Blogger Meme

I’ve been memed.
Rob kindly tagged me for this Blogger Meme, so without further ado….
1. Do you attend the Traditional Latin Mass or the Novus Ordo Mass?
I attend Mass where Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. Jesus is not more present in one Mass than the other. The graces I receive are not [...]

Is there such a thing as Renewed Purity?

With all the talk on the blog about dating, perhaps now would be a good time to post a link to an article I wrote a couple of years ago on the subject of Renewed Purity for the Non-Virgin.  Is it possible for a non-virgin to regain her purity?  Read this post and add your [...]

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

I just had a few minutes to kill and thought I’d peruse the comments from fairly new acquaintences of Ukok’s Place. I knew there’d be one or two new’ish readers, but what do I find? Loads!
I am a very neglectful blogger. I don’t update my links regularly, I am terribly forgetful, I often [...]

Predigitalis

You may remember that a few weeks ago I mentioned that I was having a bit of a sort out and getting some stuff together to give to charity. Well, during my sort out, and this will give you a big hint about housekeeping not being one of my strong points….I actually discovered 5 [...]

Online Dating worked for me!

…. and it worked not by fulfilling it’s goal of introducing me to someone who I could be a ’success story’ with, but because it helped me to understand that it was most definately not for me!!!
One of the areas of my life that I have found consistantly difficult to entrust to the Lord, is [...]

Thanks so much for your prayers for me and mine yesterday as we went on Retreat to Colwich Abbey. I am pleased to report that it was a very rewarding experience. I [...]

Mathetes Award

I’m very pleased to learn that Marie and Ginny have nominated me for the Mathetes Award. Thanks ladies! I’m delighted to have been chosen to receive this! I’m particularly chuffed because I’m lousy at Mathematics and it’s the only award I’ve ever had for ‘Math’ of any description.

Here’s some blurb explaining what [...]

On Day Retreat

Our diocesan annual retreat for members of the Union of Catholic Mothers, is at Colwich Abbey today- it’s 7.30am and I’d better get a move on instead of writing this really, but you know how it is with this bloggin’ thang!
Here’s the post I wrote last year about the Colwich retreat, it has a couple [...]

De- Lurking Week

I know there’s supposed to be a ‘time for this’ in the blogospheric ‘calendar, but who get’s to decide when such things should take place?  I want to know who’s visiting ukok’s place. I know that the spammers are visiting in their droves….and I know this because it seems I’m forever catching [...]

What are little boys made of?

I just have to ask. Will my son ever grow out of being incredibly goofy and annoying? He’s a laugh a minute, even when he’s not trying, but ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!! Right now it’s hard for me to see that he may possibly one day be a responsible, mature, husband and father….

 

 
Tell me there’s [...]

Why Protestants can’t receive the Eucharist in the Catholic Church

I think it only right to mention that my post on “Why Protestants can’t receive Communion in the Catholic Church”, is still somewhat active.  I’ve taken a semi-permanent ‘time out’ on it as I have too many other things on the go and believe I have contributed sufficiently both in the post itself and in [...]

Tantrumming tots are not a patch on troublesome teens!!!

This single parenting lark ain’t so easy. I’m not complaining, just stating a fact. I know that it’s hard for 2 – parent families too. Sometimes we parents can feel so unappreciated, invisible and downright taken for granted. So, tell me, just how old do you think children need to be before [...]

The Tools of Womanhood

Yesterday my daughter informed me that she had enjoyed using the ‘tools of womanhood’ that very afternoon while up in her bedroom. At first I was puzzled and then alarmed and then relieved to discover that she was not referring to the vaccum cleaner which she so rarely uses (though vaccuming wouldn’t have [...]
