I haven’t written in quite a few days. Life has been so busy with work and Adoration and gardening and being a new bride! As all this has been unfolding, my mind has touched many topics. Here’s a brief recap:   1. Why is the media pushing this “global warming” agenda so strongly? What is the strategy behind it?   

2. The embryonic stem cell push is quite strong at the Capitol right now. There are five or six cloning bills in the House and Senate, and they have the big guns lobbyists from the hospitals and universities on their team. These bills are so blatantly deceptive, claiming to ban cloning, which they define as implantation of a cloned embryo into the womb; thus, they advocate for creation of embryos through cloning (which is currently humanly impossible) and then their subsequent destruction through “research.” At times, I catch myself calmly answering questions at the Capitol about embryonic stem cell research, and I want to vomit. Am I seriously discussing “research” upon little human beings? So much of the language in this debate sounds reminiscent of Nazism.   3. I am so excited about our little flower and vegetable gardens. Yesterday, I turned ground for a little herb garden, next the the kitchen door. I going to plant herbs like shallot and fennel, just to feel gourmet. :)   

4. I went on a Regnum Christi silent retreat three weeks ago and had my world deeply rocked. I’m amazed at our Our Lord’s goodness! :)    Have a blessed Laetare Sunday–the vestments are rose, not pink. YKC!   P.S. Here are two pictures of our front yard lavender and daisy plants!
