Dad's Eye View

“Since the Creator of all things has established conjugal society as the beginning and basis of human society and, by His grace, has made it a great mystery in Christ and the Church (cf. Eph. 5:32), the apostolate of married persons and families is of unique importance for the Church and civil society....Christian husbands and wives are cooperators in grace and witnesses of faith for each other, their children, and all others in their household. They are the first to communicate the faith to their children and to educate them by word and example for the Christian and apostolic life.”
–Apostolicam Actuositatem n. 11

	Thoughts on a New Knighthood None of you wants to sit through another classroom lecture. So my comments will be brief. Then we can get to some questions and answers. I’m also going to skip telling you how talented you are. You already know that. You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t.

The fruit from the consecration and impact on my vocation have been deep and profound...
	The Ultimate Productivity Tool Whenever I skip daily prayer, or rush through it because i can’t stop thinking about the mountain of projects awaiting me at work, my most frequent justification is, “i’m too busy.” And so after little or poor time spent with the Lord, i zip to the office, placing a substantial amount of trust in my productivity system and time-management tools to get as much done as possible...
	When Life Gives You Lemons The last six months have been some of the most difficult i’ve ever experienced in my profession. While i’m deeply grateful to have a job, the stress of difficult client projects and longer hours for less money have been trying. My wife and i have also noticed what appears to be an increase in the number of friends and family experiencing deep pruning in their lives, not always as a result of the recession. It seems to be a time of trial for many people.
