Here and There and On the Go

I know I've had too many unaccounted-for absences here as of late... truth is, this summer is flying by even quicker than I anticipated. We were at Ave Cor Mariae Camp from June 30-July 7, then came home to our 4-H County Fair this past weekend (my last! I'm a graduating member this year), and now are preparing to leave in the morning for Wisconsin to be with Grandpa and Grandma till this weekend. Never a dull moment, to be sure!

I realize that I've rather neglected my blog the last few months, and do hope to "revive" things here after this. In my continual striving for balance in my daily life (ho -- there's a topic I could write pages about!) it seems the blog had to (unintentionally) be placed in the background for a while. It was probably good for me... it's far too easy to let these things take too much precedence, you know? The activities of the next two months are extensive, but I'll do my best to bring some more life here.

In the meantime, here's a beautiful quote from John Paul the Great for you to meditate on:

"Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought."

(Pope John Paul II)

Till next week... Pax Christi!
