About
2 years I got Sirius XM Radio in my car and my father-in-law told me about The Catholic Channel. It was wonderful
to listen to as I was in the car and I was getting to know the different shows
very quickly. Soon after, I started taking my kids to visit Great Grandma,
which is about 30 minutes away from where we lived about once a week. So about
once a week I started driving and listening to The Catholic Channel. Shortly
after, I stumbled across a show called, The
Catholic’s Next Door. Married couple Greg and Jennifer Willits put on the
show about various Catholic and family topics and also includes different
guests, authors, etc.
As a recent Catholic Convert and as a Catholic Mother
and Wife I remember being happily surprised that there was such a fun, family
oriented and educational show was on the radio! It was about a year after I completed RCIA and was
confirmed in the Catholic Church and I was very eager to learn everything I
could about my faith and my faith as it pertains to my vocation as a Mother and a Wife. I started listening to their show every time I was able to as we were
driving.
They just recently went off the radio and went back to recording
Podcasts exclusively for their faithful listeners. I was sad to see them go off
the radio but I was super relieved that they went back to Podcasts. Especially
since I can listen to their show anytime now and download their podcasts on my iPhone
and listen anywhere.
Last week, I entered their super pack giveaway, which included:

I’ve entered a handful of blog
giveaways but have never won so I wasn’t very confident in entering a contest
that I knew would get a lot of attention and entries. BUUUuuuuttt, I thought I
would give it a try at the last minute. To make a long story short, I woke up
this morning and quickly looked through my inbox and I saw that I WON!!! Yup,
that’s right!!! I WON the super prize pack giveaway!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!! I am so
ecstatic!! So thank you very much Jennifer and Greg Willits for picking me and
I look forward to receiving my prizes! And to all my many readers (chuckling as
I’m writing that) out there you should go and check them out when you can. What
I really love about them is they are real. They talk about real family issues
and are very honest about their feelings and concerns. They do it with
sincerity, lots of humor and conviction. They have been an inspiration to me
and my family. You can view them at http://thecatholicsnextdoor.newevangelizers.com.
In their 4th podcast that came out this evening they announced me as
the winner, which I will write off as my 5 seconds of fame. J
This
week’s book:
I
actually bought this book a year ago but hadn’t had a chance to read it yet. I
have been thinking about it for a few months now but I will begin reading this
book tonight and I will keep you all update. Let me know if you read it and
what you thought about it.
