December 14th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Mary and Martha Moments

Food is pretty important at holiday times. Food binds us together as families when we figure out who is bringing what to the potluck, it creates lasting memories, and it allows us to have something to do when we all get together.  I’m willing to bet that more traditions are based around food than any [...]

January 7th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Mary and Martha Moments

Humility is fast becoming a lost virtue in our society.

Mary and Martha Moment: How do You Receive the Eucharist?
