that link up ended, I found another one. Now that one no longer exists, but I’m still doing this ...
It's an annual tradition, very late, and it's a great way to learn more about me and my blog.

I present to you an annual tradition that is happening later and later: the best/favorite posts from the prior year, as picked by you (my readers) and me. YOUR favorites are simply the posts that got ...
Is a faith nurtured primarily by media slanted in one direction or the other likely to bear good fruit, like humility and love, or rotten fruit, like pride and hatred?
By Their Fruits | Life in Every Limb

“By their fruits you will know them,” we read in the Gospel. “ . . .[E]very good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tre...
We are all called to evangelize but there are many ways to go about it!
A Tale of Three Evangelists | Life in Every Limb

I have mentioned before that my favorite Gospel stories involve Peter, my favorite saint. I love Peter because he is relatable. He is human and makes mistakes, some bigger than others. Yet Jesus chose...
