  • Lent 2022, Day 2: No, Kiki, you don’t have to give up anything.

    After re-reading my first paragraph, I’m thinking I should give up using SAT words for the rest of this Lenten series.

  • Lent 2022: Ash Wednesday.

    It’s that time of year again, when millions of Christians worldwide commit to 40 days of fasting, prayer, tithing, and reflection. It’s also time for me to commit to being a regular blogger. So join me, won’t you, as I prepare for Easter, one day and post, at a time.

  • 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 35: You may just have a problem with this post.

    Put down your pitchforks and calm your Twitter fingers. Lil Nas X’s new music video is not a sign of the Apocalypse.
    (But it may be a sign of the latest Moral Panic.)

  • Lent 2021/ Flashback Friday: The Assassination of Martin Luther King’s Mother.

    We’re flashing back this Lenten Friday to 1974 when MLK’s mom was shot down while playing the organ one summer Sunday morning.

Reviews

"... 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


"Are you really bored or something?"

Joscelyne, my sister


"Pretty f****ing intense."

Reader Brooke Farmer, on this entry.
