If there were a fire and in the fire there was one baby and a crate of a hundred fertilized embryos, which would you save if you could only save one? Meant to be inflammatory, this question has stuck with me for several weeks because it shines a light on the truth. We would save …
While we lift our voices up in praise and adoration and thanksgiving, others are lifting up their voices in anguish and lament.
At a certain point, one simply runs out of fucks to give. All the fucks you had in your fucks bag, bag of fucks if you will, are gone. You reach your expectant hand into that bag and try to scoop one out. You swirl it around, shake the bag, turn it upside down, and …
A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun. It avoids the redundancy of saying a name over and over, thus preventing Beetlejuice from being summoned or Bloody Mary from ripping out your eyes. Pronouns are a magical thing when used properly. Americans have a tendency to misuse the English language to the disdain of …
It’s a strange thing isn’t it, the speed limit? That’s supposed to be as fast as you go, the top limit. In everyday culture however, it is the base. We drive around impatiently urging people along. If people are going the speed limit or, God forbid, under it, they are commonly tailgated, sometimes passed regardless …
As I’m driving in my car, I look around and realize that we are missing something important. This is the most beautiful weather we’ve had in months. The sun is shining and the breeze is light. You could wear jeans and a sweater or shorts and a t-shirt and be comfortable. It’s the time between …
Scared of the Questions. Terrified of the grey. Hostile toward the difference. Worried about the commonality. Hell bent on the answers. Refusing to feel doubt. Blind to contradictions. Eager to condemn. Stuck in the same verses. Hearing the same messages. Smeared with politics. Worshiping tradition. Forsaking the least. Afraid to step out of line. Drowning …
In my previous post I mentioned that I’ve outgrown this blog. It’s tying me down, and I honestly don’t even recognize the person from most of the posts anymore. I have started a new blog. It’s just the beginning. I want to invite you guys, whoever may be left, to get to know me for … Continue reading
I’ve outgrown this. This place I needed to keep separate from the world. I’m too old for it. As my children grow and I come into who I am as an actual adult, I realize that my field of fucks given is growing more barren by the year. I am not a person with a … Continue reading
Have I told you that I am schooling my children? Yeah. I’m homeschooling my eldest son and starting formally with my daughter this coming year. I, the one who used to shake her head and giggle and at the very thought of teaching her children math, has a son whose favorite subject is math. Joke’s … Continue reading
What if the way we decided to approach God started with the idea not that we are evil sinners deserving of death, but instead that God is a god of great concern. What if we have been looking at this all wrong? The religion I grew up with almost always began with the Romans Road. … Continue reading
Today I realized I haven’t really written about the pandemic. How odd. I suppose I haven’t had much time. Some people, I’m told, have taken up hobbies, worked out, read tons of books, learned a language, not me. I’ve taken up educating and entertaining my children 72-80 hours a week. I’m tired. But today, for … Continue reading
Each church body is just looking for a sin which they don’t feel guilty of so they can be superior, as if God is a bear and we must simply outrun our comrades to escape being consumed in the flames of Hell that inhabit the mouth of God. Continue reading
Girl, I know you still pray everyday that it works out. I know you try to love. I know you’re your very best self right now. I know you’re doing what’s right so you don’t have to face God and confess any different. I am so proud of you for that. Like super proud. But … Continue reading
Name a free woman that you know, what you could learn from her? My forehead wrinkles, my eyes look left and right and up, as if looking around my empty room will manifest a free woman in my life from whom I can learn. I don’t know any. I know women who are standing on … Continue reading
We have no loyalty to you. We consider ourselves part of your rank only as far as it serves us. It no longer serves us. You have acquiesced to our goals, you have molded yourself to our demands, and changed your foundation to match ours, but it isn’t enough. It’s not even close to enough. … Continue reading
My son is sitting across from me doing Math-U-See. Doing this for a month and a half very very sporadically and never forcing him to keep going after his interest wanes, we’ve accomplished 88 pages of work that’s 20% of the total coursework for math for his kindergarten year. Currently he is crossing out the … Continue reading
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
