Tomorrow is the big day. Before you walk into that voting booth, take a few minutes to watch this powerful video from catholicvote.com. Thanks to my friend Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda for the heads up on this one.

About this blog
So what have you gotten yourself into with a visit to this blog? Well, it is dedicated not to one focused theme or category but instead to anything and everything that sparks a conversation, even if only inside my own head -- my kids, my work, my Church, my garden, my latest travels. You name it, and I'll write about it. It will often be about spiritual things, but not always. Hence, the name.
About me
I am a mother, a wife, a chronicler of life, and a believer who understands that this journey leads us ever closer to God, even when I feel as though I'm standing still. Although I often don't understand the plan, I get that there is one and I'm part of it.

Very powerful.
Amazing. Pray. Pray. Pray.
Powerful, indeed. And an important message.
I don't know what this means, but at 7:30 this election morning I never saw my polling place more crowded. I always vote at the same time and it usually takes me all of five minutes -- tops. Today it took me 20 minutes. Most of the poeple voting seemed younger than me (I'm 54) and I'm from a very blue state, so make of that what you will.
