  • Some Sunday Stuff: First Week of Advent, 2021.

    It’s beginning to look like… *record scratch*… Advent.

    November 28, 2021
  • Lent 2021, Day 36: Muslims, Christians, and a shared truth.

    I never considered that both Muslims and Christians believe this about Good Friday.

  • Lent 2021, Day 30: This is a really bad sermon, too.

    I’ve got another entry for the “Bad Sermons” tag…

  • Lent 2021, Day 19: This is what religion without religion looks like.

    “Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”

    ― Blaise Pascal

  • Lent 2021, Day 18: Very, very, very wrong.

    And just like that, it’s later-latter rain, and a brand new Upper Room, complete with monthly Zoom calls.

  • Lent 2021, Day 14: White light and the visible present.

    Sigh. The sad state of American Evangelical Christianity today, and how it got here.

  • Lent 2021: Ash Wednesday

    Join me, won’t you, as I try, and most likely fail on some days, to blog through this holy season of repentance and meditation.

  • The Quiet Faith of Hank Hill

    “King of the Hill”, which ran from 1997 through 2010, is remembered for a number of things: propane and propane accessories; the fictional but somehow seemingly real Texas city of Arlen; just how “not right” Hank felt his son Bobby was; Peggy’s feet, Cotton’s shins, and Hank’s behind; and how refreshing a cool Alamo was, preferably sipped while standing in the back alley with a group friends and saying “yup” or “I’ll tell you what” as a sign of mutual satisfaction with life.
    One thing that has long stood out to me, however, is Hank’s inherent and strong Christian faith.

  • Lent 2020, Day 27: Flashback Friday: Billy Sunday vs. the Spanish Flu.

    There’s nothing new under the sun. Or behind the pulpit.

  • Lent 2020, Day 20: Get Confident, Stupid!

    Hi, I’m Troy McClure. You might remember me from such self-help films as, “Smoke Yourself Thin” and, “Get Confident, Stupid”.

"... the awesomely gifted Alisha DeFreitas... tells her story of  her brush with the Culture of Death and her refusal to play the world’s game. I love that she gives two well-aimed upraised middle fingers: one to the abortion culture of the Left, and one to the Randian Makers vs. Takers class warriors of the Right. She’s one of my heros."

Mark Shea, author and blogger


"While reading your blog I often sense a certain amount of conviction on your behalf, which makes me wonder why isn’t everyone reading the blogs of a woman who actually “gets it.”

Don, at Minus The Bars


"A curious mix of the sacred and profane...too nice for a run of the mill blog? "

Joe, my brother, author of The Blog of Blogs
