It's Good Friday 2017! Today we're going to be looking back at this week and see how God has made himself present in our lives.

This week on the blog was a full one for us! We usually post new written content on Mondays and Wednesdays and then upload a podcast on Fridays. This week, we decided to offer a post every day in honor of Holy Week. We began lighthearted with date night suggestions and followed with a guest post before moving into weighted topics like the Triduum and Easter renewal. 

On a sad note, Rachel is absent from the podcast today because she's out-of-state helping her parents in the aftermath of the loss of her grandmother, June Bug. Please pray for comfort for Rachel and her family as well as for the repose of the soul of Rachel's grandmother. 

Kristi recorded this week's podcast on Holy Tuesday (her family's Taco Tuesday) while browning taco meat and running dishes through the dishwasher to reflect on our frenzied pace of life and our commitments (she actually almost missed a quarterly meeting that night!), all to end with a challenge to slow down and focus on family and God during what's left of Lent.

Grab a glass of something refreshing or a mug of something warm and join in the conversation! We'd love you to head back to www.hailmarry.org and leave us a comment on the blog post with this podcast.

The book Kristi mentioned, Hands Free Mama, can be purchased on Rachel Macy Stafford's website of the same name, if you're interested. It appears that she's since come out with two other books. There's also a blog you can follow about living hands-free. Check it out and read the book while Kristi re-reads it!

May the remaining time in the Triduum bring you blessings as we begin a joyous Easter season!
