For all of you stalking my site, waiting for me to post my interviews with the mega-families, I know that the above title was not what you were looking for. I know I promised, but it’s not as if I’m reneging. It’s coming, just not today. I know you’re excited, and trust me, from the material in my inbox, it’s something to look forward to. But I committed to hosting Vox Apologia VIII long before we ever started this discussion of Hope for Tired Mamas. (If you’re looking for those posts, scroll down.) And, actually, the topic for this Vox Apologia is very fitting.

The subject for this week’s Vox Apologia is The Least of These.

Send entries on the topic to this address by midnight on Sunday, March 6th and include the following:

  • The name of your post
  • The URL of your post
  • Your site’s name
  • Your site’s URL
  • A summary of your post is optional. (If you don’t include a summary, I will have to write one, and you’re taking a chance there…)

Some places this topic might go (but is certainly not limited to): who did Jesus mean when He spoke of “the least of these?”; what should caring for these ones look like?; the role of the government and the Church in this matter, etc. What this topic will not include, though it fits here well, are articles on Terri Schiavo. There are several websites, lists, blogrolls, and such that are handling that well, and I do not want to reinvent the wheel.

For newbies, here’s how it works. You write on the subject, send me the info, and then I post summaries and links of all the submissions. Simple. If you’re still unclear, here’s a FAQ and a recent sample.

Now, I just realized that I have a stack of unanswered email, and I just advertised for more. Bear with me, however, as I endeavor to keep the main thing, the main thing. For example, I prioritized my grocery shopping this morning to get the ingredients for this recipe over answering my email and otherwise entertaining you fine folks. Fellow rocket scientists are coming over Saturday night, and I finally had a justifiable reason to make the artery clogging abomination. (Job security for my husband?) Priorities, I know. So, send your entries and have patience with my reply. I got a dessert to test out.
