Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in tribulation, steadfast in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality. ~ Romans 12:11-13


Meet the Family.....

Hi and welcome, I'm Jennifer Marie Lawrence, the author of this blog. (I need to add my middle name or you might think I'm the famous actress! lol!)
By God's grace, I was blessed 17 years ago to marry a wonderful man. Jon is my best friend and has been for over half my life. Together, he and I have had 9 children (ages 16 to 3). I'm honored to be their mamma and to home-educate them here in Pennsylvania. Every day is a challenge and a huge stress as we raise our 9 kids in the hopes that they will someday be saints in Heaven. The only way I get through each day is with God and my husband at my side. 

Jon and I first met as we both helped teach at our parish's CCD classes. He taught high school and I helped with 8th grade - Then, we were set-up by a sweet old nun! Today, we enjoy teaching our own kids the Catholic faith. With Jon as my faithful "side-kick" (although he'd playfully argue that I am his side-kick!), we try to find creative ways to teach the faith to our kids.
