Mary Meets Dolly turns 7!

This week marks seven years of blogging here at Mary Meets Dolly. Seven years is a long time. Not all of it has been a blast, I have to say, but I continue on in my mission to help everyday Catholics understand what is happening in the complex world of biotechnology. This lowly former lab rat has done her absolute best to interpret and inform those of us without MDs or PhDs whose eyes tend to roll back in our heads at the first mention of technical jargon. (It happens to me me so often that one might think I am battling a recurring zombie-viral outbreak.)

This year has brought many changes and challenges as I began writing for the National Catholic Register, LifeNews, and the lovable brothers at Creative Minority Report.

As always, all I ask from my readers are your continued prayers for me that my writing is inspired by the Holy Spirit and that I am guided by the will of Our Heavenly Father. In the Internet age, grace and charity are a virtues that are not only hard to find, but hard to maintain. Prayers for clarity, peace, and grace are always appreciated.

To celebrate seven years of writing, I am taking a vacation from blogging for a few weeks. Biotechnology really has not been a major issue in this election so I think now would be the perfect time to sit back and watch the political sparks fly from the sideline.

God bless you all and have a blessed few weeks.
