Empty House - Catholic Husband

\n
\n

The neat, orderly, quiet, and sterile atmosphere is not how the family is meant to be. The kitchen stayed clean all week, and the beds made, and toys picked up, but it was a house nearly empty of life. The low hum of children running around, the voices of play, the small pleasures of funny phrases, all of it was missing. This is the great mistake of avoiding children: they are fountains of joy.

Secrets of Peace - Catholic Husband

\n
\n

Standing in the field where St. Kateri lived is a profound statement on sainthood. It did not appear special, it looked like a field in my neighborhood. The short hike through the woods to the natural spring from which they drew water looked like the woods in my backyard. That is precisely the point. Sainthood, holiness, and goodness doesn’t require us to relocate to Italy or to spend all day within the sanctuary walls. Collecting water, cooking meals, mending houses, all of these chores are the ordinary path to sainthood.

@manton I’m using your Paginate Setting plug-in (v 1.0.1) on Hugo 0.158. In settings, I have it set to show 25 posts on my main page, but only 10 are showing. Is there a change in 0.158 that stopped the plug-in from working?

@manton Just a quick note of thanks for Micro.one! I’m testing out a new business idea and needed a podcast host that was low risk and super simple. Micro.one is the perfect fit for testing the waters.

@manton the schools run papers/homework through checkers like they have for decades checking for plagiarism. The real problem is that students can miss learning important skills, like looking at search results and determining which websites are credible and which aren’t. Not to mention the ability to think, develop an argument, and communicate it.

@manton I started using Categories to automate management of collections, like podcasts, instead of my old way of manually updating a single page of links. With the podcasts specifically, the page load time is getting long with 276 episodes.

The plug-in for archives works so great, it would be the perfect solution.

@manton Can I get your professional opinion? My middle school son has been coding with blocks since Christmas. He’s comprehending concepts and wants to start work on learning a language this summer.

I hope you’ll seriously consider publishing the paperback. You only have to publish once and then it can live forever on Kindle Direct Publishing (or some other print-on-demand service). You wrote a real book; it deserves to have copies on people’s bookshelves.

@manton I’m using their ancient built-in plugin. I don’t think it has any export functionality and really hasn’t received meaningful updates since ~2018. I used to be very active in the Rapidweaver community and I might be the most active blog plugin user in the world; it’s pretty much abandoned. I can export the site to a local folder, and it gives me a .php file for every blog post. I don’t think an importer is really worth your time because I’m sure I’m in a very, very small group that would need this functionality, if it’s even possible.

\n

I have all of my blog posts in Ulysses, so my workflow is to publish them all from there. The redirects would be great, but I’m still moving to m.b even if I can’t do them because this is a huge body of work and I want it on a modern platform that’s going to last.

@manton 👋🏻 Hi Manton, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that you’re feeling better.

\n

I saw your blog on the updated the policy on reclaiming unused usernames. I’ve emailed support three times (May, August, and November) about trying to get two names for my kids’ blogs, but didn’t hear back. I know your support inbox has been overwhelming with everything else going on in your life!

\n

I wanted to message you directly to see if I can get these usernames claimed, if possible, so they can have their place on the web secured.

\n

Thanks for any help you can offer!
