A probable hiatus
Things are getting busy around here. I’m headed to Chicago next week to speak (come have lunch with me!), then RI for a parish visit where Phil and I will talk and host a Q&A (come have a chat!).
And then we are entering Wedding Zone — our Will is getting married! We are of course super excited!
And not only will he be taking The Big Step with his lovely Jaime, but of course the family will be gathered from the four winds, which I’m greatly looking forward to!
So I will not be here much for about a month. You could poke around the archives and catch up with the many fascinating links I have posted, most of which are not time-restricted. In fact, sometimes I’ll be looking for something and come across an older bits & pieces post and be quite taken with the engrossing, riveting, and thoughtful articles I’ve put here! I’ll think — “Well, that was quite interesting!” Maybe you will as well.
I will see you later. Don’t forget to buy books and follow us in all the places (listed below). Think about what you’d like to talk about when I come back! I almost have too many ideas to choose one!
bits & piecesI am a little obsessed with Antiques Roadshow, and of course finding an actual Roman bust at Goodwill would be an adventure!
Listen to this little gem of a hymn.(It will be a prelude at Will’s wedding!)
Sister Maria Bernadette of the Cross — the story of a 20th-century Polish nun who trod the quiet road of sacrifice for love of Christ.
Down with revisionism! A few years ago my dear husband surprised me with tickets to a Mozart opera in Boston. The actual music was sublime; the production was awful, an assault on reason. You cannot make Don Giovanni into a feminist rant.
I was interviewed by Stephanie Burke from Spiritual Direction on Hidden Graces: Rediscovering God’s Design for Women.We didn’t get to all the questions — when I look at them, I definitely want to answer them! Maybe I will have a chance to soon.
