Sanctifying the Computer

Last updated on: December 28, 2020 at 3:55 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

What we need, I think, is not a bifurcation between "real" and "online" life, but an awareness that all life is real life. Some kinds of real life are just more painful than others. Read more

The Story of Dog

Last updated on: December 6, 2020 at 9:08 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

This has not much to do with money or economics. It has something to do with vocation, and quite a lot to do with the common good. Read more

Confessions of an Ex-Rush-Limbaugh Fan Who Eats Tofu: The 2020 Version

Last updated on: November 7, 2020 at 1:22 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

This is my childhood's paradox: we had no fear that asking all the classic theological questions (why do bad things happen to good people? what was the world created for?) could lead to atheism. Our God was large enough for religious doubt. But being the sort of person who would fit in at a New York party? That was religious suicide. Read more

The Summer of the Dryer Ball

Last updated on: September 2, 2020 at 6:11 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

There is no logical, or sacramental, or doctrinal connection between the persistent dryer ball that unaccountably made its way into the Ash Wednesday service and the pandemic that somewhat more accountably made its way into our selves, our souls and bodies, our hearts and minds, our streets and stores, our restaurants and our theaters, and our churches. But there seems to be a metaphorical one. All these long months, I feel like I've had this lost dusty thing in my pocket. Read more

I Cannot Spread Contagion: On Masks, Racism, and Boundaries

Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and American Exceptionalism

Last updated on: July 7, 2020 at 7:55 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

I will readily spend countless hours explaining to other American citizens why other countries do things the way they do them, and why the way other countries do them isn't really so bad. I even have a Ph.D. from Duke, for crying out loud, which is nothing if not an institution dedicated to the production of woke overlords .And down in my heart of hearts, I suddenly discovered that I had a deep-seated patriotic ideological commitment to eating hot dogs with buns.

God is Extravangant

Last updated on: June 30, 2020 at 9:17 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

It's an oft-repeated truism that it's actually people who have very little who give the most away. The story of the widow's mite even gives that truism Biblical support. Lack of money, not piles of it, is what's supposed to produce extravagance. Piles of money is supposed to produce Malfoys. Read more
