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 [...]
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 & [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Lord, make me humble. (Or, something I’m learning this Lent)
I have been called opinionated and forthright. I have been described as assertive, honest, and forward. Unfortunately, these are all nicer ways of stating the truth: I’m kind of a bitch (and by kind of, I mean, very much). For Lent, I’ve been trying to give up this kind of behavior, and my success has [...]
Modesty Monday 2 – Rachel’s idea of Modesty
[I'd like to preface her post with this gentle reminder that I, alone control the comment section for this page, and I do so with a pc-meter finely tuned by an upbringing in an easily-offended blue-state. So I encourage everyone to be loving and accepting - you know, like Jesus.] For today’s Modesty Monday post, [...]
I was never a fan of Lifetime movies, but . . .
I have to be honest, I never really liked Lifetime movies. They always seemed so improbable – stuff like that never happens in real life. You know the type, Sally Field in a panic, searching for her daughter in an Arab country. Fuzzy focus, high-waisted jeans, lots of drama & melodrama. I used to hate [...]
Note to self: It’s not a competition, Stupid!
I am enormously blessed to have many friends. Some of my friends have parents who were able to pay for their education. One of my friends’ parents even paid for their car, still pay for their credit card, and for their ticket home to visit. Some of my friends have bought houses already, and have [...]
