But It’s Still Christmas…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… I used to think the saddest sight was a discarded Christmas tree on the curb the day after Christmas. Nope. I was wrong. The saddest thing ever was watching my neighbor remove his exterior lights at 3pm on Christmas Day. Read more

Alice Cooper, the dedicated follower of Christ…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… When I hear the name ‘Alice Cooper’ I associate it with all those awkward, angst ridden teenage years I made my poor mom endure. Now when I hear the name ‘Alice Cooper’ I think dedicated follower of Christ. Wait, what? Alice Cooper says he loves God but doesn’t want to become a ‘celebrity’ believer. The father of shock rock whose music and stage antics have outraged parents for more than 30 years told how the fear of hell turned... Read more

Midnight Mass. NO!

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… I am just gonna go ahead and say this, but I was actually kind of glad my son was getting over the flu and still feeling too icky to go to midnight mass this Christmas. I got to bed last night at a respectable 11:45 pm on Christmas Eve for the first time in a decade. Typically I don’t make it to bed before 3:00 am. I know midnight mass is a long standing and lovely tradition of the... Read more

The Stages of A Praying Single Person…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

… Single people are bombarded with advice on how to fix their situation constantly. This advice is always given in stages. When one fails we’re encouraged to move on to the next. Below are the stages of prayer advice, in order, that we most often hear. 1) Novenas. Someone always has a story to tell you about the time they prayed this novena or that and implored the intercession of a saint and then BAM, they meet their future spouse... Read more

When prayer seems pointless…

Last updated on: January 10, 2015 at 9:37 pm By Katrina Fernandez

The most frustrating thing I find about praying is it’s lack of immediate results. Or rather, what I perceive as a lack of results. I’ve gotten so accustomed to instantaneous feedback that when I don’t see the fruits of prayer right away I become frustrated. Then there is praying for your enemies. In most cases “enemies” are just your typical run of the mill jerk faces one encounters on any given day. They are the difficult people we are forced... Read more
