The Profound Privilege of Suffering

June 10, 2011 – 1:56 pm

Tweet Wow. I’m realizing in this moment that it has been almost two months since my last confession, er, post (raised Roman Catholic). By now many of you have figured out why I’ve been away: I’ve been growing two human beings in my belly. That’s right… after all that, we did it! Despite that fact […]

May 11, 2010 – 10:35 am

Tweet By Guest blogger, Dayna Reader I grew up watching the kind of movies in which couples met, fell in love and lived happily ever after. Love was portrayed as this big, magical feeling; it was out there waiting, you just had to find it and snap it up, and life would be great. I […]
