The idea of a woman going into battle at … Continue reading Saint Joan of Arc: Setting the Record Straight

The Strata of Grief
Almost a year and a half since my sister died. Seven and a half years since the disease made its entrance. Fear. (Mine, I mean.) Those seven years were blighted by it. The anxiety every time she had follow-up tests, the relief at a good report. I didn’t think of it this way then, I … Continue reading The Strata of Grief

God Is In Charge
The world is so crazy, and so many bad things are happening. Lately, seeing cute animal videos gives me hope. Whenever I see these, I feel like God is reminding me that He exists, that He is good, that He is in charge, and that He wins in the end. https://twitter.com/Funniest_Family/status/1647346248922419202
