So we have a small college in rural Illinois, set up to advance the agenda of a cult, what could possibly go wrong? For part 1, see People with Devotion to a Cause. If we were writing a story, we would need a relatable protagonist who is thrust into a terrifying situation. This should be … Continue reading Bless the Marys, for their Agenda Shall Prevail

reclaiming Reality from Ms. Eddy’s Matrix is an on-going challenge
There is a new Matrix movie coming out this December, and I'm kinda excited about it, so I'm going to re-share an older post from April 2014 because I can. I'll see it after it comes out -- eventually, from the comfort of my living room, and I might even have a few thoughts about … Continue reading reclaiming Reality from Ms. Eddy’s Matrix is an on-going challenge

Reflections on the Prin Bubble
I recently had a series of long chat with a dear friend from my time at Prin. These are some of my thoughts from that. By sharing this, I hope to shed light on Principia the institution, which touts the low student-teacher and student-staff ratios as a reason for attending. Please do not shame the … Continue reading Reflections on the Prin Bubble

Everything is Fine & Other Lies Principians Tell Each Other

Every one of them says "how are you?" And you always have to say "good," even if you're not good. If you say things aren't good, they'll wonder -- aloud -- why you're placing "limits" on yourself or the situation. All things are possible through God and enough prayer.

Five Questions
In the last month or two I've started being more open with some of post-Christian Science friends about my Christian Science upbringing. Often, the people I've shared with have been people who never knew me while I was still "in Science" -- or people who were not quite aware of my background and upbringing. Everyone has … Continue reading Five Questions
