"There really isn't a middle ground. The world makes us think you can have it all. But, you can't ...and ultimately, what you want to have is God. You have to pick a side and, if you pick the side of truth and love, you can help yourself and help others," said Danielle Heckenkamp, wife, mother of six and author of many articles related to motherhood, modernity and Catholicism. "We need to help children understand what talents God gave them and what he wants them to do with those talents. And, ultimately, those talents need to lead you and other souls to heaven. By focusing on all talents, all of which are graces from God, we need to find what he wants us to do with them for His glory, not for our glory.
