Ravi, Rush, and a Ravishing Italian… on Ash Wednesday

This is a tale of a progressive post. It all started with wanting to write about Ravi Zacharias, as up until a few hours or so ago, it was the bloggiest thing to do, at least in certain bloggy circles. And what good am I as a blogger, anyway, if I don’t seize the moment […]

PODCAST: Eryn Eddy thinks you are So Worth Loving. Yes. You!

Happy New-ish Year! Yeah, I know, we’re a month in… but since this is the first official Misfit Podcast of 2021, I’m ok with the idea of milking a fresh start as long as possible.

Happy New Year! It may be a bit premature to say this, seeing how we’re only 3.5 days in as I write, but I’m happy to say, so far so good; the sky and all my faculties still seem to be intact. I know I’m tempting 2021 with such a bold and audacious statement, but […]

It’s a Wonderful, Misfit Christmas…

It’s Christmas morning! And the day is already looking very merry and bright. See for yourself! Whoopee! A White Christmas; love when that happens… (I know, you’d think, being a Buffalo gal, it would be a regular occurrence. But you’d be wrong to think that… which is why I’m so silly excited!) And speaking of […]

Life is short… on this side of eternity anyway.It’s also beautiful. And kind of dangerous.So the question is: how do we live in the tension between preserving life… and living it? There I go, getting all deep on you right off the bat. Enough of this small talk! But as long as we’re here in […]
