Title Varies Slightly

Our homily this past weekend was fascinating, but uncomfortable. Father pointed out that heaven will be a kind of eternal liturgy.
“That’s going to be hard on those of you for whom an hour is now too long to pray,” he said. Ow! I was wondering whether my pastor might have been inspired by the [...]

Leo the Great of A Grain of Wheat has this interesting post about work.
I find connecting my faith to my work extremely difficult. There is, in fact, a Catholic Library Association, but I haven’t found much in its materials that articulates of distinctive features of Catholic librarianship. Is there such a thing as a [...]

Jerry Falwell died in his office today, according to the Liberty University press release.

Much happening and much to think about… hope [...]

This is my post for Blogging Against Disablism Day… a little late, and I’m tired. But it’s here.
I’ve been disdained for many reasons, including my disabilities (visible and invisible).
I’ve been complimented for being such a “brave.” “inspirational,” “special” person.
