A Christian Mystery
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Wednesday, June 09, 2010 12:00 PM
If your taste runs to suspense, you should add Dimiter
At one and the same time, Dimiter is a page-turning detective yarn, an affectionate portrait of the Holy Land, its people and Christ’s lingering presence there, and a story about the search for faith —all told with author William Peter Blatty’s mordant wit, acute powers of observation and truly beautiful writing.

Faith Parenting Alone?

In preparation for an upcoming talk I will be giving, I would love to hear from any of you who are raising your children in the faith on your own, or those of you who have friends, relatives or fellow parishioners who are dealing with this situation. The talk, entitled “Encouraging Married Parents Who Faith Parent Alone” will focus on how we, as Church, can build relationships between spouses with... READ MORE
Does the Internet Affect Your Prayer Life?

First of all, can I just say how happy I am to see Fr. James Martin writing for the Huffington Post? His words are always a breath of fresh air to this mom who finds most other entries there discouraging, if not disturbing, to Catholic thinkers.
His latest, Does E-Mail Make It Harder to Pray? How the Digital Age Is Changing Spiritual Life, is no exception.
There’s been a lot of online talk about the... READ MORE

Fruit Salad Stumped
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, June 08, 2010 10:45 PM
I like fruit, and I like the idea of fruit salad, but the reality often disappoints me.
The usual process: I cut up fruit and mix it together in a bowl, and then I dig in. It tastes fine. It tastes better than the individual fruits would on their own. But it doesn’t blow me away. I want it to blow me away.
I think I’m missing something. Dressing, perhaps? Or maybe there’s a correct combination of fruits that would create the magical taste I’m looking for.
This summer, I want to get fruit salad right. I’d love to have a recipe so delicious that I can’t wait to make it over and over again.
If you’ve had success with fruit salad, can you help me? I’d appreciate any recipes and/or tips you can give!

With high profile divorces much in the news, it’s good to remember that many marriages succeed.
Last Sunday Archbishop Donald Wuerl presided over a Mass in which almost 600 couples married 25 years or more renewed their wedding vows.
The annual blessing of long-married couples has become a tradition in the Archdiocese of Washington.
The Washington Post has the story.
What’s interesting is that none... READ MORE

Is Your Family Accountable?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Tuesday, June 08, 2010 12:00 PM
Last week at RBTE, I had the pleasure of meeting a very cool Catholic dad - Bo Govea, founder of 10-20-30GO! Bo and is wife, faced with the pressures of a growing family and a deeply held desire to help their children grow closer to God, took the initiative to design an “accountability system” that can help any family to find time for prayer, reading and household chores.
The basic blueprint for... READ MORE
How to Make Ice Cream in a Plastic Bag
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Tuesday, June 08, 2010 10:00 AM
So I found this cool link the other day, which told me how to make ice cream with a few simple ingredients and a couple of plastic bags.
I was enchanted. Cream, sugar, ice, plastic bags, and a little shaking ... What could be easier?
Oh, I don’t know, perhaps wrestling wild boars might be easier. By a long shot. I had no idea what I was in for.
You see that glowing candle in the foreground of this... READ MORE
