					<description><![CDATA[For those who haven’t heard the news yet, I’m closing up shop here at Shoved to Them and at Patheos. I have enjoyed my time here as a member of the Patheos team, it is just time for me to take my writing in a new direction. I’d like to take a moment and thank Elizabeth [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When he was just a baby at his Baptism, the priest handed a candle to his father, entrusting his parents and godparents with protecting the Light of Faith for our then tiny son. A few years later, we glowed with pride as he stood in front of a different priest, looked at the Eucharist before him, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ella and Erika met at their little brothers’ preschool playgroup. Ella was a shy 6-year-old in bright colors and glitter, and Erika a friendly 5-year-old who only liked to wear black. One born on the summer solstice and the other the winter solstice, they were instantly two sides of the same coin and immediately inseparable. When Ella developed [&#8230;]]]></description>

Since it’s a children’s book, and I haven’t been a child for a few years, I’m turning my blog over to my  6-year-old son for his opinion on the Pope’s new book: I think this book is really good.

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Ella, I forgot you in the car yesterday. I carried in the groceries, and left you sitting there. When I came back out a few minutes later, you were laughing at me. “Mom, did you forget that I couldn’t walk?” You were teasing, but the truth is that I had. We were talking, and I expected [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This morning at Mass, my four-year-old sat on my lap staring up at the Crucifix. With a small sigh, she asked, “Mommy, why did those bad men make Jesus dead on the cross?” I leaned down and whispered in her tiny ear, “He died on the cross so that we could go to Heaven.” “Where’s [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As I watched the new Catholics enter the Church on Saturday night, I wept during the Baptisms and choked up during the Confirmations. Nothing makes me happier than the sight of so many (64 total at our parish) accepting Jesus Christ and entering into full communion with His Church. As I looked at the standing-room-only crowd [&#8230;]]]></description>

The lines were long with well over 100 people in attendance, and our wait for the Confessional was way beyond an hour and a half. The kids (ages 16, 14, 11, and 8) started off well, but by the end of the first half hour they were [&#8230;]]]></description>
