		<title>Shop Local&#8230;for Catholic media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In keeping with the theme of shopping local, I am expanding on the idea I broached a few weeks back.  There&#8217;s something simply unusual about local retailers.  That&#8217;s how small businesses stay in business&#8211;they meet a need, find a niche, or fill an otherwise missing void in the area.  For us, there&#8217;s a lot of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shopping Local: More Fun, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The more I looked around at the store after writing the last post on shopping local, the better the idea seemed to me.  For some reason, while working here, I had found myself complacent in the many ways our store is rather interesting and exciting. For example, we are one of the few places you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simplicity as gift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In keeping with the most recent theme of simplicity, this post will focus on a great book by Brother Victor-Antione D&#8217;Avila-Latourrette, The Gift of Simplicity. While I&#8217;ve heard in many circles about the concept of simplifying life, keeping things toned down, and limiting the self for the sake of all, &#8220;doing&#8221; simplicity is a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shop local: Add a little fun to your world!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In keeping with our theme of the last several weeks, I&#8217;m constantly on the lookout for reasons to keep my dollars local.  One of the most unusual responses to this search was that local stores tend to be more &#8220;fun&#8221;.  Until I actually spent a little time thinking about that, the idea had not really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Simple&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether or not you all are enjoying them, the idea of thematic units on our blog has been really helpful to me&#8230;it&#8217;s nice to be able to take a look at some topic in perspective of the many works available.  Over the next few weeks, I will focus on several books on the topic of simplicity.  This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shopping Locally: Saving Money?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first heard that many people began to talk about how shopping locally can save you money, I thought that it might seem a little off.  I mean, with all the online specials, free shipping offers, and super-deep discount coupons, it doesn&#8217;t make sense that going to your local store might cost less. But [...]]]></description>

		<title>Devote yourself to going green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over one year ago, I promoted a brand new, environmentally friendly Bible, known simply as The Green Bible, a New Revised Standard Version edition&#8230;minus the Catholic books.  This particular Bible featured all things environmental, from soy-based ink to recycled paper and a fabric cover.  In addition, this Bible included reflections and meditations on Scripture and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shop local: Support local talent (part 4)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on this collection of posts for a while now, and hopefully, it&#8217;s giving our readers a little bit of insight as to what it is we do.  But one of the best parts about shopping locally with a dedicated retailer is that such small businesses tend to really promote as much local [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gaining Stability, Gaining Ground</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been fascinated by Benedictine spirituality for a while now.  A significant part of the spiritual life, according to Benedictine understanding, is eveloped in the three-fold vows of both Oblates and monastics: obedience, continual conversion of heart, and stability.  This isn&#8217;t the typical understanding of vows Catholics associate with religious orders (poverty, chastity, and obedience), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Taking a break</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Through the month of August, I&#8217;ll be taking a break from posting about books for kids.  We have had a great summer, full of excitement and energy, but it&#8217;s time to rest a little&#8211;relaxation can be a great thing!  So, be sure to keep checking on Mondays and Wednesdays for new releases and our local [...]]]></description>
