The election cycle has once again made "pro-life" a bad word...except by both main candidates.
No matter how you feel about voting 3rd party, I am glad there are some 3rd party candidates brave enough to run from platforms of respect for WHOLE life...not just anti-abortion. Evan McMullin (https://www.evanmcmullin.com/) and Mike Maturen (http://www.solidarity-party.org/...sadly his write-in status in Missouri fell through, but still eligible for write-in in Kansas) are two such candidates. Again, even if you can't bring yourself to vote 3rd party, they are some gentlemen that we can all get behind. And if the national elections are making you feel bummed, remember to do your research on local elections :-). That's where it all starts!

LIttle bitty life snippets
Out my window: Sun shine-y and a clean porch...finally :-)
Clothing myself in: I haven't felt super today, it's my day off, and I'm cleaning, so PJs...
Around the apartment: Cleaning, y'all
The hubby: not much new. Life, work.
In the kitchen: eh, rather uninspired. Man. I'm boring today.
Crafting: For the 2nd grade sacrament prep at work we use a take home scrapbook that the families go through together. Kids haven been typically just filling in a few words. To try to change those habits with the families, I've been filling out the scrapbooks with examples of how the families could fill in the books with drawings, stickers, clip-art, etc., so I've been getting crafty with that.
Learning: making calls to registered parishioners to remind about upcoming events works..and either results in people hanging up on you or getting into deep conversations about their desire to return to the church and get more involved. I prefer the latter.
Reading: Making more headway in "I Will Give Them a New Heart," I really do love it...up to young Fantine in Les Miz
Watching: Eh, not really too much this week, have been too tired in the evenings and haven't felt the desire to watch anything on my days off
Bringing me joy: extended deadlines, good news in health, supportive friends
Thinking about: next steps after the good health news, all the smart, compassionate people who write and post things about the political situation and their wonderful examples
Pictures to share: I joined Instagram. For real. Mostly to get used to it before I create an account for youth group purposes. I just have more teens and parents on Instagram than Facebook these days, so if I'm going to reach the kids on social media, I'm going to have to be creative and venture into new territory.
