I gave one of my sons the game, Bananagrams, for Christmas and
it became an obsession for some of us. We've played over 100 times since
Christmas day, including a “Bananagrams Madness” tournament at our little New
Year's Eve gathering. (I admit that I am one of the people that look forward to
playing whenever someone else is willing. Scrabble has always been one of my
favorite games and Banangrams is similar with a quicker pace!)
Keeping on the topic of favorite things, one of my favorite
feast days recently passed; Our Lady of Lourdes. Growing up, I really didn't
learn much about the saints despite attending Catholic elementary school. It
wasn't until I was a young adult that I started to read more about my faith,
which included the lives of the saints.
About
21 years ago and only about 2 years after my reversion...I am a cradle Catholic
who, beyond going to Mass on Sundays, didn't really have a relationship with
God until I was about 20...my husband, Jay, was going through a rough time with
his first of three grad school clinicals. He had been placed in a setting where
his supervisor was unprofessional and had an issue with men. It was a very
negative atmosphere and a very stressful time. At the time of the clinical, we
had three little boys under 5 and I was pregnant with our first daughter. I was
working part time and really worried about Jay and everything he was going
through.
.....Today my post is being featured on Catholic Sistas!! I'm really excited for this opportunity to be a contributor! Just click here to head over and read the rest of my story!
