Thomas Cole referred me to this article and I thought it was interesting. I like hearing other women’s struggles with the gender inequality that is often found in Christian culture. Sometimes I feel crazy so it’s nice to feel some camaraderie here.

We saw The Iron Lady today. I think we were the only people under 50 years old in the theater… but that may have been because we saw it at 1pm. Obviously, Meryl Streep was brilliant and I...
With.
With is a novel by Donald Harrington that I had the privilege of reading over my gloriously chaotic holiday break. I am so astounded by his creativity. It blew my mind.

She never ceases to amaze. Seriously.
