Wounds of War, and the Power of Forgiveness and Faith – A Movie Review of Unbroken: Path to Redemption

"That, dear reader, is the true power and testimony of Unbroken: Path to Redemption. The process of healing will take time, but it is not impossible." If you need a movie to watch this month, may I highly recommend this movie - which addresses many issues near and dear to my heart. Read further for a more in-depth analysis of this particular movie!

A Beautiful Camouflage Update & Contest Opportunity!

While sitting in the military temporary lodging facility, I was contacted with information regarding a contest. Click to read further - both an update about my blog, and information regarding this pretty cool contest! (This is not a sponsored ad in any sense of the word. Just a cool contest!)

#WorthRevisit: The Military Way of the Cross (The Gratitude Project: Week 34)

"If you have followed my blog any length of time, you'll know I am a proud Army wife, and a proud Catholic Christian... The project I undertook, to have it released for this Lent, was not undertaken without some sacrifice on my part." Today's #WorthRevisit is a look back at The Military Way of the Cross, and how that project was one that, although challenging, makes me a more grateful blogger.

The Gratitude Project: Week 34

"Perhaps that can be my focus during Lent 2018 - how much I act like Jonah, and resist His gentle, and sometimes not-so-gentle, whispers and nudges on my heart. Perhaps focusing on my tendency to resist His whispers and nudges are paving my own, personal Way of the Cross. Perhaps opening my arms, and giving my "yes" to Him with less argument, will allow me to learn better from those saints who still followed His call in their lives." This week's special Gratitude Project addresses how a Lenten project for the Military Council of Catholic Women opened my eyes to my own spiritual battle. Includes links to the FREE download of "The Military Way of the Cross."

An Open Post to American Society

"I need to get something off my chest. This past week, I have been grieving for families I have never met." Please take a moment out of your day to read this military spouse's view of what is happening in this country this week, and please spread the word - it's a message I strongly feel needs to be shared.
