American Humane Association

www.americanhumane.org
The American Humane Association has been at the forefront of every major advancement in protecting children, pets and farm animals from abuse and neglect since 1877. Today they are also leading the way in understanding human-animal interaction and its role in society.
Studies have shown that there is a link between violence to people and violence to animals. Many times, women and children in abusive situations aren't the only ones suffering. Because of their joint mission, expertise, and long historical tradition, American Humane has unique qualifications to address the relationships between cruelty to animals and other forms of societal violence. American Humane works diligently to build a more humane and caring society. The integrity of their mission is that in a civilized society, no form of violence should be tolerated.
This is a truly AMAZING organization that is doing tremendous good in a world in need of a champion!

Father Ron's Column
My Catharsis

Father Ron was thrown into a personal "catharsis" albeit in a rather unusual way! His message of how necessary a personal, spiritual catharsis for each of us is, is poignant and timeless. At a time when our recent public figures are less than admirable, he addresses the ground that we as Christians should stand firm on!

Cultivating Life
www.cultivatinglife.com
It was my luck to catch an episode of CULTIVATING LIFE on WGN this weekend. What a great program! Cultivating Life explores how we've all moved out of our houses and into our backyards. Each week, they celebrate how Americans are reconnecting to the land. To do this requires a talented staff that works hard throughout the year to bring you a season's worth of Cultivating Life.
Whether it is in the garden or on the table, this is a great site for all us who don't get this on our local stations. CLICK HERE to find out more!
