I loved Sister Mary Cooks talk from April 2011 Remember This: Kindness Begins With Me I thought it would go perfect when talking about service. I made these little Kindness (service) cards to give to each of my girls. I gave each girl a sheet of 9. I told them to to do 4 acts of service in the next couple weeks. Each time they did a service I told them to fill out this little card to give to the person, and then also to give the person a blank card That they could fill out to give to someone after they do some service. Kind of like a service chain letter (:

"Did we just get homework on the first day?"

Yes MTV, source of much that is wrong with our culture, has made a decent video about a postulant with the Sisters of Life in New York. I say the video is decent because, it isn't overtly negative or critical, but seems clearly edited to avoid having anything overtly spiritual (I don't think I heard the name Jesus Christ once in the video). But like I said it's not bad, and if it reaches young women in this country who are lost in the culture of death - who knows? Almighty God can indeed bring good from bad. This link will take you to MTV's site, so be warned - I can't control the content. Actually I thought the Verizon commercial just before the video was a wonderful juxtaposition. Watch the video HERE.
