Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 30, 2010

I work in one of the poorer schools in what could be considered my district. Don’t get me wrong, we have students from very wealthy families here too. However, from a percentage perspective quite a large percentage of our students live in need based homes and attend our school on scholarship, or with the use [...]

Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 29, 2010

Do people think that God is a fool. He is anything but, he is wise beyond our understanding. I believe in a God who offers mercy, and love to anyone. If salvation is complete, total and final, and I believe it is. What is the catch, is there a catch? There are the people who [...]

On my way to work this morning, I was listening to one of my favorite radio stations, and I had to switch stations? Thank goodness I have lots of set stations in the car, so I can change when I want to. So I tend to switch around, when I get bored, don’t really like [...]

Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 27, 2010

I have read a book “Kundalini” by one of the great Yogi’s (Gopi Krishna). This man managed to reach enlightenment and an extension of consciousness, without losing it during intervals when he was pulled down to the things of this world. I am beginning to believe that maintaining this extension of consciousness, is one of [...]

We are all sitting around with full bellies getting ready for bed, and as it happens ABC Family is showing Beauty and the Beast! So we are letting the kids stay up later than normal to watch this wonderful movie. What an awesome movie, but does it really happen? Is the girl ever really able [...]

I am posting early today, so that I can get to my Thanksgiving celebration. Today I am actually posting a poem by an unknown author called, Tweet

Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 24, 2010

So the catholic church (well the current Pope) thinks that letting women preach is the greatest sin that has ever occurred in the church?!?!?!?!?!?!? He says that letting women be priests is, “A crime against the faith”. This statement which was actually made awhile ago devastated me so deeply that, I still can’t find the [...]

My guests have arrived! I haven’t seen them yet, they arrived late last night due to bad weather in Chicago as they were flying through, and when they visit they stay in a hotel to avoid the chaos that is my house. Also given that I now live in a popular travel destination why not [...]

Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 22, 2010

At one point in Saint Augustine’s book “Confessions”, he is having a hard time agreeing with church music, but he is finally able to see how it could bring the soul closer to God. There are songs that make my heart soar. It is as if I wasn’t body bound I could fly right over [...]

Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 21, 2010

My son does not enjoy going to church. The whole drive on Sunday morning consists of, “I don’t want to go to church mommy! I don’t like church daddy!” The minute we get there, he starts in with, “When will church be over? I want to go home? I’m hungry.” Of course, we get the [...]
