If you hate the hymn, Gather Us In, as much as I do, then you will enjoy this article immensely!
Tis the season for us to change mass parts at church again (The Gloria, Alleluia, Lamb of God, etc.) We are learning this Mass of St. Frances Cabrini. So far, I don’t hate it. Which is a good sign. In fact I think parts of it are very pretty, so hopefully, it will grow on me.
The Truth about Hillary that the Media Won’t Tell You.
An Excerpt:
Hillary’s whole life has been dedicated to socialist/communist ends. The fact that the arguments and the anger fomented by Alinsky in the 40s, 50s and 60s are the same arguments and anger of today’s Obama/Clinton model is telling. For 75 years, inner city blacks have been poor, labor unions have worked to put their members out of a job, and everyday there is some new group claiming it doesn’t have equality. All of these groups have been targeted by these so-called organizational geniuses. No matter what happens, either by the power/conflict ideals of Alinsky and Obama or by power grabs/money laundering of the Clintons, the lives of the people get worse. It is not whether Saul or Hillary are right about how to “achieve democratic equality,” or whose tactics are more effective, but of the failure of the philosophy behind it. – See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/08/alinskys-daughter-here-is-the-truth-about-hillary-the-media-will-not-tell-you#sthash.rZRX1R8g.dpuf
Fascinating research on gender identity in children.
Some of the most widely held views about sexual orientation, such as the “born that way” hypothesis, simply are not supported by science. The literature in this area does describe a small ensemble of biological differences between non-heterosexuals and heterosexuals, but those biological differences are not sufficient to predict sexual orientation, the ultimate test of any scientific finding. The strongest statement that science offers to explain sexual orientation is that some biological factors appear, to an unknown extent, to predispose some individuals to a non-heterosexual orientation.
Michael Phelps Mom on raising ADHD kids.
I found myself nodding my head quite a bit while reading this article. I learned early on that if I wanted to get control of my very spirited little boys, I had to get them into the swimming pool. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, nothing works better than letting those little bodies fight against the water for an hour or so. They come out more compliant and tired!
Dear Mothers, We’re Not Meant to Bounce Back.
I cried a little bit reading this article.
We’re not meant to “bounce back” after babies. Not physically, not emotionally, and definitely not spiritually. We’re meant to step forward into more awakened, more attuned, and more powerful versions of ourselves. Motherhood is a sacred, beautiful, honorable evolution, not the shameful shift into a lesser-than state of being that our society makes it seem.
Something for the pro-all-vaccine-all-the-time-no-matter-what crowd.
The Wiley Pertussis Microbe outsmarts the vaccine!
When there are a lot of people with silent asymptomatic pertussis infections, it is impossible to know who is a carrier and who is not, which means that reported cases of pertussis are just the tip of a very big iceberg. It also means that articles blaming whooping cough cases on unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children are nothing more than wishful thinking and scapegoating. 46
Bottom Line: Both natural and vaccine acquired immunity is temporary 47and while vaccination may prevent clinical symptoms, it does not block infection, carriage or transmission. If vaccinated people can get silently infected and transmit infection without showing any symptoms – even after getting four to six pertussis shots – then pertussis vaccine acquired “herd immunity” is an illusion and always has been.
So the big question is: Why has more than a half-century of pertussis vaccination failed to produce true herd immunity like public health officials insist it theoretically can if only more and more pertussis shots are given to more people more of the time? 48 49
Lastly, a very helpful and concise examination of conscience from the National Catholic Register!
