Just another week at college

Published Wednesday, April 16, 2008 in

Last night I finally spoke to my college freshman on the phone. Ever since she returned to school after spring break, it's been nearly impossible to reach her, what with the busy ultimate frisbee season in full gear. She filled me on on her agenda for the week ahead -- Sunday she'll attend Mass at Yankee Stadium with Pope Benedict XVI, and on Tuesday when she's done with class, she'll head over to the college pub where she's one of 75 invited students to participate in a conversation with the Dalai Lama. Just another week at college... nothing like a little inspiration to finish up the school year.

Molly...Love the new layout. As the sales lady in the dress shop would say, "It is so you!" Congratulations.

I listen to you on Relevant Radio and look forward to your new book. I have a large family with lots of grandchildren and keep encouraging them to listen. I forward your articles. Thank you for a great job.

Hi Marybeth,
I ran into your brother Tom and he told me about your website. This is my first time here. It is sooooo cool what you are doing. I needed this when my boy's were younger. Maybe for the future grand kids!!! Congrats!
