Hello, and welcome to Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. We are a group of Catholic bloggers who gather weekly to share our best posts with each other. To participate, go to your blog and create a post titled Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. In it, discuss and link to your posts for the week--whether they deal with theology, Catholic living or cute Catholic kids. I'm mostly a book blogger so my posts are generally book reviews, some Catholic, some not. Make sure that post links back here. Once you publish it, come back here and leave a link below.
We also have a yahoogroup; signing up for it will get you one weekly reminder to post. Click here to sign up.
I'd like to ask for prayers for Kathy and her family. I "met" Kathy over ten years ago on an AOL message board for Catholic moms. At the time those of us who were regulars on that board were pretty much thirty-something moms of young kids. Quite of few of us have stuck together through the years and now are part of a facebook group. I've met a few "in real life" but most are "just" cyber friends. Kathy and I used to IM late at night about our special needs kids, among other things. She was on of the most compassionate yet sensible people I knew. Unfortunately this week she lost her battle with lung cancer. She leaves behind a married daughter who is expecting her first baby in a couple of months, a special needs high school junior and a disabled husband.
Oh, and let me add a proud mama brag: My older daughter just received a scholarship offer from her college of choice, Northwestern State University of Louisiana. It will cost us less than $4,000 next year for tuition, room, board, and books!
My only post this week was a review of Catholics Come Home. However, since it is Lent I'd like to call a couple of old posts to your attention:
Review of Sunday Snippets regular Kathleen Basi's book Bringing Lent to Life
Interview with Kathleen regarding Bringing Lent to Life
Lenten Activities for Children

a highly recommended Anne of Green Gables fic from another writer, which I reviewed on ff.net, a re-posting of My First Ash Wednesday, and, of course, my weekly book list.
Scholarships- a parent's consolation.

Two posts this week, my weekly goals and 7 Lenten resources for Homeschoolers.
Echoing the other posters...keeping your friend, you, and her family in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteMy post this week is a simple crown of thorns bread, whereby the thorns are removed each time a sacrifice is made and the thorn is replaced by a flower. Come Easter Sunday, the crown is full of purple flowers.
