Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival

I am joining a weekly Catholic Carnival over at This and That, where bloggers highlight their faith-based posts for the week.

This week I mainly talked about A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, in which a young Catholic girl describes the challenges of growing up in poverty. Although she questions her faith at times, she says she will always believe in Jesus.

On Wednesday, I talked about teaching opportunities we parents can take advantage of when bad sportsmanship is displayed at sporting events, and quoted Sirach’s advice on child-rearing.

And on Thursday, I joined the Faith and Family Live’s Small Successes Forum in sharing the most recent developmental successes of my toddler.
