~keeping faith & family close to heart in a modern world~


praying in old catholic church

“As the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest to settle her young, my home is by Your altars, LORD of hosts, my king and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They never cease to praise You.

Blessed the man who finds refuge in you, in their hearts are pilgrim roads. As they pass through the Baca valley, they find spring water to drink. The early rain covers it with blessings. They will go from strength to strength and see the God of gods on Zion.

LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; listen, God of Jacob. For a sun and shield is the LORD God, bestowing all grace and glory. The LORD withholds no good thing from those who walk without reproach.”

Below are links to sites that are some of my favorites. Check’em out!


Focus on the Family has countless resources on their website, including A LOT of pro-life content that can be easily shared with those who may need it.

Pro-Life – Focus on the Family

Abiding Together is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE podcasts. These women chat about important aspects of Catholicism that most Sunday Catholics don’t get exposed to. I listen to their podcast via apple/iTunes but their website also has some good content! Abiding Together (abidingtogetherpodcast.com)

Mom Heart Moments by Sally Clarkson is a daily devotional I recommend to everyone (and gifted copies to our moms last Mother’s Day – if you’re looking for ideas). Sally writes in good plain language with simple prompts at the end of each entry to engage further. It’s available thru Amazon, Target and Wal-Mart.

NABRE Catholic Journaling Bible by Our Sunday Visitor is an approved Catholic version Bible that actually looks decent… and I’ve seen some ladies paint the cover to give it a personal touch, too. It’s a tad pricey but worth it in my opinion (it’s my favorite!). It’s available at Amazon or visit the Christian Bookstore website to purchase and look around at their gifts/decor.
