Lily Maiden: April 2011
http://lily-maiden.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
8220;Like a lily among thorns, so is my darling among the maidens.” (Song of Songs 2:2). Tuesday, April 12, 2011. We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? That is why Lent is about death. We have to DIE to our old selves, DIE to sin so that Christ can make us a new creation. Death is always painful. But resurrection is beyond the best we can imagine!

8220;Like a lily among thorns, so is my darling among the maidens.” (Song of Songs 2:2). Friday, August 27, 2010. Love Is Not Tolerance". What does it really mean to love authentically? How do we walk the fine line between tender and tough love? The great speaker and TV evangelist Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen offers timeless guidance in this poem. Love is Not Tolerance. Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it. It does penance for the sins of others, but it is not broadminded about sin. I hav...

The Katie and Katie Blog!: Interview with Nicki
http://katiextwo.blogspot.com/2008/11/interview-with-nicki.html
Thursday, November 13, 2008. Katie's questions are in red and Nicki's answers are in blue. If a Broadway show was being made about your life, who would you want to star as you and why? If only Kristin Chenoweth was younger! Le sigh- I love her. With the people who could still play teenagers, though. I'd have to go with Lauren Zakrin, the current Elle Woods understudy on the Legally Blonde tour. Not only does she have a powerful voice, but the girl has some spunk! I admit it, I'm an iPod addict. I'm u...
