  • Lent 2023, Day 3: Stations of the Cross.

    Por la Vía Dolorosa, triste día en Jerusalén
    Los soldados le abrían paso a Jesús
    Mas la gente se acercaba
    Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz

  • Lent 2023: Day 2: Goats & Sheep.

    So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day

    Won’t you be my neighbor?

  • Lent 2021, Day 29: This isn’t the Good News.

    Come along, Friends, as we take a trip back to 2005, to a time when “The Office” was brand new, cell phones weren’t smart, and I heard the worst sermon in my life.

  • Lent 2021, Day 17: All that glitters.

    A gilded cage, wrapped in pearls, diamonds, and gold, watched by billions, and lit by paparazzi lightbulbs is still a cage.

  • Lent 2020, Day 38: The dark night of Jesus’ Soul.

    “We all try to accept with some sort of submission our afflictions when they actually arrive. But the prayer in Gethsemane shows that the preceding anxiety is equally God’s will and equally part of our human destiny. The perfect Man experienced it. And the servant is not greater than the master. We are Christians, not Stoics.”

  • Lent 2020, Day 36: Drown out the annoyance.

    Remember, we ALL are made in God’s image- even those of us who perform renditions of “Stomp!” in cement tap shoes.

"... 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
