Baby 4 arriving this fall! 🙏🏻 We are so excited!
Being a wife and mom are my two greatest earthly blessings, and I wish all women could experience the joy these roles bring.
At the same time, the false choice between girlboss and the aesthetic-centered, social media driven “trad” wife is holding Christian women back from finding fulfillment in the season the Lord has them in *right now.* The truth is, whether you are single or married, a mom or childless, there is purpose and satisfaction to be had in Christ. Don’t wait until some future milestone to start living fully the calling God has placed on you in this season.
I talked to @ConservateurMag about this and much more!
As someone who grew up as an altar server at my local Catholic church in Elmwood, it was great attending the St. John Vianney Parish Festival in Brookfield this weekend.
Events like these remind us that faith, community, and neighbors coming together keep Wisconsin strong.
Nearly a week into California's election shambles. The world is laughing at our inability to count votes in a timely manner. Where is Gavin Newsom?
No comment except to reject my plan to speed things up. We deserve better than a do-nothing, checked-out governor. Time for change!
“Today the Church shows the world the “Corpus Christi“ - the Body of Christ. And she invites us to adore him: “Venite adoremus“ - Come let us adore him.” —Pope St. John Paul II
Private Carlton Barrett was possibly the smallest man in his regiment.
5 feet 4 inches tall. 125 pounds.
On the morning of June 6, 1944, he landed at Omaha Beach in neck-deep water, machine gun fire cutting the surface all around him. He made it to shore.
Then he turned around and went back in.
A soldier was drowning. Barrett pulled him out. Then another. Then another. For hours, under constant fire, this 125-pound man waded back into the surf again and again, pulling drowning men to safety and physically carrying the wounded to evacuation boats offshore.
But he didn't stop there.
He ran dispatches the full length of the fire-swept beach. He found soldiers paralyzed by shock and calmed them back into action. He appeared wherever the crisis was worst, doing whatever needed doing, treating rank and personal safety as irrelevant details.
He did this for hours without stopping.
His Medal of Honor citation says his courage had "an inestimable effect on his comrades." That is military understatement for: this small, anonymous man held that section of beach together through sheer force of will.
He survived the war.
His comrades later said his life darkened after he came home. He lived quietly and died in 1986 in California, largely unknown outside of military history circles.
5 feet 4 inches. 125 pounds. He went back in.
Remember him.
From Bar Harbor to Belfast, Bangor to Portland - we've been all over Maine talking to voters about the Senate race.
Some say Graham Platner's tattoo of a Nazi symbol should disqualify him from office.
Others shrug and say he covered it up.
The divide here is real.
I’m so glad Ragtime won the Tony for Best Revival. The performances are rich and the show like an emotional tidal wave. The perfect show to celebrate America’s 250. (It was the best musical on Bway period!)
@krassenstein Most people would want to be in the group that the government has declared a victim in need of special privileges and laws to protect their upward mobility.
Racism against Black people in America is worse than racism against white people in America.
Both are bad, but imagine this thought experiment:
Consider a hypothetical society of 100 people: 98 are Black and 2 are white. Imagine that individuals from both groups hold equally racist views toward the other. In that scenario, which group would you rather belong to? Most people would recognize that being one of only two white people in the minority would likely be more difficult. The prejudice itself is equally wrong, but the lived experience and practical consequences can be very different when you are vastly outnumbered.
African Americans are Vastly outnumbered in America.
