I’m kinda nuts over technology. The fusion of the internet, computers, blogging, photography, and digital imaging just leave me happy as hotcakes. So you can imagine my delight when I log into my email account which I have with GMAIL and see that there is now an added feature: video chatting. That’s right! When you […]

This past weekend, Nick’s parents, Ron and Kay, were in town and the Cleveland weather grandly welcomed them to the northeast region of the Buckeye State.

You’ll find that people are much more accepting of children being explosive than adults. The expectations for adults is that we should be even, controlled, and mature. That’s not what […]
Emerging, A Feminist Faith
What does it mean to be a feminist of faith? Specifically, what does it mean to be a Catholic feminist? Is this a living contradiction?
