Modesty Monday 6 – My idea of modesty
I don’t think I ever appreciated how quickly Mondays sneak up on you until I had the bright idea to start a blog series that runs on Mondays. Brilliant, Katie. Anyway, time for my idea (sorry to bore you, drum up a guest poster and we’ll have interesting new spins!). I don’t ever remember hearing [...]
on being driven out
I am, admittedly, a baby in the pro-life movement. I’ve said it many times before. I am a Democrat. In this election I find I am faced with a choice between a man I find vile, reprehensible, and sketchy, and a man whose ideas are tarnished by his association with things I cannot support. It’s [...]
Sabbath
The Third Commandment instructs us to “Remember to keep holy the LORD’s Day.” I’ll admit that in my adulthood I have never been very good at that. For one thing, during the first two years of teaching, Sunday is a good day for grading & lesson planning. Saturday you do laundry, clean, grocery shop, all [...]
7 Quick Takes 15 (Scatterbrained like Woah Edition)
Brought to you by Jen at Conversion Diary, here’s my belated edition: 1. I’m terrible at keeping anything a secret. When I get Adam a present, I can barely contain myself, and 60% of the time wind up telling him what it is or giving it to him early. So I haven’t been writing as [...]
Um, I’m sorry, I’m unworldly, unattractive and unpleasant?
Guys, guys, you’ll never believe it. First, there was this CRAZY spike in my views the other day & I did a great imitation of the kangaroo in “Ze end of ze world,” popping my head from under the snow of nuclear winter & quipping, “WTF mate?” So I clicked a link or two & [...]
Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa
I’ve been a crappy blogger. Does it help if I tell you that I have a half dozen or more posts written & saved as drafts? Nothing seems to come out right, and I can’t seem to put the words together in such a way as they communicate what I’m trying to communicate. Quite the [...]
Modesty Monday 5 – Wood Turtle’s take on Modesty
So I took two weeks off, I apologize. But I’m psyched to get back to exploring different concepts of modesty for women from different backgrounds. Today my guest writer is Wood Turtle, who blogs brilliantly about Islam, Feminism, and motherhood. She’s currently expecting her second, (any day now!) and was enormously gracious and still managed [...]
Words of Wisdom from a Protestant
There’s a woman I work with who is a devout Christian. She goes to a non-denom church in her neighborhood, and she knows her shit. Today I was stressing over this, that, and the other. I don’t wanna be a drama queen, but there’s kind of a lot going on in our lives right now. [...]
It’s been a weird day
On the way to work today, I was rocking out to a cd that one of my JV Casamates made for me. Everything was grand. I was the first one at the office, unlocked the door, turned off the alarm, turned on the coffee. I love getting here early, the quiet moment to gather my [...]
Off the Deep End
I’ve bumped our regularly scheduled Modesty Monday post to bring you an update that makes my heart thump in my ears, my chest tight, and generally all my fight-or-flight alarms to go off. I was offered a job – making less money – at a Crisis Pregnancy Center here in Tucson. And I took it. [...]
