“Sacrifice much. Choose God’s will. Love profusely. Be bighearted. And then see how Almighty God, who is the same now and always, blesses you again and again.” -from Big Hearted,

My sweet, (now-five-weeks-old!) Gianna and I spending some quiet time together  the day after she was born
I had the pleasure of interviewing Patti Maguire Armstrong and Theresa Thomas today on my radio show, “Faith and Good Counsel.” I wish both of these wonderful ladies lived next door to me. They are so kind, and wise, and encouraging–and they have a special heart for encouraging young families. 🙂
Ah…and I could use some encouragement. Going from two-to-three has been much harder for me than going from one-to-two, despite what everyone says to the contrary. 🙂
Anyway, today they talked today about their new book, Big Hearted, a collection of stories from ordinary Catholic families living out their faith in everyday ways. I can’t wait to read the copy of the book they sent us–I promise a book review as soon as I am able to finish it. Since today was a pre-record day, I will try to post a link to the show as soon as it’s available online.

I've been chronicling things here as I've been learning to love and suffer and laugh and trust in the goodness of God in the ordinary and the extraordinary--with a little espresso and a lot of Divine Mercy.
