A Temple of the Holy Spirit

Daniel & Catherine ready for Confirmation I had the privilege of witnessing my son and daughter receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this past Tuesday at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Lancaster, OH. It was a wonderful Mass with a full choir, trumpets, and all the rest. During his remarks, Bishop Earl K. Fernandes mentioned that we too, like the Basilica, are temples of the Lord. It caused me to reflect on this idea. Although I've mostly seen only pictures of the great cathedrals and basilicas in the world, I have seen some amazing churches even in our own diocese. These structures are a testament to the Church's love for God (read the entire Church - Militant, Suffering, Triumphant). They represent great skill, sacrifice, and passion for Our Lord and often times His Mother.  Yet the words of Christ always echo in my mind when contemplating the beauty that surrounds me in those places; “ Do you see these great buildings? There will not be one stone left u

Picture Time

Here are some pictures we have taken over the past few weeks. My witty comments are found underneath the pictures.....or perhaps not so witty....

The Jim Tressel homeschool club at the Hahn house.


Saint Anthony of Padua


Saint Christopher


Saint William of Norwich


Saint Alive!


And now for something completely different....Behold the eggs in the bowl. Both come from brown-shelled eggs of the same size and similar shape. Both come from chickens. The one on the right, a store bought pale, shell of an egg (yuck). The one on the left, homegrown goodness pulled from the nest while still warm. SET THE CHICKENS FREE!!!!!!!

Love the Tressel look! My husband has now adopted the sweater vest as well, though he goes with gray. I think only little ones and the Senator can get away with red.
