What began as an inherited gesture has become a quiet ache of reaching for water that isn’t there. The longing becomes prayer that resonates with Scripture and explores how holy water represents the blessing of what already exists rather than a demand for something new.

It helps us dig into religion and understand how to commit and dig into different way of religion in the world.

Tom Skinner replied to my comment on: "Featured Meme…": I don't care what you believe, evolution is an irrefutable fact and you are a flagrant liar. I have enough of your lies. Blocked. So, you know me… lol. Tom, your response proves something important.

A letter to my dad in poem form. He is dying, and even though he's put me through a lot, he's still my dad. Just wanted to share this and wanted to let everyone out there who has messed up fathers know that I completely understand. But know that when time takes them, I hope you have everything you wanted to say to them out. Because if you don't you won't get another chance.

Have you ever seen an atheist afraid to make a positive claim? Well, I have had several atheist pins downed on some very bad atheist talking points, they were in that precarious corner. So, once in that corner, they try to play, I don’t believe card. People say atheism is not an ideology. They say it is just a lack of belief in God. I understand why that line is popular. It sounds humble. It sounds restrained. It sounds like the atheist is making no grand claim at all. He is simply unconvinced. At the smallest dictionary level, I can grant that point. A person can lack belief in God without building a full philosophy around that lack. A man can say, “I am not convinced,” and stop there. My problem is that many public atheists do not stop there.

At some point in life, many of us imagine what motherhood will look like. For me, I never imagined doing it completely alone. But life doesn’t always go according to plan. Today I’m a single mom doing everything I can to provide for my child — juggling Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Spark deliveries just to keep our life moving forward. It’s not easy, it’s not glamorous, and some days it feels impossible. But when you’re a parent, you find a strength you never knew you had.

While the rest of the world’s superpowers continued to project power through the barrel of a gun, China made a radical, quiet decision.

Sleep Paralysis and my experience with it and my thoughts on it and how I have had for quite some time.

When we sin? What is there to do? Run from God? Or run to him? Don't let shamefulness turn you away from him.

Writing is fun but how to start? Here I encourage different ways you can begin and how I learned over the years.

No one really prepares you for the moment you realize you’re going to raise your child alone. The fear, the uncertainty, and the strength it takes to keep going are things many single mothers quietly carry every day. This is what people don’t talk about when they talk about single motherhood.

Becoming a mother was never something I imagined I would face alone. But halfway through my pregnancy, reality set in — the support I thought would be there wasn’t coming. This is the story of how becoming a single mom changed my life and the strength I discovered along the way.

The Girl You Think You Know... They see the quiet woman in her 30s. They see the "mom," the survivor, the one who stays silent when the world judges her past. They think they know my story because they’ve seen my struggle. They have no idea. Behind these quiet eyes is a fire that’s been burning since I was a girl getting into "trouble" the world wasn't ready for. My life has been a storm of high stakes and deep longings—and now, I’m letting you in on the secrets I’ve kept locked away. I’m at my peak, and my fantasies are louder than the whispers of the people who don't understand me. When the world feels cold and the bed feels too empty, I escape into the heat. I write the tension, the touch, and the "happily-ever-afters" that real life tried to steal from me. I’ve lived through the dark. Now, come see how I play in the light.

Week 3 in the Good Lord Deliver Us series about the Great Litany as Survival Guide for the Via Media in Exile. Lent eventually stops being symbolic and becomes real. By Week Three, the wilderness strips away our illusions of control and leaves us facing the ancient question rising from every displaced people: Is the Lord among us or not? This week’s movement in the Great Litany—the obsecrations—teaches the via media how to survive exile by letting go of outcomes and grounding hope in what God has already done. Through water from the rock, the warning of Psalm 95, Paul’s stubborn logic of hope, and the Samaritan woman’s encounter with living water, we learn the discipline of holy indifference: releasing our grip on the future and trusting the One who meets us in the wilderness. Lent invites us to loosen our buckets, relinquish our strategies, and pray with honesty: Good Lord, deliver us.

Spending time with Atheists lol On Quora, I have a lot of back and forth with atheists. Here is one example. I received this email in my Gmail account, which said. Mary Gentle commented on your answer to: "Why do atheists insist that atheism is not an ideology?" She had said, “I think you’d have to expand on 'certain views of meaning' to get anywhere near an ideology. What you describe so far fits apatheism just as well.” Then I responded to Mary, "That is a fair pushback." Mere lack of belief by itself is not yet a full ideology. I agree that apatheism can also sit at that minimal level, where a person simply does not care much about the God question.

Borrowed Breath explores the overwhelming experience of longing for someone’s love and how that desire can slowly consume a person’s thoughts and identity. What begins as a quiet hope for connection gradually grows heavier, creating a suffocating feeling where every thought circles back to the same need: to be wanted. Through reflective imagery and emotional perspective, this piece invites readers to understand how deeply the human need for love and validation can affect someone, especially when that love feels distant or uncertain.
