  • Lent 2020, Day 31: Create and survive.

    “Never, ever think about creating something good. Good is boring.”

    -Jerry Saltz

  • Lent 2020, Day 30: Drown out the aloneness.

    One of my neighbors opened her door a crack to leave, and upon hearing me and Zoe coming down the hall, quickly and rather loudly, slammed it shut. About 30 seconds after we walked past, we heard the door open and close and then the fumble of keys, and finally, quickly paced steps in the opposite direction. Social niceties and rules of engagement are different now.

    I hope your Sunday has treated you well. I’m okay. Praying. Hoping. But okay.

    Once again, I’m turning to my Uncle Curtis for some wise teaching.

  • Lent 2020, Day 27: Flashback Friday: Billy Sunday vs. the Spanish Flu.

    There’s nothing new under the sun. Or behind the pulpit.

  • Lent 2020, Day 26: Laughter is good medicine.

    “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

  • Lent 2020, Day 25: The unknown was my compass.

    Round and round it goes,
    where it stops,
    nobody knows.

  • Lent 2020, Day 24: This is a story about control.

    Me: Got my own mind
    I wanna make my own decisions.
    When it has to do with my life, my life
    I wanna be the one in control.

    Corona: Ha.

  • Lent 2020, Day 23: No one’s immune to problems.

    I felt encouraged by Pastor Rick Warren’s message this weekend dealing with trials in life- including the COVID-19 pandemic- and I hope you will, too.

  • Some Lenten Stuff, Fourth Sunday: I’ve been here before. Sort of.

    Sitting up in my room,
    Back here thinking ’bout the flu
    I must confess,
    I’m a mess
    Wondrin’ what to do.

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.
