Extremely fascinating! It's personal accounts such as this that really crystalize Catholic concepts that I've heard about forever, finally making the real to me.

However ... Now I'm worried about a photo collage I had made of my daughter when she was a baby. A local photographer frames nine B&W detail shots of your nude baby. This photo package is so well-known and popular locally that a gift certificate to this studio is a favorite baby shower gift. I have this priceless and adorable frame with close-ups of my daughter's hand, her foot, her eye and eyebrow, the dimple in the back of her neck, her tushy ... I can't imagine this is satanic in any way, but it does give me pause. She of course is so much more than the sum of her parts. When I did it, I was hoping to immortalize her babyhood perfection. I hope she sees it that way as she gets older.
