Fundamentalism at the Equality Ride?

I really love Susan. She comes from a fundamentalist evangelical background and started to feel out of place in heterosexuality in high school. Being a Christian she felt like she needed to repress, that this was her “thorn in the flesh” moment. She did this for years, eventually moving here to plant a church. But [...]

hi, I’m your baby.

Yesterday we got our first shots of baby Flo-Bix. It was pretty amazing to see that something was actually going on inside me and that I am indeed not just getting fat. It looks like we have a little yogi. I was able to identify “downward facing dog” (above) and “child’s pose.” We also got [...]

Reading Resurrection with the Tlingit

-Baby had a [...]

This is my last [...]

things they don’t tell you about pregnancy

I should really be writing my Christology midterm.
Instead I bring you a list of things they never tell you about pregnancy.
1) You are actually two more weeks pregnant than your “weeks pregnant.” So get this. The40 weeks of pregnancy are calculated not from the date of conception but from TWO WEEKS BEFORE. I was technically [...]

Week 15: To test or not to test. Is it a question?

Last night I looked in the mirror and thought, “whoa! Where did that belly come from!?”
Looks like Baby Flo-Bix is starting to flesh out a bit. We’re up to a fetus the size of an apple floating around in there. I still cannot get over the strangeness of carrying around a four inch creature wherever [...]
