Last week in WOW (Women of Wisdom), the girls were discussing a friends potential boyfriend and started saying that they would “have to approve” of him. I asked them what were they looking for when “approving” a friends boyfriend. They discussed different standards. I encouraged them to write these down. This week, they did, however, [...]

12 of 12: May 12
Sorry about the delay. The problem with Tuesday is that it is followed by Wednesday, which is my busy day. To make up for the delay, I will throw in some bonus pics.
But let’s begin with my day on May 12 (due to an unfortunate incident, there are only 11 pictures.)
5:05am – My day begins [...]

Love is…
We’ve started Theology of the Body in BOB and WOW, and the result has been great in just two weeks.
Last night, one of our teens texted me and said that he was writing down thoughts and quotes that came to him as he reflected on the subject:
“Mankind’s ultimate goal is true love, but most men [...]

WOW
As I said in my previous post, we are finished with the Fruits of the Spirit, and also, finished with our first semester of WOW. I must say that it is one of the best things in my life. Every week we have anywhere between 8-15 girls come and it is truly awesome to watch [...]

Fruits of the Spirit: Generosity
For generosity we talked a lot about tithing. And not just money, but time and talents as well. For many high school students, this is what they can give.
At the end of the night I gave the girls a sheet with contact information on things they could do in their own community to be generous, [...]

Fruits of the Spirit: Self-Control
Ah, self control. Everyone’s favorite!
Once again, I’m pretty vague on this one. I remember that we talked of temptation and what we can do to combat that, but I can’t remember exactly what we discussed.
Sorry

Fruits of the Spirit: Gentleness
Gentleness was a fun one. It ended up going two weeks, we were having so much fun with it.
I knew that one of the first things the girls would think of when I mentioned gentleness is weakness, because that is the rep that being gentle gets. So, first I found an article that we all [...]

Fruits of The Spirit: Goodness
Whoops. I know, I know. I haven’t been keeping up with these. The good news is that we are on break and I will finish up the series with my posts on goodness, gentleness, self-control, chastity, modesty and generosity. The bed news is that I don’t think I kept my notes so this will all [...]

Fruits of the Spirit: Faithfulness
Yes, I know, we skipped goodness. Don’t worry, we will come back for it. We skipped over goodness because while the girls are studying the fruits of the spirit, the boys have been studying the virtues of saint Joseph (based on this book). Their next virtue was faithfulness, so we decided to skip ahead and [...]

Fruits of the Spirit: Kindness
I’m a little behind schedule on these, but that’s ok.
For our discussion on kindness, we started out talking about acts of kindness. Scratch that. The first time we talked about kindness, we started talking about forgiveness and that segued into a Q&A session over Catholic theology.
The SECOND time we talked about kindness, we talked about [...]
