Sincerity is more important than good taste. It’s great to have both, and often we can; but if we have to choose one or the other, we should choose sincerity every time. Virtue over vibes. https://t.co/yZOFezaeaz My latest for @PillarCatholic

One of my core memories is sitting in the pew at Mass, shriveling up with secondhand embarrassment. This was in the early 80’s, and the old French Canadian pastor, Fr. M, loved to roam around the a…

The other day, I had some time in between dropping off a kid and picking up a used refrigerator. I bought some lunch and ate it, and I still had time. So, with great reluctance, I slogged into the …

My brain just stands there, ruminating slowly over little bits of straw, like an elderly cow who has forgotten how to leave the barn. I’m . . . it’s January. We’re fine.

Sometimes we surprise ourselves and behave better than we expect. Sometimes we shame ourselves and act worse.But I look again at that tottering man, poised so perilously between right and wrong, and I see he is staring at the Lord.

There’s a minor memory from my early days as a mother that I always recall with shame. It was just a little thing. My toddler ran out ahead of me and went through a set of automatic doors, but stum…

Christmas With the Louvin Brothers is a great album,VASTLY better thanthose smarmy 50’s cocktail lounge versions that everyone thinks of as essential Christmas music.Start your kids on this album young, so they’re not jerks about it when they get older! https://t.co/cdyG327AVx

I grew up imagining I might someday be called upon to stand up for my faith against a government that openly hated Christianity.Instead, we’re called to stand up for our Christian faith against a government that openly sins but calls its sins Christianity. https://t.co/t0YnTdBynu

I have this thing where I want everything on a cake to be edible, even if no one in their right mind would actually eat it. But time was passing, so I let yet another pointless personal standard slip through my hands, and made a cake that was part plastic. https://t.co/9JsLN1I1PO
