Extreme Empathy

Thanks to your prayers, I slept like a log. I don’t have to go in for this blood test for some hours yet, so I will calm myself by returning to “Let’s Praise Men Week.” (In case you didn’t read my terrified midnight post, by 14:20 British Summer Time I will be in a waiting-room waiting to have a blood test.

QUOTATION: Hurt

Thumbnail

You must expect that these poor sinners in the Church are going to get hurt and that they are going to hurt each other. To be let down by the Church is not a reason to leave her, any more than to be let down by your family is a reason to give up family life and move to a desert island.

Love Letter: Baby Boy

Baby boy, I want you to be able to look back after you’re born and all grown up and know how loved you were before we’d ever seen your face. You haven’t had the chance to make us love you with your sweet face, beautiful eyes, and new baby smells.

Child Protection Should Operate Under Same Principles as Other Agencies

On the Family Coalition Party website:The CAS should operate under the principles of fundamental justice; due process, innocent until proven guilty, substantiated evidence, with the right to face your accusers. The CAS should also act in the best interest of the child, basing their actions on reasonable evidence, not personal opinions….It is not a breach of privacy to, without names or identifying information, keep a public record of case summaries, findings and decisions.

Jar Joy

Thumbnail

I was inspired by this little post at Oh So Lovely, so I decided to put up my own pictures of my jar storage. I like storing foodstuff in jars (as opposed to opaque bags or plastic tubs) because not only is it practical (you can see the contents), it’s also lovely. I enjoy the variety of colours and textures behind the glossy glass

I guess it’s no sillier than camping

But then again, MY kind of camping involves hot running water, a queen size bed, and somewhere to recharge my iPod. It’s just not what comes to mind when I think “hotel”.
