Silent Night, Holy Night: Reflections on Mother and Child

December 21, 2015 Leave a Comment

Advent is a season of expectation, hope, and preparation for the miracle of God’s entry into our world as a vulnerable infant. But do we pause often enough to ponder the birth itself? The nativity stories found in our sacred texts tell us little about it, though what we know is Mary was a relatively young woman, she was pregnant at an unexpected Read More

Let’s Get Frank About Faith and Family Planning

November 9, 2015 Leave a Comment

Sex. Religion. Politics. The unholy trinity of impolite conversation, right? So what happens when we talk about all three of the them at the same time?

Relaxation as a Spiritual Discipline

September 15, 2015 Leave a Comment

I have a productivity obsession. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it an addiction, though in describing to a friend how euphoric it feels to check off a bunch of to-dos, he said, “You kind of sound like a junkie.” He may be right. Up until a year ago I didn’t think I had a problem. When I heard experts talk about self-care and meditation and “me” Read More

Welcoming the Cries of a Child

May 18, 2015 Leave a Comment

Have you seen this picture? It's been shared over and over again on my Facebook mama groups after going viral on Imgur a week ago. I'm sure there are critics out there, but all of the comments I've seen are full of praise for this professor who comforted a student's crying baby as he continued to lecture. He's been called a "baby whisperer" and Read More

One Good Thing I Learned in Church: Embrace

April 23, 2015 Leave a Comment

As a contributor to Talking Taboo: American Women Get Frank about Faith, I had the opportunity to guest post for Erin Lane, co-editor of the anthology, in answering the question: what's one good thing you learned in church?   Growing up I never got to be the new kid in class. For some this might sound ideal, but for me it was stifling. I went to Read More
