Grace Before Meals: Interview with Fr. Leo Patalinghug
According to its website, Grace Before Meals is centered on one fundamental concept: the simple act of creating and sharing a meal can strengthen all kinds of relationships. Founded by Fr. Leo Patalinghug in 2003, Grace Before Meals has grown from a simple idea to a worldwide movement, producing a book, blog and even a pilot for a TV show endorsed by PBS. Research shows that having frequent family dinners can reduce the susceptibility of teens to risks like teen pregnancy, smoking, drug use and depression. And these benefits don’t just apply to traditional families or people with kids. …

The Importance of Family Dinner
In the the last hundred years or so, we’ve seen technology bring about more advancements than the rest of human history combined. We’ve come a long way, baby. For the most part, these advancements have served us well. We’re able to produce more food, travel longer distances in less time, eradicate once-deadly diseases, and improve the length and quality of our lives. Some negative consequences, such as increased pollution and more dangerous weapons, have been ushered in as well. But I think the most dangerous side effect is that we find the promise of what the future holds so compelling, …

Try The Alligator
During a recent trip to southern Louisiana, I tried me some deep fried alligator. It tasted like chicken (with a hint of fishiness.) I enjoyed it immensely. I also tried frog legs for the first time, and some warm, delicious beignets from Café Du Monde in New Orleans. We had a program near Lafayette, and tacked on an extra day to explore The Big Easy. I'm not sure which was better: the people or the food. Our hosts were friendly, gracious, and Cajun to the bone. And the yummy shrimp, jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans and rice still has my tummy smiling. It's a close call, but both made for …
Miles of Smiles
In February we started traveling with Lucy. Jason and I have "busy seasons" in our travels for our speaking gigs so rather than being apart for six weeks we decided to make it work as a family. In Lucy's short four months of life she has now been on 20 flights, visiting 12 different states. Comparing our travels BL (before Lucy) and now, we have determined one thing: Life is so much more fun with a baby! The biggest thing we noticed is that people are so much more friendlier now. The roughest, toughest looking hardened adults are instantly transformed into the biggest softies when they see …
