just another day of Catholic pondering by Sarah Reinhard
Last week, if you had asked me, in all seriousness, where God’s favorite place was on earth—or if he even had one—I would have probably wrinkled my eyebrows and then defaulted into “Well, duh! Ohio!” as a non-answer. Because, really? A favorite place on earth? For God? Blame the Patheos Book Club (again!) for introducing me to [...]
Today I’m guest posting over at Kathleen Basi’s place as part of her great new book’s blog tour. She asked me to reflect on the “rubber meets the road” commandments, the 4th-10th, and how they tie in with the Beatitude, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” So often, I love the thinking, [...]

For one thing, there’s the title. Pat has a streak of sassy New England, and she also has a swash of [...]
Spring is well underway–with all its gusty unpredictability, and I’m left with a lot of mud on my hands. It’s on our shoes, in the yard, and seemingly on flat surface of my home on some days. I can’t help but be grateful on so many levels. Mud means spring, and spring means many of my [...]
A day in 2005. I was a new mom, a fairly new hand at parish secretarying, and still very much a searching sort of newbie Catholic. My baby was napping, I was trying to get work done, and I have no idea what clued me in to turn on the little 14-inch (or was it [...]
I'm a Catholic wife and mom who has a bit of an obsession with reading, horses, and things geeky. This blog is my journey through life, and I'll try not to be TOO random, but I make no promises. Read more about me at my author site.
