Dumb Blonde Jokes
Illegal in Austria. You’re just
going to have to read this post by Matthew Archbold of Creative Minority Report as
well as the comments beneath it, because, well, just do it. My comment on thispriceless post was: “Matt, thank you for alerting us to this bleached
breach of peace and political correctness in our society. It never occurred to me how extremely
dangerous our country and world has become particularly because dumb blonde
jokes are allowed to fly rampantly. This
sheds new highlights on everything and will certainly help us get to the root
of the problem before the rest of us become tragic victims of the blonde
bombshell. Somebody should alert
Homeland Security immediately as to the true security risk out there. TGIF indeed!”

The Epiphany
and Total Consecration Connection:
I was very excited I’d remembered to bring the remaining Total Consecration packets that had been on a bookshelf at our apartment. I invited everyone present at the CursilloEpiphany party last Friday evening to take one with them.
After
experiencing a deeper conversion when I first made myConsecration to Jesus through Mary while in high school, you’d think I
would have made it a higher priority to get these powerful prayers in people’s
hands sooner than later, but I didn’t. Thank you, RayMooney, and all who have been working so hard to spread the word about this most beautiful and powerful devotion. For more information or to place an order for your own FREETotal Consecration packets, visit the MyConsecration website.

My Patron Saint for
2012. I figured I’d go ahead and use Jennifer
Fulwiler’s Saint’s Name Generator to find out who my patron saint is for this year. I’m not all that surprised by the result: St. Joan of Arc. I find it interesting that the patron saint
of France would be the one I picked for this year, considering the next section
of the spiritual memoir for me to write is about my time in France and what
came from that period of my life in terms of prayers, healing, and Truth. To find your patron saint for 2012, click here.

Sisters, Sisters…Sunday afternoon, the
women I served on team with for Christ Renews His Parish, and I made the trek
over the golf course and through the woods to Nora’s for a deliciously
wonderful Epiphany party. Laughter,
hugs, time to catch up, delectable food, and great people made for two
spectacular get-togethers this past weekend.
Kevin came with me for the first one, but he opted out of the second
one.

The Virtue of Hope The
only things I asked for this Christmas were for three books by the
inspirational Christian author, Kim Meeder.
I’ve finished reading all three books of hers that I’d requested and
received from Kevin, and I’m still examining the hints of hope in my own life
and faith journey. I have a strong
feeling it will play an important part in the theme of the spiritual memoir I’m
working on about how God brought Kevin and me together and has continued to
draw us closer to Him.

Elect Officials with
Hope Kevin and I aren’t usually really inspired by politicians, for the
obvious reasons, but over the holidays we met with someone who has given us a reason
to believe there is hope for some on the political scene. While he was home to visit family, we met
with a friend from J. R. Tucker High School who is running for Mayor of Orlando, Florida. I hadn’t known Mike Cantone all that well in high
school, though we did work on the Gavel newspaper staff together. We’d been in touch a bit more frequently over
Facebook ever since he asked me to pray for his mom.
