Hear Me Roar!: Today is my birthday! What a week I share with two holy powerhouses: St. Patrick and St. Joseph. These men are remembered for so much more than a shamrock shake and carpentry, and I am honored to remember them during my birth week.
My article for CatholicMom this month is called Seeds of Doubt, and really shakes things up. Admit it, we all fall into the trap of manipulating others by using the big "IF."

I continued to glance in my side view mirror, paranoid that a police officer would stop to check on me. Finally, I let it go and stopped paying attention. No sooner than I had stopped paying attention, an officer stood at my window scaring the stuffing out of me. He began in monotone, "Can I help you..." And then realizing the baby in my lap wedged behind the steering wheel, he stopped. His eyes got huge and he put his hands together in a prayer motion. With a bit of a bow he exclaimed, "Wow!" (I was covered mind you.) It seems that this was a first for him and perhaps a shocking relief of comedy. He was very gracious as he made sure I got baby safely back in the car, but I can only imagine him calling that one in!
