I don't write about my faith a lot. I don't know how most of the time. But especially with everything going on in the world right now, this is one that I have been coming back to over and over. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for… Continue reading Religion: Sins of the Father.

Events: Lent 2020
I admire people who fast completely for lent, or at least give up a staple of their diet (a co-worker said he's giving up bread except for communion - that sounds like a challenge!). I'm going to ask you be patient as I work through this particular question. I don't like lent. I appreciate the… Continue reading Events: Lent 2020
Politics: Why I believe in legislation
I don't believe legislation is the fix for everything, but I think it can help. Specifically, when we are talking about the current beloved topic of "legislating morality." And this isn't simple to me - I have struggled a lot with the abortion topic over the years. So setting that one aside (It'll have to be another… Continue reading Politics: Why I believe in legislation
Life Memories: Milk
In 2008 I was fired from my first out-of-college job. She short version is that it was a family owned/run business and I wasn't family. This was at the beginning of September. In case you don't remember, September is sort of when several banks declared bankruptcy. And I was asking for unemployment with almost 1/2… Continue reading Life Memories: Milk
Life Events: violence this week
This has been a pretty horrible week. I don't even know how to express the grief and anger I feel for everyone involved in all of the events this week. The worst part is trying to find a way to help. There aren't marches to lead people to polls that are denied them. Community organizers… Continue reading Life Events: violence this week
Life Events: Response to Pulse Shooting
I was not going to write about the shooting last weekend in Orlando. I am about a cis white christian hetero-normative as I can be. I support LBGTQ friends & family, but this was not my community that was attacked - I do not want to speak from my position of amazing privilege and whine "oh,… Continue reading Life Events: Response to Pulse Shooting
Writing: Siblings
Once upon a time there was an oldest child. The child was born in dark days, life was hard and the family struggled just to survive. Death was all too common and sometimes it seemed strange and mysterious. This child grew up to be stubborn. Extremely stubborn sometimes. This child believed they had to work… Continue reading Writing: Siblings
Politics: A Christian Liberal
Let's begin with defining "Christian" (note the capital "C" here). This is anyone who professes true faith in Jesus as Christ and Savior - affiliated with a church or not. You then have "christians" who attend a church and may or may not be Christians. There are a lot of Christians outside the church sphere… Continue reading Politics: A Christian Liberal
Religion: Learning from Lent
Easter has just passed. Every year, Lent reminds me of the one year I gave something up. I was a sophomore in high school and I gave up wearing pants. Not that I went naked, but I wore skirts and dresses during lent. I know, weird right? I remember that I knew it was what… Continue reading Religion: Learning from Lent
The tattoo I carry in my heart
I want a second tattoo. I've wanted it 3 years so far, but I doubt I'll ever get it. Tattoos are still seen as somewhat "taboo" in the business world. So my second tattoo is one I try to carry in my heart, since I can't carry it on my body. My very first post… Continue reading The tattoo I carry in my heart
