Our prayers today are with the Barrett Family, who have just lost their 14 year old son Ryan to a drowning accident. (Here is a link to a local story about the accident. Here is another.)
Please keep their family in your prayers as well.
Tonight, our family lit two candles after Mass — one for Ryan and his family, and another for all children and that especially when things are crazy in our household, that we never take for granted what a gift God has given us in our children.
Will offer the rosary for the Barrett's tonight.
