Amen, A-Woman, A-nonbinary

Posted on January 8, 2021 by RC

Posted on January 6, 2021 by RC

Fighting From Freedom

Posted on January 2, 2021 by RC

I have, on more than one occasion, taught a class on dystopian novels. We’ve read Brave New World, 1984, That Hideous Strength and more. I always ask my class “Why do these men, the rulers over these hideous cultures, do … Continue reading →

Coming Up Repentance

Posted on January 1, 2021 by RC

The Sins of Silence

Posted on December 30, 2020 by RC

The Spirit of Christmas Future

Posted on December 26, 2020 by RC

I must have been 10 years old when the anxiety hit me. I sat amidst the crumpled paper when it dawned on me, “It doesn’t get any better than this.” As I surveyed my gifts, however, I knew—the descent had … Continue reading →

The Mis

Posted on December 23, 2020 by RC

The Way in the Manger

Posted on December 18, 2020 by RC
