"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
Yesterday, Brantly Millegan posted on his blog Young, Evangelical, and Catholic the second part of his series “Why we’re contraception-free” (Part 1 | Part 2). I’ve really been enjoying it and I think you should read it too 🙂

As it happens, he’s having a sale going on at the moment, so head on over to his blog and get some Christmas shopping done!
Free. Total. Faithful. Fruitful.
