I now interrupt this NFP blog to report in local news:
I found a great motivational poster today (h/t to Mark Shea):

In an unrelated story, there’s a group of people in Madison headed to California, but found on flight to Rome.

UPDATE: In a related unrelated story, support Bishop Morlino.

A couple notes for commentors on this blog, particularly for those on the “Childfree: Selfishness Incarnate, etc.” entry below:

 1) Dialogue guidelines. Here I’ll quote from  one of my favorite bloggers: A Note to Visitors:
“Please share your comments! Note, however, that civility is considered a higher good than First Amendment rights here. Incivility will be uncivilly suppressed. Welcome to Our Kingdom! Enjoy your stay. ”

Therefore any direct attacks on any one person, usage of f**k or similar words (or their thinly veiled abbreviations) will be deleted. I like and use profanity privately on certain occasions, but not in a civil discussion. If that’s a problem for you or you think it’s prudish or whatever, don’t comment here.

 2) I value your comments. Seriously, and not for any reverse psychology-I-love-you-because-I-hate-you-reasons. I spend my time around a lot of people who agree with me, so how does that stretch me? Hardly at all, which is why I like a place where I can agree to disagree and converse with people.

3) I’ve had a seriously crazy week, so I’ve not gotten a chance to comment and respond to some of the more  pointed questions, comments and rational responses. I really particularly want to comment on breast cancer, Natural Family Planning as being backwards, some of the intolerance and attacks on my God and my Church, and some people who shared some beautiful and very personal stuff, which I totally appreciate. And I will do this.
