Be Revolutionary

“Today it is not enough for men and women to be good. Moreover, whoever is content to be nearly good, is not good enough! It is necessary to be revolutionary. Faced with hedonism, faced by the pagan and materialistic wares that we are being offered, Christ wants objectors — rebels of love!”
— St. Josémaria Escriva

This is what captured my attention about Christianity as it's lived by the Saints, Mother Teresa, JPII, etc.... it's more than just following the rules. It's an intense love for Christ... a deep knowing of who Christ was and is and remains.

I want to be this.

Idea to keep on top of kids clothes

Get 3 pairs of jeans for each child. 2 pairs of soft pants. 2 dress up outfits. 8 socks. Undies 10/12

The day after Halloween

Had friends here today. We talked very quickly. It was not nearly satisfying enough. Must do it again, soon. Note to self: Always have a lunch to offer. You felt very badly when you could only offer sad snacks.

Notes to self re: Halloween:
Next year, do just trick or treating. It is PLENTY! This year we did too much. The All Saints Party was a good inspiration for lovely costumes, but I feel that Halloween is best spent near home in one's own neighborhood. I do not think Halloween a bad thing to be avoided. I think it can be a wonderful opportunity to grow closer to those in the neighborhood and keep Halloween special and safe and happy. :)
