Every Monday morning (or late Sunday night), I'm greeted with an email entitled "Monday Morning in North GA". It's sent out by one of the head guys in the North GA Conference of the United Methodist Church. Most of you know that I converted to Catholicism about 8 or 9 years ago, and that I worked for the N.

Most people would say that I'm a pretty tolerant person, at least until you step over some line. Some idiots in New York are starting to step over that line. But I want to make sure I explain myself completely on this one ( Read more... )

I watched the uncut version of Dirty Dancing last night. Here's my favorite quote from the whole thing: "Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you ( Read more... )

I just got the latest update on Karson, and it's not good. She's taking an extended leave of absence from her job, a job that she absolutely loves. She's doing this so that she and Jason can spend more time together. I understand that completely. They've been married for right at 6 years, half of which have been spent going in and out of ( Read more... )
