His favorite RomCom is “Notting Hill.” It’s His favorite RomCom is “Notting Hill.” It’s actually in his top three movies ever. He’s a dreamer. So I organized movie night as a nostalgic treat. Then he asked me what my teenage defining RomCom was. I’m not a RomCom/Romance gal. Never had interest in any of those “The Notebook” or whatever movies. but I did come up with a defining movie that I watched and that I consider a RomCom: “Grosse Point Blank.” I watched that over and over.

Parenting sucks! Okay, slightly exaggerating here, Parenting sucks! Okay, slightly exaggerating here, but not by much. Not today. When it’s time to correct disrespectful behavior, or dole out consequences, or take that anger. It freakin’ sucks. It’s turbulent, and unpleasant, and you have to suck up your own hurt feelings.

“No one in the world can change Truth. What we c “No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hecatombs [e.g. the sacrifice of many victims] of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves? “ – Maximillian Kolbe
