So Glad to Be Here

Hello NCRegister folks!

I am thrilled to see the launch of the new NCRegister site and honored to be a member of the blogging team here. As the only female among the bloggers, I must admit to feeling a bit of pressure to cover all things girl.

I have no such worries in my other jobs. As a wife and mom of eight kids and editorial director of the Register’s sister publication Faith & Family, I’ve got the estrogen thing pretty well covered.

I am happy to have this outlet to talk about things that might not have anything to do with missing toddler shoes, piles of laundry, and better biscuit recipes, but I can’t promise some part of those things won’t find their way into what I do here. My life has a way of overlapping like that.

Feel free to let me know what kinds of blogging you’d like to see in this spot, and I will do my best to accommodate you. I will generally be posting on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

While you’re here, be sure to browse through the rest of the new NCRegister site. Congratulations to the NCRegister team on a job well done!

People Explain ‘Why I Go to Mass’

‘Why go to Mass on Sundays? It is not enough to answer that it is a precept of the Church. … We Christians need to participate in Sunday Mass because only with the grace of Jesus, with his living presence in us and among us, can we put into practice his commandment, and thus be his credible witnesses.’ —Pope Francis
