Blinded by Eternity
Faith, Eternity, and Justice I’ve recently been struck by how much the church has been silent over the last few weeks. In fact the only buzz within conservative churches right now is that a Minnesota church was that “anti-ICE agitators stormed a church in Minneapolis” (Direct quote from fox news). I’d argue that it’s a lot…

The Shred Box
CW: Death of a child, Miscarriage Recently I was talking with my spouse, and I realized that I had completely erased a traumatic event that happened early in our marriage.

Nothing Changes, Everything Changes
