Today we went to N'Awlins Crab House right by our house. The place was great especially the decor. The food especially the scallops wrapped in bacon with rice, hush puppies and coleslaw was good but I wasn't too crazy about the rice because it had a bad after-taste. I liked the decor because it reminded me of when we went to South Carolina to visit my friend. I think I would want to go back to N'Awlines again some day.

Maybe the Catechism Should Update Its Pics?

I've read that 'only' 3% of the abortions are performed because something is 'wrong' with the baby. I've also read that more Catholics have abortions than Protestants. I've seen supposedly holy Catholics shun my handicapped daughter. And I've noticed that the Catechism has pictures from the 50's. There are no handicapped people (or people of different races and ethnicities) portrayed. So I'm wondering if maybe the illustrations were changed, maybe kid Catholics today will grow up to be more accepting of the handicapped (and people from different races and ethnicities) and would be less apt to kill their unborn handicapped child? Maybe to effectively end abortion, we need to change the mindset so all abilities (and races and ethnicities) will feel welcomed in the Church founded by Christ? Just a thought.
