“Mom! Tell us stories about when you were a kid!” The eyes of my six year old son were bright with expectation as he took another bite of his applesauce and waited. I paused for a moment to think. “What?” he asked. “Do you just not remember or something?!” “No, I remember,” I replied, “IContinueContinue reading “Women Creating Culture: A Series Of True Stories”

CNN Reports: “It’s Better To Cancel Now And Celebrate Later.”
The headline read,” ‘An event canceled is better than a life canceled,’ WHO chief warns ahead of holiday season.” World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus went on to say, “It’s better to cancel now and celebrate later, than to celebrate now and grieve later.” I understand the sentiment and I know what he meantContinueContinue reading “CNN Reports: “It’s Better To Cancel Now And Celebrate Later.””
Why Some Are Saying No
This is a written defense of sorts. A defense of those being oppressed for having the nerve to ask questions… those who are refusing to comply. This is not a professional medical opinion meant to sway your choice. It’s simply an explanation of why people are so concerned over their lack of ability to makeContinueContinue reading “Why Some Are Saying No”
VA Elections And Why We Must Keep Voting
I’m going to keep this brief. Many people believe the 2020 Elections were pretty sketch. Many conservatives believe that their vote no longer counts as election integrity has come under heavy speculation. We watched numbers flip on screens, mail in ballots become the dangerously popular trend, a frightening amount of ballot counting halted for hoursContinueContinue reading “VA Elections And Why We Must Keep Voting”
Six Tragic Stories… Plus 100,000 more
I’ve avoided writing on this for so long. I’ve had thoughts. I’ve had strong feelings. I’ve had deep concerns. But I was determined not to touch this one with a ten foot poll unless I had something truly helpful to say. I don’t have a medical background. I’m not a nurse or doctor or aContinueContinue reading “Six Tragic Stories… Plus 100,000 more”
A “Red Wave” Isn’t What We Need
As I watch tragedy after tragedy unfold before my eyes, I want to scream. It feels unfair. It feels wrong. It feels so incredibly unjust. Our president has made decisions that have caused, are causing, and will continue to cause so much pain and suffering. It feels like such a helpless thing to watch. IContinueContinue reading “A “Red Wave” Isn’t What We Need”
Afghanistan Tragedy: This Average American’s Point of View
I have no military experience, no political expertise, and though I’ve read many articles and opinions, my research is still quite limited. I won’t pretend to understand half of what’s going on right now in Afghanistan or the White House, for that matter. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have ultimately withdrawn from Afghanistan. I’m gladContinueContinue reading “Afghanistan Tragedy: This Average American’s Point of View”
White Guilt And The Gospel
Ok, yeah… I gotta step out there and hit on a few social/political issues every now and then. I haven’t touched a whole lot on racism/CRT/white privilege. I’m a wee bit late to this game, but it’s such a complex topic and I don’t want to speak out of turn or in ignorance. And I’mContinueContinue reading “White Guilt And The Gospel”
“Staying Safe” No Matter The Cost
I was walking through the mall with my three rambunctious little boys. In the midst of a wintery pandemic, it’s the only place I could really take them to burn off energy. My mom came along to help me wrangle them. As we walked, we were discussing my mom’s inability to go and visit withContinueContinue reading ““Staying Safe” No Matter The Cost”
“But What About Our Children?”
“It’s not me I’m worried about.” I looked my husband dead in the eye and continued. “When I see what’s happening in our country, when I see what’s happened in just a year, when I think of what could be coming, I wouldn’t be nearly so concerned if it were just me or just us,ContinueContinue reading ““But What About Our Children?””
