Catholic Carnival 177: Wheel of Time
Every year, I expect June to be slow and easy. I plan, in my head, a month of long and lazy afternoons of sipping lemonade and enjoy the quiet rustle of my laundry on the line.
Then reality hits, and I end up just wishing June would end, feeling like it has been nothing more than the hangover of May madness.
This year finds me at an odd place. I am carting around a baby, savoring new smiles and ignoring weed towers in the flowerbeds, and I'm going through photos from three years ago. Was it only three years ago that my oldest was on my hip? And somehow, as the passage of time sinks in, I think of my parents, and of their parents before them.
It's inevitable. Time moves on.
So what does this have to do with the Catholic Carnival, Sarah? I'm short on time, see, and you're getting the hosting job you've come to expect from me - slapdashed together.
Before we dig into the good stuff, here's the business end...
- Jay's 411 on all things Catholic Carnival is here
- Hosting is all it's cracked up to be. Why not take a shot?

This just in...The Catholic Freedom Paradox looks at time and complication and the Catechism.

Go on over and welcome Dave to the Carnival, as I believe this is one of his first times participating.
Thanks, y'all, for participating. And for those of you who just dropped in for a bit...why not participate next week? Or try hosting? :)
