Summer is upon us. I find that if my kids have a total break for too long everyone is at loose ends. We don’t technically school “year round,” but I definitely try to plan learning activities during those hot summer months. It’s important, also, to remember to plan FUN ACTIVITIES for your kids. I’d likeContinue Reading
Standing at the finish line is a glorious place to be. In this race, my competitors are none other than ignorance and time. Nearly forty years ago, I attended a Catholic parochial school that served as a testing ground for a now-very well known phonics program. I was schooled in that phonics program from kindergartenContinue Reading
My latest child is to be born today or tomorrow or the next day or the day after that or next week or two weeks from now. The proper time for this is not rooted–yet only appearing so after the fact–in some watchmaker’s chronology. To each individual, even those who have not been born, thereContinue Reading
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to interview Rob and Julie Collorafi about their new and emerging Latin program Little Latin Readers . I was especially excited for our conversation since I use their books in educating my own children, and since–beginning in the fall of 2019–we are bringing Little Latin Readers to our Kolbe families.Continue Reading
The years went by faster and faster. Old people report that time speeds up, and my guess is that we stop a lot and think about things, and then wonder where the time went. Anyway, I was 71 when I was recruited to teach an online theology course and I am 77 now, ready to retire. This yearContinue Reading

It’s a blessing to have a large family, to have memories of the older children rekindled when the younger ones pass through the same life transitions. I was reminded tonight of just how traumatic losing a tooth can be. Have you ever thought about that? I mean, REALLY thought about it? You are starting toContinue Reading
Behold the world’s man. He is pallid and sullen. Like some stepson told to zip his coat, an action is required of him. Emperor Claudius mandating a politician’s decision to quell a disturbance in a minority quarter of the city. The established marginals have insured that they have no king but Caesar. A faction ofContinue Reading
In Part I of this post, the Very Reverend Lejeune clearly laid out the reason for failure to make progress in sanctity. He encourages us to fortify our wills by making clear resolutions and not simply harboring mere desires. But just how do we do that? He offers us a roadmap. First, “a resolution shouldContinue Reading
I love Lent. The way I look at it, in His great wisdom, God gave Lent to us at the time of year when most of our fresh New Year’s Resolutions have lost their oomph: we have started to settle into a dull, daily routine, going through the motions but not really progressing in muchContinue Reading
