Wednesday, September 17, 2008. They were both on my lap, each elbowing the other. I wanted my coffee but it was too far out of reach and lukewarm now. “Can you stop that, please? We had moved into the living room, where I cleared a spot on the love seat and grumbled at the kids about the mess, their bickering, and their antsy-ness, before opening to Chapter 6 in the book,. Grandmother’s Spiritual Stories: An Orthodox Treasury of Stories for Young and Old. Keep your hands away from your sister, please!

Saturday, May 23, 2009. In general, I was a late bloomer - a late walker, always the shortest in my class, the last to lose my baby teeth, and the last, the very last to ride a two-wheeler. At seven-years-old, most of my peers were already zipping past me on their banana-seated Huffys and I was dying, aching,. To keep up with them. Up until that point, the point of. I think I can do it! He obeyed and immediately I leaned sideways. The bike, with me on it, came down hard. What is the matter with you?

Wednesday, January 21, 2009. What’s fun for Mary, is abhorrent to her siblings. Several times a day I call out like the Little Red Hen,. Who will help me sweep the floors, fold the clothes, stir the batter? I’m much too busy. But my youngest, Miss. 8220;I will”. Ten years ago, I was enamored with faith,. Who will deny himself, pick up his cross and follow me? I answered eagerly, and I meant it. I meant it also when, at the age of twenty-two, I told my future husband, Troy, that, Yes! I meant it two years...

Tuesday, April 21, 2009. It's been eleven years, so many years since I've felt that stretch and strain (that thrill and terror) accompanying our conversion process from Protestantism to Orthodoxy. Just this afternoon, however, it came back to me in an instant - the fear, the hope, the hugeness of it all, by way of an interview conducted by Deacon Michael Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishing. And host of the popular " At the Intersection of East and West. And now CEO of Conciliar Media Ministries. So be...

Thursday, October 23, 2008. Why, oh mercy, can’t I shut out the noise of my half-baked thoughts and lose consciousness? Stand me up, sit me down and I’ll drift off like a narcoleptic but here, in my bed, all reclined and covered with blankets, there’s too much pressure to take advantage of this. Fleeting opportunity to achieve sanity via quiescence, to make up for those nights void of any relief from exhaustion - my exhaustion putting a strangle hold on the normalcy I took for granted before. To send out...

Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Last May, I received a phone call from my nine-year-old son, Elijah, but I couldn’t understand him due to his intermittent sobbing between just about every other sentence, “I’m in trouble,” he was whispering (at least I think that’s what he said), “but I’m not sure why.”. There is so much I simply cannot comprehend about her multi-faceted identity as the Mother of God. Elijah’s teacher got on the phone, “Mrs. Sabourin, we’ve had an incident.”. The moment she willingly accepted w...

Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Understanding the Cross of Christ. To hear Father Thomas Hopko's warm and outstanding, "Understanding the Cross," lecture. I promise, it will be worth your while!

Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Part of our lives all over again? 8221; And immediately I thought of my teenage years, my early twenties, how I reacted last week to a string of certainly aggravating but hardly earth-shattering disappointments and I shuddered at the idea of being forced to observe repeatedly my past foolishness and folly. Thank goodness for fresh starts and new beginnings. We have mornings, Sundays, apologies and the 1. What’s that you say? You need more clarification? Ideals, only to watch...
