Bishops, Biden, and Brokenness in the Church
Ok, it’s time. I have been simultaneously working towards this and dreading it. The obligatory Biden and the Bishops post. Backstory: If you haven’t been consumed by the media on this, here’s the story: The USCCB, or US Conference of Catholic Bishops, voted last week on whether or not to draft a document on the...

A Letter to the Misfits
Dear Lonely One, I see you. Holding yourself together in the corner in back of the Church, frantically rocking your babies in the front row, sitting at home because it hurt too much last time. I see you struggling and doing your best. I see you when they speak cruel words to you and it... Continue Reading →
What Broke In Me
The Vox article about Trump’s damage to Christianity( Link here) is something I agree deeply with, even if I don’t agree with every word they say in thearticle. Even if Trump did some good, the cruelty he delivered it with and the lack of compassion that he delivered it with deserved to be pointed out... Continue Reading →
The Anniversary of Roe v Wade: The Stories I Don’t Tell

A man was arrested in Florida with weapons, and one in DC had 500 rounds of ammo. Michigan and Minnesota have known threats TODAY. (January... Continue Reading →
Understanding Unity and Accountability Through the Lens of Confession
For the last week, there has been a lot of talk about unity. This comes on the heels of an attack on our country's Capitol that left much of the country shook and uncertain of our future. Almost immediately those who still support Trump started shifting the blame, dismissing the pain others are feeling about... Continue Reading →
National Gaslighting:After The Attack on the Capitol
I think the hardest part of the attack on the Capitol for me has been the constant deluge of posts dismissing anyone who is upset about it. From a parody on the parable to “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone,” to comments about self-righteousness, to posts about how if you are... Continue Reading →

Please understand that it is impossible for me to give evidence to you of how dangerous Parler has become, without showing you the ugly side of what has come from Parler. I don’t want to read these either, but if you are worried that the shut down is about free speech,... Continue Reading →
