Way back when I was a little kid, my mom was a special ed aide at my elementary school. A couple years she worked most closely with one particular teacher; Mrs. P was a special ed teacher who had to have been aware that I – a chronic overachiever who had never heard of a [...]

I really dislike John Hagee’s message of damnation for the world, but when I was younger and subjected to his hour of preaching and self-promotion each Sunday morning before actually going to services and Sunday School at our church, I did enjoy when he had one particular guest preacher: David Ring, an adult with cerebral [...]

Update on my abdomen: Next non-medically trained person who tells me to lay off on the pain pills will get shanked. [And then in a week we'll see how they feel but still tell them to lay off the pain pills.] I’m trying to get offa’them (down from three to two a day: one at [...]

Vacation Bible School: what do you think of it? Page H. Onorato reminded me of it today, brought to my attention by The Lead. My parish is pretty sizable and like any respectable Protestant church in the area, has a big shebang for VBS. I had prepared myself to flatly resist any calls to teach/assist [...]

So I realized next Tuesday may be a bit of a clustermuck. I’m going to have my agnostic-Buddhist aunt at the hospital with my fundamentalist-evangelical Christian mother.

It’s been a while since I have actually observed Father’s Day. If you’re just now tuning in, I had a crappy father growing up, one who walked out on the family on my 19th birthday. One who fought to be relieved of parental responsibility which was seemingly a low priority all along. One who acts [...]

The Lord is risen indeed! ALLELUIA! I’m so glad the Episcopal tradition is made of Easter people, not Good Friday people. Our parish’s celebration of Easter is a refreshing change of pace for me, who is so accustomed to the guilt factor being the lead in any Easter service. Guilt that our sins crucified Jesus. [...]

Gee, three posts in one day – that’s an awfully lot for someone who stayed home sick today and is entertaining the idea of staying home tomorrow too (since I’m not saving up sick days for maternity leave or anything). But really, I just heard from my mom that she and her mom would like [...]
