Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival

It was a week of strong, loyal, clever, and beautiful women. Judith and Esther, to be specific.  Love for their people and trust in God enable them to save the Jewish people from powerful enemies bent on their destruction. Their stories are quite amazing and inspiring. All this, and cameos from Christopher Guest, Eugene Levy, Cinderella, This is Spinal Tap!, and more...

Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival

Welcome back, friends! Today is a great day in our household, as my older son graduates from high school this day. Much rejoicing. But in my heart I know it also means another milestone closer to the day he spreads his wings and flies. That will be a bittersweet day, as I love him and enjoy his company so much. But this is how life works, and I am very grateful for the beautiful young man he has grown up to be.

Anyway, between preparing for this special day and reading Dan Brown's Inferno, I have been a little light on the posts. But this week was about the Book of Tobit, which, if you haven't read it, I heartily recommend. It is a short, warm and engaging story.

Here are this week's posts:

Blame It On Dante

Tobit 1-3

Jumpin' Jehoshaphat! This week was spent reading through 1 Kings, where we find some of the Old Testament's more memorable characters and stories--including Solomon, Jezebel, Ahab, Elijah, and, yes, Jehoshaphat. We find God everywhere, from the impossibly ornate temple built by Solomon to the whispering wind in Elijah's ear. And a cameo by Michael Corleone (yup, really).

1 Kings 1-5

1 Kings 6-10

1 Kings 11-14

1 Kings 15-19

1 Kings 20-22
