My Journey with “Financial Peace” from a Catholic Perspective

Published June 29, 2011 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

How it started: Back in the first week of April ’11, a company-wide email was sent out at my workplace advertising a new course that was being offered. The program was Dave Ramsey‘s “Financial Peace University,” a 13-week video based personal finance class that would be moderated by a fellow employee on-campus during lunch. Everyone… [Read More]

Rosary lost, devotion found.

Published June 15, 2011 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog, Faith

Are there any statistics on how often the average person loses things? Particularly small things? Because I’m pretty sure I’m double that. Just ask my mom. (Just kidding, Mom!) Speaking of, I don’t think I told her that I had lost my Rosary. Ok, I admit I have several rosaries (and more than enough twine… [Read More]

Doubt as an Opportunity

Published June 2, 2011 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog

Do you ever fear that doubt or anxiety about future events somehow means you doubt God? I have a friend who deals with this often and I find myself talking her through it every once in a while. All it takes on my part really is just reiterating things she already knows. Like to be… [Read More]

Mary, my (Grand)mother

Published May 18, 2011 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog

May: Mary’s month. It wasn’t too long ago that this didn’t have any real meaning to me. When I was new to the church, despite how many times people tried to tell me about how Mary is my mother and loves me, I could never quite get my arms around it. I’d look at statues… [Read More]

Microevangelization

Published May 4, 2011 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog

I was ordering checkbooks last night when a little blank text box got me thinking. When I first thought about it, I thought I had a “chicken or the egg” paradox on my hands. I was thinking, what came first? My love for Christ, or my thirst for a relationship with Him? Combined, both have… [Read More]

Finding God in a Swiss Roll

Published April 6, 2011 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog

I was on a retreat last summer when my friend Elizabeth, a novice with the Servants of the 11th Hour, taught us to pray “and bless the hands that made the food” after grace. At first, I was a little flattered as I was one of those who helped cook lunch. By end of the… [Read More]

Catholic New Media Best Practices Volume 1

Published March 7, 2011 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog

Be Active in Promotions, Not Passive. It’s easy for those of us who use New Media to be detached from our followers, to just put up information about an event and expect people to come of their own volition. Truth is, social media is passive and best when given to its audience, not just available… [Read More]

Keep Austin Catholic

Published February 28, 2011 • Written by Laura Gonzalez Filed Under: Blog

I remember my first impression of Austin Catholic New Media. Or rather, my first misconception. It was along the lines of, “Um, what’s the big deal?” New media was commonplace to me. Aren’t Catholics already utilizing it to fulfill JPII’s call to a New Evangelization? But, that was over four months ago. Today, I couldn’t… [Read More]
