Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week’s list is Top Ten Auto-Buy Authors. I don’t really have very many auto-buy authors. I tend to read the back cover so I at least have an idea of what I’m buying. I don’t always like everything an author writes. However, these are some exceptions to that rule. 🙂
Seven Quick Takes is a weekly link-up hosted by This Ain’t The Lyceum.
I have returned from summer camp. I was there for just over six weeks as a counselor. It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun, most of the time. I have a lot of pictures that I would love to share with all of you but I haven’t had a chance to get the editing done yet. That is one of my goals for the coming week.
The camp that I was working at was a Catholic summer camp for my diocese. We started each week of campers out with Mass on Sunday, had Eucharistic Adoration and Mass on Wednesday as well as the opportunity for Reconciliation/Confession, and had a short prayer service before sending them home on Friday.
My favorite weeks of camp were the girl weeks. We had two of them. One with 7th-8th grade girls and one with 5th-6th grade girls. Those were the weeks that I had the most fun and felt like I was impacting the lives of the girls in my small group.
It has been a crazy month and a half! I will share some of my summer camp experience here but most will wait until it’s own post with pictures!
Wow, March is over already. Lent is almost over and it is Holy Week already! Crazy to think how fast everything went this year.
The Joy of the Gospel by Pope Francis Pope Francis apostolic exhortation is a passionate call for every Christian to be constantly ready to bring the love of Jesus to others.
