Uncategorized Go Places You’ve Dreamed of I have been working and playing hockey for six years now and I’m trying to qualify for some international tournaments in the future to represent Canada. The officer is a tall man with a well defined jaw and full beard. His white T-shirt, long sleeves and baseball cap are all reflective of his service. He […] Written by jack121400 September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Uncategorized Penn State, my final loss of faith I’m 31, an Iraq war veteran, a Penn State graduate, a Catholic, a native of State College, acquaintance of Jerry Sandusky’s, and a product of his Second Mile foundation. And I have fully lost faith in the leadership of my parents’ generation. I was never harmed by Sandusky, but I could have been. When I was […] Written by Guest Voices November 11, 2011June 28, 2020 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Again and Again: A Song for Lent For over a year, we (The Many) had been reflecting on this line that one of our members Lenora had written, “Why are things so broken.” It’s a tough question. An emotional question. It seemed like the genesis of a great song, but we were stuck. Then a few months ago we had an invitation […] Written by Red Letter Christians February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Mixed Blessing and the Experience of Double Minorities “Daughter! You are Nepali! That is all,” is a refrain that Binsa hears often. She is under a lot of pressure: to marry, to bear children, to “prove” her worth as a woman. Her Zimbabwean roots are something to be hidden; her family wants her to identify as solely South Asian and to emphasize her […] Written by Red Letter Christians February 26, 2021February 26, 2021 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

What Does It Mean To Be Disembodied? What does it mean to be disembodied? Is it disconnection from community? From true friendship? From purpose in life? Is it the endless cycle of diet culture that demands we shrink our flesh, cut ourselves down to size, make ourselves worthy in someone else’s eyes? Is it what happens when we are traumatized and victimized, […] Written by Red Letter Christians March 1, 2021March 1, 2021 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

So for example, we worry that if our loved one dies, and we have no close family, that we will be alone, not just in the sense of not having someone to offer support, especially in old […] Written by Ronald Hirsch February 28, 2021February 28, 2021 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
