  • Not goodbye.

    It’s not goodbye. It’s just like she always use to say to us kids before we’d leave for school: “See you later, alligator. After while, crocodile.” And give Joscelyne so many kisses for me.

  • Some Sunday Stuff: Third Week of Advent, 2021.

    I’m full of sorrow because I know I’m losing my mom. Yet, I will continue to choose joy; not fake toxic positivity that denies the reality of the situation or the depth of my heartbreak. No, I’m choosing joy through hope, joy in “faith through Jesus’ love”.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Lent 2020, Day 18: A particular pastor’s perspective on the present problem- COVID-19.

    This is about protecting the vulnerable in our society. This is about being true to who we are as Christians, putting others before ourselves.

    Dreams meet reality. Or, his life, his plans. But it’s all love.

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.


"A great outlet for such a prolific mind and an entertaining mix of spirituality and current events."
