7 Quick Takes Friday

This week: Girl Scouts work to expose their slide to pro-death. People in Texas live their faith. Tim Staples “Jimmy Swaggart made me Catholic.” Father Barron on papal infallibility. A mother learns to forgive her son’s murderer. What rapture? Talking dog.

Some random thoughts or bits of information are worthy of sharing but don’t warrant their own full post. This idea was started by Jennifer Fulwiler at Conversion Diary to address this blogging need. So, some Fridays I too participate when I have accumulated 7 worthy items. Thank you Jen for hosting this project!
