The fact that our justice system is still based on the old ages when we used to settle things in weaponized combat, except now it depends on who has the better lawyers. We think we have gotten better, but we really haven’t. We’ve just gotten more subtle. People blame the lawyers, but lawyers need to […]
Click the Frog to add your voice. I know what it’s like to lose someone. It’s that moment when you pick up the phone to ask your dad for stupid advice you would have ignored when you were younger. Or, you want to go for a walk, but the person you really want to walk […]
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows […]
Continuing on my last sci-fi related tirade, I found myself looking for a version of the Harkness Test as an example of a sign that you know Catholic moral teaching on sex is bad. You know it is bad when possibly the second worst teaching I’ve seen is not quite as bad. Also, it does […]
I keep trying to think how to phrase my “nuanced” feelings on the pro-life, anti-abortion, pro-choice debates. This is not just a metaphor. I feel at some bone-deep level like I want to blame my ideological archrivals the Com majors for this, and for global warming and the extinction of the dinosaurs. Communications majors will […]
Tap the frog to join the fun! “Oh it’s that boring show again. Mommy, can’t you change the channel?” Monica has to fight back a laugh. “It’s not a show. It’s the news.” “What is news?” “It tells us what’s going on in the world.” She turns up the volume to hear the stock market […]
1 Corinthians 7 I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed […]
I live very close to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, comfortably in the suburbs, but I have many friends/acquaintances/former coworkers who work or live in or near the capitol complex. There may be riots there this weekend because of the presidential inauguration. Because the world didn’t have enough problems already. I know. Plus, no one has sent us […]
It’s been an interesting week for So many reasons. One of the most interesting has been a conversation I had on CPTSD and mental health. It is a medical fact that trauma shapes the brain. I know that, for example, because I was abused repeatedly in my single digit years, I have trauma that will […]
JUST FOR FUN CLICK THE FROG “Why do humans keep looking at me like that?” Sammy bent out of shape in order to peer at his friend before snapping back into his paperclip persona. “If you keep moving around, sooner or later they notice.” Meanwhile, Molly grabs the pen she was looking for and sticks […]
