Secular Sunday – Some Funny Examples of Purity Culture

What’s your funniest purity culture story? Mine’s when my parents secretly installed Covenant Eyes on our computer. A week later, they confronted me about my “p*rn addiction.” I swore I wasn’t, so they showed me my “explicit searches.” It had one entry: “the barenaked ladies” — Zach W.

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am  – Charlie wakes us up.  Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am  – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea.  Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

Saturday Snap – Tumbleweeds in the Tylenol Aisle

I may write more about my experience at some point (short version: healthcare system in shambles, healthcare workers are amazing!) but for now, I just want to focus […]

What Gives Life Meaning?

It would be interesting to see the results from a similar survey in Canada…

It Finally Got Us! (aka “Do I Have Covid?”)

It’s a very informal sample but through social media posts, talking to work colleagues and other family and friends, I’ve noticed a big increase in the “I’ve avoided it for 2.5 years but it finally got me” reports of people getting Covid. Our family is no exception – after two and a half years where, […]
