On Tattoos 🎨

I am excited to bring you a blog post by a guest author for the very first time!! I was so interested upon hearing this perspective in a conversation that I immediately asked my friend Frances to write an article explaining it. To me it represents a very middle of the road and sensible approachContinue reading “On Tattoos 🎨”

a little about a LOT

I love this podcast where one of my favorite commentators, Ben Shapiro, calls out the reliance upon an elite expert class. Shapiro is always so wise and witty. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0lkPW2R35RUv1EDpCvAZbi?si=93CL-7P2TASClr0E2AciKA When I left my full time legal career to stay at home with my first baby which turned into five babies over the next 7 years,Continue reading “a little about a LOT”

On Being Moved

This might strike you as a weird post but give it a chance…. I grew up under the tutelage of a mother who had come to Jesus during the “Jesus Freak” years of the 70’s. Some hippies were into the druggie scene, others were into the Jesus movement. My Mom, late now, would tell usContinue reading “On Being Moved”

The Hail Mary 📿🙏🏻

I grew up in a household with a mother who had left the Catholic faith after attending Catholic all her years. She was attracted by the Jesus movement of the 1970’s, trending toward a more fundamentalist, charismatic, experiential based expression of the Christian faith. I was taught that we should avoid rote prayers and makeContinue reading “The Hail Mary 📿🙏🏻”

Why I’m Happy I Threw My Son’s Phone in the Lake 💦📲

Parenting is not for the faint of heart. Having a house full of teenagers is Really not for the faint of heart. It can drive you to the brink of madness. One minute they are pushing you away. The next they are needy and demanding of your time and presence. You never see them whenContinue reading “Why I’m Happy I Threw My Son’s Phone in the Lake 💦📲”
