Standing up for family
‘Minivan mom’ finds humor in everyday life
Sally Edwards bounces on the balls of her feet in a darkened corridor outside a parish hall at St. Joseph Church in Libertyville.

Cardinal George
Was the Word made words or

"There is the old story about people who would prefer to watch an eclipse of the moon on television rather than step outside the house and see what the eclipse really looks like. Pictures and theories about reality are more acceptable than reality itself, because pictures and theories are our creation and reality is God’s. It’s no wonder, then, that religions we make up are more comfortable for us than what God has revealed to us about himself." -The Cardinal's Column >
