SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S ALL GO NUTS!!!!!!!!
Or not, last week I went to Holy Grounds, a ministry event that occurs Tuesday nights at the Ohio State University's Newman center. One of my beautiful sisters in Christ lead a discussion about how to keep our faith going when we may not be surrounded by those who are close to us, so I simply took the list and posted below for those of you who aren't OSU Students.
Brothers and sisters, I encourage you to actually pick one or two of the things on this list to work on or try out for the summer. Don't lose your faith because you aren't surrounded by those who have helped you grow this year, rather use the 'free' time you may have to help grow closer to our good Lord and deepen your relationship with Christ.
What Can We Do This Summer To Stay Focused On God?
1. Go to daily Mass or read the daily mass readings
2. Find a community at home
3. Pray!
4. Service to others/ Service projects
5. Schedule time with God. Make a date with Him

10. Scrapbook things you're thankful for.
11. Call people in the Buckeye community to be built up.
