A group of socially conservative leaders is demanding Huffington Post publisher Arianna Huffington apologize for allowing a column to be published on her website that compares Catholics to pedophiles and attacks communion as a “barbaric ritual.”
In the letter dated Tuesday and obtained first by FoxNews.com, the group — never fans of the online news site — writes that the website,...

And this makes me think that my son instinctively knows something that most of us spend a good chunk of adulthood trying to re-learn.
I’m hinting at a Theology of Falling Well, of course.
If I were writing my fictional doctoral dissertation on the subject, somewhere in Volume 1, I would include...

Good read. Eye-opening. At the ripe age of 27 I’m just now beginning to realize that my parents didn’t fail. In fact, they did pretty damn good. We’ve had some heavy hitters when it comes to shitty life experiences, but I feel capable. I owe it to them.

My youngest son Isaac is eight months old. Last Saturday we discovered he has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. This really, really, sucks.
Below is the post announcing his condition to the world.
