So, yeah.
I got really sick of that whole “Dear Mom on the iPhone” convo that went on a few months ago. Lots of accusing. Lots of excuses. Truth somewhere in the middle. Nothing new there.
I don’t even have a smart phone, or a tablet, [...]
Yesterday, it was pointed out that getting all gushy on Valentine’s Day could be hurtful to others who aren’t in relationships or, perhaps even more, to those who were in rocky relationships.
It’s a good point. And, admittedly, I was a bit chastened upon reading it since, as I’ve acknowledged before, [...] image source I’ve been so saddened lately. Some of it is my own hypersensitivity and I am totally willing to own that. I know I get hurt way too easily and take things too personally. That’s my own issue and not something I can blame on others.
But some of it… well, [...]
I’m going to say something so NOT politically correct here…
I don’t feel one bit sorry for the man who shot all those people in Sandy Hook.
NOT ONE BIT.
And, these days, that makes me a bad person. The RIGHT thing– the proper thing– to say [...] First off, I’d just like to issue a disclaimer that this is NOT a deep, philosophical post that will analyze the impact of gender identification on children.

As a Catholic, I am acutely aware of the impact that Obamacare (<– Obama himself has stated he likes the term, so I’m in no way trying to offend [...] image source In the past two days, I have heard two “lunchroom” stories that broke my heart.
The first involved our very own elementary school. You should know that I live in one of the richest– and thinnest– states in the nation. We are always, always in the top five list when [...] photo source I used to think it was evidence of weakness. Used to think I lacked conviction. I felt like a sub-standard Christian… too much or not enough, depending on the day.
How could I understand and believe in a biblical view of marriage, designed, by God, to be between one man [...] image source I’ve likely worn you all out with all my discussions about why I’m pro-life. No matter what. And how I have a very hard time reconciling how someone could be pro-choice and against the death penalty.
