"Blessed are the Peacemakers." First of all, can I just say, it was so nice to have a debate so chill that all anyone is talking about is THE FLY?!? Man I needed to wake up for one day and read a thousand jokes about that funny moment in the debate after what happened last... Continue Reading →
Pray for Trump
Lord, have mercy on them. Many of my followers are angry and hurt by the way Trump has handled the coronavirus. So am I. My sense of justice and irony in storytelling is making this particular information extremely difficult to process. If this were in a movie or a book, it would be perfect. But... Continue Reading →
How to Fast: God’s Way
Isaiah 58 changed my life and understanding of what God wants from His people. It begins with God telling Isaiah to tell His people to “Cry our full-throated and unsparingly...tell them their wickedness and the House of Jacob their sins.” He is not mincing words here. They listen, they cry out and ask Him, “Why... Continue Reading →
How to Pray to St. Joseph to Buy or Sell your Home
Before I begin, I ask that you please be careful not to pray the prayer I am going to quote. It is cruel and devoid of the love we should have for other humans whether living or dead. There are asterisks where St. Joseph’s name was in an effort to provide some distance from prayer... Continue Reading →
The Associate Pastor’s Tirade

When did I start preaching Like so many talking heads Doing the things I don't do Yet learned to, but still don't Understand... Continue Reading →
RE: White Girl, I’m Not Sure I Trust You Yet
There was this article I saw for about two seconds at one point a couple of weeks ago. It was on my newsfeed for a moment before it disappeared, but it has sat with me so intensely that I just want to respond to anyone who read that article and felt something. Dear ‘White Girl... Continue Reading →
The Tapestries(from PEACEWEAVER)
While I was practicing yoga regularly, I redecorated my home. My tastes were bohemian, but I was concerned about surrounding myself with tapestries made in India about gods I do not understand. I searched for Catholic art, but I could not find anything that even remotely hit the style I was seeking. What’s more is... Continue Reading →
#Throughfire
As Quarantine began, the community led by Catholic Creatives exploded with innovators inspired to help others through their struggles. We faced our own giants of fear and trepidation, but something in us drove us to community and fellowship. My desire was to fill social media with art to help with the constant deluge of news...
