A Bitter Pill

The PNFPN is up to good things again, with a conference on May 1. Learn the truth about hormonal contraception with Brian Gail, Author of Fatherless and Angela Lanfranchi, M.D., Director of Breast Cancer Prevention Institute.

Once you have learned all about the damage of artificial steroids and their interference with healthy fertility, join us for our next class of NFP instruction on May 28 at Mother of Divine Providence in King of Prussia.

Look at that Dashing Family

I know it sometimes feels like we are the only family in the Archdiocese who practices NFP. Now we have proof! Confirmed by the Family Life Office.

Back from the Dead

So here is the requisite, "I'm not dead yet" post. I would like to keep blogging, but things have been crazy. Politics has obviously been mucking with my head. However, other surprises have also come to pass: a Pre-Cana NFP struggle, success in my home-based business, job uncertainty, more attention to real estate investing, an interesting little work project of my own initiative. My sitemeter reports a group of dedicated followers, and I graciously thank you for checking in.

Pax et bonum.

Relevant and Fun

I love this videos on "over-population."

A Gripping Story to Follow

The guys at CMR are surprisingly serious this week as they chronicle the journey of a mother and her unborn child.

Christians are always underdogs

But the guys at CMR are celebrating after this week's victory. I just pray that Scott Brown doesn't run for President.

Hey, I know her!

Looks like a former PNFPNer is up to good things in women's health!

How to be a Man

Because all men should know how to wear a hat.

Happy New Year

So, here I am, posting again. I know I wasn't the most regular writer last year. As far as I can tell, I will be posting even less regularly in the upcoming year. I'm having a lot of activity in my Reliv business. I've got a support group set up for REI where I am the only one who hasn't bought a house. We are finally ready to post our next class for CCL on the new on-line registration. Knights is booming with volunteer opportunities and so far I have avoided the hideous Chinese finger trap that is Farmville.

But if the rest of the year goes as well as today, its gonna be a great 2010 for me.

I pray that it is great for you as well, dear reader.

May Saint Joseph, patron of Fathers and workers, intercede on your behalf to multiply the work of your hands.

Sabbatical

Though I am currently not prepared to take a sabbatical from the job, I am prepared to take a hiatus from blogging. Things are crazy here at Albatross Manor. We are undergoing renovation. I am getting closer to doing some REI. I am trying to get back to my business. And we desperately need to teach some NFP to this starved area!

I really never hoped it would come to this, but it is time for a break. I will be back and re-charged soon.

Pro-Mom

Because pro-lifers in the Philly area are too awesome for words.

How to protect yourself from the Flu

...without getting stuck in the arm. Sardonic Catholic Dad has some great advice on avoiding the flu through homeopathy and nutrition.

Way to go, Camden Diocese, even if you are in NJ.

Regulations hurt the little man

So, I finally set aside time and remembered to go to Prosper.com to set myself up as a micro-lender. I was hoping to make a better rate than my savings account and help some troubled people get out of dire straits. Instead, I find out that Prosper is not licensed in my state. I hope this situation is remedied soon.

Why forced vaccination is evil

I've pretty much stayed out of the Gardasil debate, since it falls in my general bin of, "I'm not going to inject my children with infectious agents unless I am totally convinced of the benefits." I'm certainly not going to do it because some doctors' group, that probably gets kickbacks from the manufacturer, recommends it.

Now, I know that Merck is on my side in pointing out that the vaccine is almost useless. I wish they would talk to their marketing department.

Local TOTB

Mother of Divine Providence Parish in King of Prussia will have speakers from the Theology of the Body Institute at 8pm on Wednesday. Although I have heard Christopher West speak, I'm thrilled to see what type of students come out of this Institute. I'm always looking to improve my marriage. Speaking of which, I better go help with the little one.

Proof is in the Powder

I'm thankful that my company cares enough to invest in studies to show the success of our products. I'm hoping this will break the unfair stereotype that nutrition companies are bamboozlers who are out to scam people in an unregulated industry. Our company cares enough to run the Kalogris Foundation; we are not in it for a scam. If I scam you, take your money elsewhere!

Long have I waited

I have been hoping to own the musical work of Nick Alexander for over a year now, patiently awaiting a brave soul to order them for me. My wife obliged for my most recent birthday and I have been basking in the Catholic "Weird Al" glow ever since. Since I received his entire discography, it is hard to pick a favorite but, "Nahum, Zephaniah, Malachi" (parody of 867-5309) is far and away my most listened to. As "Weird Al" includes a token polka, Nick includes a praise song. It is an awesome way to close an awesome album.

Respect Life Month

And what a great way to start Respect Life Month, A Baby's Breath held Johnny's Run today with an excellent turnout. Congratulations to all those who finished!

Also in Pro-Life news, 40 Days for Life is going strong, helping women save their babies' lives.
