Fiat: Faith In All Things

It's Good Friday 2017! Today we're going to be looking back at this week and see how God has made himself present in our lives. This week on the blog was a full one for us! We usually post new written content on Mondays and Wednesdays and then upload a podcast on Fridays. This week, we decided to offer a post every day in honor of Holy Week. We began lighthearted with date night suggestions and followed with a guest post before moving into weighted topics like the Triduum and Easter renewal.  On a sad note, Rachel is absent from the podcast today because she's out-of-state helping her parents in the aftermath of the loss of her grandmother, June Bug. Please pray for comfort for Rachel and her family as well as for the repose of the soul of Rachel's grandmother.  Kristi recorded this week's podcast on Holy Tuesday (her family's Taco Tuesday) while browning taco meat and running dishes through the dishwasher to reflect on our frenzied pace of life and our commitments (she actually almost missed a quarterly meet

Happy St. Patrick’s day! Today on the podcast, I’m hanging out with Little Miss, my seven year-old daughter, to talk about some of the changes that have gone on in our home since the wedding. Little Miss is super excited to be filling in for Aunt Rachel today. She’s wanted to participate in the podcast since its inception. So, please, ready your “she’s so adorable!” smile, grab a cup of something soothing, and join me and my Little Miss in a conversation about blending…and Blended…among other things. She also does her best impression of our usual podcast openings.
