Bert was always my favorite character in Mary Poppins, but I like Dick Van Dyke even more now.
The actor is donating his time as the new spokesperson for the Cell Therapy Foundation, which supports and educates about adult stem cell research. It’s good work!
You can see the first PSA featuring Mr. Van Dyke at the Cell Therapy Foundation’s website.

I Googled “happy news.” And look what I found!

I received a very troubling email recently from a mom who is obviously experiencing great despair about her family’s faith life. I thought I would share a portion of her comments with you, as well as part of my reply in the hopes that you could perhaps chime in with some additional encouragement and recommendations of practical steps she might take. Here is part of her email:
I don’t know what to... READ MORE

Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Monday, April 26, 2010
Here’s a New York Times story that made me do a double take this weekend:

At his press conference on Monday, the following question and answer... READ MORE
