Saw this on the Business Opportunities Weblog and it was rather startling. I probably averaged about 3-4 hours per day myself of TV watching, sure I haven't been able to develop it into an online business, but I do get to spend more time with my family. That's a very good thing to me.

Here's a couple of Catholic blogs with some northern Michigan ties that are both well written and highly entertaining. Check them out!

Stella Maris
If you are in the Petoskey, Michigan area anytime soon, make sure you stop and visit the The Marian Center in Joy Valley. Josh and Lori Mercer have worked hard by hosting conferences, publishing a Catholic newspaper and running a Catholic bookstore. Here's what the Marian Center is all about...

The mission of the Marian Center is to spread the teachings of the Catholic Church by hosting conferences, publishing The Morning Star newspaper six times a year, operating a Catholic bookstore, and maintaining the Holy Grounds of the Marian Center in Petoskey, Michigan, with its Grotto of the Archangels, Tomb of the Unborn Child and Reliquary of the Twelve Apostles.

We were there a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the hike through the woods with the Stations of the Cross and a stop at the Tomb of the Unborn Child. The kids had a blast looking at all the statues, especially the Grotto of the Archangels. Help Josh and Lori with their mission!

Turning Towards The Lord
Jeremy Priest is a Campus Minister in Detroit, Michigan who started his blog and named it Turning Towards the Lord because...

For a couple of reasons...1st because I know that it is only in turning toward Him that I find salvation; 2nd in order to honor His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, who has been my great teacher these past ten years and has repeatedly brought me to my knees in prayer ad orientem through his books, articles, and talks.

Jeremy has posted lots of great info on the new Latin Mass and what it all means!
