we are waiting on the snow. There is a lot of excitement here. There is also more time to watch TV and stuff on the phone. On the one hand, I saw a beautiful mass for life on EWTN. On the other hand, I saw an absolutely heartbreaking video about Alex Pretti, and I honestly can’t talk about it now. My heart is so heavy.

We believe in the sanctity of life from conception to death, and I feel like what I can do is be kind to my kids. I am probably going to be here surrounded by snow and I just want to share God’s love with these little rascals (the apple does not fall far from the tree). Seriously though, they are children of God, and I beg God for the strength to love them well.

God, please help me be patient. May I take the time to rest so that I can stay patient and kind.
