Parenting from the Heart and Praying for Grace. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. The Spiritual Worth of Giving Up. Spring is one of those times. The time of Easter. The time of Renewal. And the Giving Up.

(Some of us clean our digestive tracts! This explanation, while simple to understand, fails on a few levels. All one has to do is look around and see ...

Parenting from the Heart and Praying for Grace. Thursday, July 29, 2010. Mary's Sand and Water Table. A few weeks ago, my Dad came up to Western NY to help me get some things done around the house. He brought this with him! This is the sand-and-water-play table I "commissioned" about a month before when I was in Pittsburgh visiting the family. Of course, he did like it. Who wouldn't want to make something for this little sweetpea? It sits just off the back porch near the garage. She loves it! Best of Blo...

Parenting from the Heart and Praying for Grace. Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Some of you may wonder why I seem to be so philosophical and emotional about the loss of a dog. After all, dogs are not people. They really can't love back the way people do. Their brains don't work that way, science tells us. They are all about the pack and they will forget the weak in a heartbeat in order to survive. So says Science. And then, there's Canucu. He was thin, weak, and sickly. He had no ...
