Comments on: Guilty Confessions http://snoringscholar.com/2009/10/guilty-confessions/ just another day of Catholic pondering by Sarah Reinhard Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:07:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sarah Reinhard http://snoringscholar.com/2009/10/guilty-confessions/comment-page-1/#comment-2624 Sarah Reinhard Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:18:32 +0000 http://snoringscholar.com/?p=4082#comment-2624 Indiana is pretty close, and of course you have the "Midwestern sensibility" so I'm sure our Grandma's Club would include all the essentials, like warm footwear, high carb dessert type foods, and, well, rosaries. (Because Mary's a grandma too, and imagine the cookies at HER house!) Thanks for your kind words about my role in your rediscovery of the rosary. I can only point up and smile, knowing that, given my own inclinations, I'd have kept quiet about so much of what I struggle with. To God be the glory, through that lovely vessel of Mary. :) Indiana is pretty close, and of course you have the “Midwestern sensibility” so I’m sure our Grandma’s Club would include all the essentials, like warm footwear, high carb dessert type foods, and, well, rosaries.

I'm right down the road (well, kind of) in Indiana. Shari P.S. As a convert (9 years!) who has struggled with my relationship with Our Lady, your blog has really inspired me to restart a commitment to the Rosary. Thank you so much! Sarah,

That's pretty serious. Good thing your wife knows about it. Did you know that I am neither a priest (so I can't bless you) nor Abbey (so you can't trust my advice as you can with some columnists)? Well, that's my disclaimer to this comment. So, all that said, I think only a trip to Ohio will make things better. Oh, and you'd better not forget your lovely bride OR the dogs. (I'm just sayin.)

They don't have to be my kids' kids (because of some struggles with infertility and such around us, you might say I have a heightened awareness of placing this pressure on them), but when I'm gray enough, I'm going to FIND KIDS TO SPOIL AND LOVE! :) You and I can be the founders of the Grandma Club, yes? :) Shari, I think grandma-ing is the real reward of motherhood.

No obligation for YOU to list YOURS. And you're right. I guess, in a way, I was making fun of our use of the word "guilt" too... Oh no! No obligation for YOU to list YOURS. And you’re right.

I have this lady blogger that I've developed a deep affection for... I like to tease her... to compliment her... to pay attention to her... I mean I'm happily married... and my wife knows about this. What penance do you think appropriate for a guilty person like me?

People look at me like I'm crazy. But if by a grandma you mean my kids are grown up, healthy, happily married, faithful Catholics who have a ton of children I can spoil and send home, then yes, that's exactly what I want to be. :) Sarah, I’m glad I’m not the only one out there who wants to be a grandma.
