I feel sometimes like my brain is scattered to the ends like my hair was outside in the wind today. I try, but I know I fall far short of what He wants. I guess that's the human condition, huh? (Well, mine, anyway!)<BR/><BR/>MM & Wendy ~ Thank-you so much! Now if I can only heed my own advice, you know?<BR/><BR/>Dori ~ I love Margaret, too! &:o) I bet you knew that, having seen me over there. Isn't it funny the way the blog world works? We "pass" each other all the time, and only sometimes get to "meet." But, isn't it an amazing thing: our attention is drawn by ideas, and not by physical appearance, or whether someone looks "cool," or talk louder than everyone else (Though, actually, that does happen sometimes on here, doesn't it?). The blogosphere is an amazing "back fence" to meet over!<BR/> <BR/>btw~ I agree with you ~ Those boys of mine are a handsome bunch. But, then, I would think that, being their mom. They are a nice bunch, though, and that's even better. &:o) <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you way over there in Italy! How I'd love to go there someday! It's on my short list, neck-and-neck with Ireland!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636115320397120406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-20961323353004835092008-04-19T20:35:00.000-05:002008-04-19T20:35:00.000-05:00What a beautiful post, Lisa!What a beautiful post, Lisa!Wendy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617610975455575846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-80510331343384133072008-04-18T22:33:00.000-05:002008-04-18T22:33:00.000-05:00Wow!

I discovered your blog through Margaret in Minnesota, who is another one of my favorite bloggers. I'm Catholic and hope to be a mother someday, and I learn so much from these blogs. You guys are my role models!Dori Mathewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439183155059308283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-43335747529800199972008-04-18T14:05:00.000-05:002008-04-18T14:05:00.000-05:00Okay.

Maybe we can think of that as the "chuck wagon" where we go for all our spiritual nourishment?!<BR/><BR/>P.S. You are never dorky or preachy; instead, you are very insightful and wise.<BR/><BR/>God bless!Maria (also Bia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915816897999091636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-32252094732470889332008-04-18T13:23:00.000-05:002008-04-18T13:23:00.000-05:00Allie ~ Thank-you!

You're right ~ Taking care of each other is part of the whole picture!<BR/><BR/>Dori ~ It's so good to meet you! We had a geography lesson yesterday, because we happened chance upon our sitemeter map which shows where our readers are coming from ~ and we were delighted to see SOMEONE in Italy! And now we know who you are! &:o) How cool is that? Hello, and welcome! We're so glad make your acquaintance!<BR/><BR/>Marie and Laura ~ Thank-you. I always worry about being either dorky or preachy...

But it doesn't work that way, does it?

I'm so grateful that I stumbled upon your blog: there is so much I have learned from you and your writing! <BR/>Thank you for sharing your thoughts. <BR/><BR/>P.S.

There never is an easy fix--and suffering is all well and good till you're in the middle of it--it sure doesn't FEEL good. <BR/><BR/>If I were a real life friend (rather than virtual. . ) I would ask if we could pray and read the gospel togehter--then can we pack-up the kids and go for a walk? I'm itching to clean someone's fridge--can I attack yours? Oh--and here's a big salad and some whole wheat bread that I thought you'd like.<BR/><BR/>We all need to be taken care of sometimes.<BR/><BR/>God bless you!Goodwyf Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652025442360996923noreply@blogger.com
