If You Have to Make a Promise

Last updated on: September 19, 2021 at 7:08 am By Anne Kennedy

I’m over at Stand Firm today. I had a whole bunch of important things to do yesterday so of course I settled down on my sofa with my device and googled, as I do every few weeks, “Rachel Hollis.” The first thing that came up was—and I can’t believe I missed this, I must be slipping—the important news that Dave Hollis is having some sort of new romantic rebound with someone named Heidi Powell. Well, as you know, I do... Read more

Death on a Wednesday: John Shelby Spong and Norm MacDonald

Last updated on: September 16, 2021 at 9:05 am By Anne Kennedy

UPDATE: I’ve corrected this post with the proper spelling of Norm MacDonald’s name. Should have double-checked the first time! I came home last night to discover on the internet that Norm MacDonald had died of cancer at only 61 years old. I’ve always thought he was very funny and, like Matt, would have been willing to listen to him read the phone book if he was so inclined. Of course, someone would have to go find one and explain what... Read more

The Death of Theology Podcast and Links

Last updated on: September 13, 2021 at 9:29 am By Anne Kennedy

It is a humid, sultry day here in the Northeast. I guess it’s good that at least we haven’t had to turn the heat on, so that’s something. This week we’ve done a shortish podcast about the death of John Spong, that famous Episcopal bishop who denied so many tenets of the Christian faith that eventually he ran out of stuff to deny. And yet, he remained a bishop. We talk about why that’s not a good thing and how... Read more

Some Seven Takes

Last updated on: September 10, 2021 at 9:05 am By Anne Kennedy

Oh my word it’s Friday. One I blogged a couple of times at Stand Firm this week and forgot to come over and link it all. Here is Sunday’s post, and yesterday’s, and here is a podcast I did recently with Melanie on the death of pets. It’s been hard to get up the gusto about blogging so I’m trying to shake things up a little. Why don’t I just stop blogging, you may wonder. Well, I have somehow made... Read more

Searching for “Lived Coherence”

Last updated on: September 8, 2021 at 7:37 am By Anne Kennedy

This is super interesting. Here are some money quotes: In the next few years, two women will earn a college degree for every man, if the trend continues, said Douglas Shapiro, executive director of the research center at the National Student Clearinghouse. No reversal is in sight. Women increased their lead over men in college applications for the 2021-22 school year—3,805,978 to 2,815,810—by nearly a percentage point compared with the previous academic year, according to Common Application, a nonprofit that...

We Can’t Understand Very Many Things

Last updated on: September 7, 2021 at 7:53 am By Anne Kennedy

I’m reading Religious Potential of the Child again because, well, it’s been a few years and I’ve found myself trying to tell other people to read it, and it suddenly occurred to me that it would help if I had more of it at my fingertips (this is true about literally everything in my life, tragically). Also, as abortion has roiled itself back into the national “conversation,” I felt like there were some points that Cavalletti makes that bear on... Read more

Last updated on: September 6, 2021 at 9:55 am By Anne Kennedy

It is a bright, sunny Labor Day here in Bing. I have always disliked a whole day going under the title”Labor” because I always hated being in labor. It’s one thing to do a lot of work, which is good, it’s another thing to have to be “in labor” for a hundred hours or whatever, and then give birth to something the size of a pumpkin. I know that’s not what the day is about, but I can’t help but... Read more

7 Takes of Something

Last updated on: September 3, 2021 at 8:43 am By Anne Kennedy

September seems like an over-heavy cargo plane trying to lift off the ground, bumping along the runway, while the flight attendants run back and forth trying to close all the overhead compartments and the passengers don’t listen to a single thing they are saying: One I try not, every year, to be horrified by the first day of school pictures percolating up through my feed beginning in early August. I’m not planning to “start school” until Sept 13 when our... Read more

Tweets for Thursday

Last updated on: September 2, 2021 at 8:05 am By Anne Kennedy

If only Twitter were only about birds. I was going to do books for Thursday, but I haven’t finished any, and we all know that tweeting is more “where it’s at” as they say, so why swim against the current. Here are two bad tweets for your Thursday. The First Tweet You can’t screen for Down syndrome before about 10 weeks, and something like 80% of Down syndrome fetuses are aborted. If red states ban abortion, we could see a... Read more

What A Great Day

Last updated on: September 1, 2021 at 8:58 am By Anne Kennedy

This is a great day. This person to whom I have never been personally introduced is pretty unhappy, which, NGL, makes me pretty happy: It's 12:01 CDT here in Texas. #SCOTUS has not acted. That means #SB8 — the most restrictive abortion law since Roe — is now in effect, and that virtually *all* abortions in Texas after the sixth week of pregnancy (when many women do not even *know* they're pregnant) are illegal. — Steve Vladeck (@steve_vladeck) September 1,...
