Holidays up north: Marian Valley

After the Lennox Head Homeschool Camp, we drove up to Coolangatta. Coolangatta was about an hour away from where we were, and is on the Queensland and New South Wales border. It as actually quite funny; travelling interstate all week!
the view from the apartment - the Beach
We (Mum and me!) picked Dad up from the Coolangatta airport [Helpful Hint: ALWAYS update your Nav-Man, Tom-Tom, or GPS BEFORE you go on holidays!!{as we got lost}]. I have learnt to keep quiet when Mum is telling the GPS off!!

I unfortunately caught a bug, which EVERYONE from homeschool camp got!(and some poor people had to go back home on the train!! poor things!). I will spare you the horrors and disgusting details of the Saturday, and will move on to a new subject!
Now, as the dialog has finished, ATTENTION! FORWARD MARCH! TO THE MARIAN VALLEY!

Mum knows a lady through blogger, Anne, who makes Rosaries and beautiful craft (to visit her blog, click HERE). We met her and her family for Mass and Lunch in the Marian Valley. It is such a beautiful place. If you're ever up that way, do visit!



Clockwise, from the top: Angela, Grace
and Me!


St. Joseph
Well, the day ended far too quickly, soon we had to go . . .
We drove back to Coolangatta, had a delicious dinner (of what, I can't remember - whoops!) and laid our sleepy eyes to rest!
Oh, well! All good things come to an end, sooner or later, as this post has . . .

For fear of a Laugh

Many a person indeed has taken on noble enterprises and has been willing to make great sacrifices, offer their goods and even suffer death for the greater glory of God and the exaltation of the Holy Church. But then, before the laughter of their peers, for fear of meeting a condoning smile or a sarcastic word, the heroic resolution collapses. The sign of cross is abandoned at the important business lunch, the ladies tea, the university or high school lunchroom. The resolute 13-year-old girl who has determined to dress modestly turns 16, and the pressure of her peers is suddenly more than she can bear: she dons blue jeans and tank tops and puts aside her old promises. Young men leave off praying the Rosary, serving Mass, avoiding vulgar conversations and bad companions because they don’t want to seem like “nerds” or “losers”… At certain functions, the scapular is slipped into the pocket…

And why? For fear of a laugh. For fear of the laughter of a serving woman, St. Peter denied Our Lord. How many more denials have been made so that we can adapt to a public opinion that does not censure us - or fall into a life of being “normal” and “fitting in”?
