It is believed by many Catholics that christening their babies would better protect their children spiritually as they grow up. Hence, for this reason, christening an infant is considered as a major occasion. Friends of the parents are invited to join in the celebration; relatives are even at times required to part take in the occasion.If you are one of the invited ones to enjoy the said joyous occasion, what should you do?

A recent study showed that more than 75 percent of respondents will break their New Year's resolutions within 3 months and almost one-third will break them by the end of January. Apparently we all have good intentions, but generally poor follow through. Why? Forty-three percent say they are not committed to the New Year's resolutions they set and 25 percent say they have too many other things to do, which is really just another way of saying they are not committed to their resolutions. With years and years of abandoned lists to learn from, it's time to come up with a new strategy. Let's make 2010 the year of the baby step - and beat those dismal New Year's Resolution odds.Sarah on "The Power of Baby Steps" "In mid-November, I handed in a book manuscript to our publisher that was 70,000 words long, or about 250 pages of copy. Obviously, you can't just sit down and crank something like that out in a day or two. Reaching such a big goal, or really any goal for that matter, is only possible by putting one foot in front of the other and taking one step at a time, until you reach the finish line. It is only marginally helpful to have the 'big' goal in mind as you do the hard work of...more

Old-fashioned manners have never gone out of style, so why don't kids practice consideration for others? I witnessed a prime example of inconsiderate behavior by a 15-year-old in whose home I was visiting. The mother was recuperating from major back surgery and the child seemed to have no sympathy or understanding for the lack of mobility her single parent was experiencing. Oblivious to her mother's situation, the child went about her normal activities of . . . 1. Leaving things lying around for mom to pick up 2. Playing loud games while mom was trying to rest 3. Asking if a friend could stay overnight 4. Asking mom to drive them to the movies and the mall. I silently watched (as it was none of my business), but I couldn't help realizing kids today are 1. Spoiled 2. Thoughtless 3. Unsympathetic 4. Unappreciative Now, I realize not ALL kids are this way. If you have a child who fits the above description, however, I know you can relate to it. Here is a simple answer to inconsideration from a child, and it's not from peers or society - it's due to lack of proper training! Keep in mind, however, that with a 15-year-old, the training may be a little late in coming. The parent took...more
