http://celestepalermo.blogspot.com/2010/03/church-and-donuts.html
Thoughts on life, faith, fun, ministry, mothering, and more. Thursday, March 25, 2010. Out of the Mouths of Babes. 8220;I don’t like church, but I like the donuts,” a three-year-old Morgan announced one Sunday morning years ago, as we made our way to church. Pete and I, though amused with her honesty, were a bit concerned.

http://celestepalermo.blogspot.com/2010/02/challenging-norm.html
Thoughts on life, faith, fun, ministry, mothering, and more. Wednesday, February 3, 2010. 8220;Challenging the Norm”. Counterculture is a word that I’ve been contemplating a lot lately. It’s a term that has many interpretations. When you say “counterculture,” some people conjure up the 60’s, drugs, and hippies. I, on the other hand, think it simply means doing the opposite of what everyone is else doing. Going against the norm. So where is the breakdown? Over the years, we have participated in many diffe...
