Been working on some art, fam. Well, this one is some older art, from the summer vacation I took with my cousin, Hanna, on the western side of the state in the dunes and trees and water and beauty of Lake Michigan. Bam: Te gusta?

Advent Tuesday #2– Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
Back in high school we were instructed to make "five-year" and "ten-year" plans, and I was never any good at those, which is OK, because between five and ten years ago I consecrated myself to Jesus through Mary and effectively ditched any personal plans for myself. Does that sound terrifying? I guess it is. Jumping... Continue Reading →
4 quick, unrelated reflections on Mary
Oh, hai. Even if you don't understand Marian devotion, I have a Marian devotion, and we can talk more about it later if you want, but, for now, I'm just going to jump in with some short things, all disconnected, about Mary.

Didn't learn my lesson, though, and continued to say "yes"! This is me. So I go to confession all, "Hi. I'm really good... Continue Reading →

Holy guacamole, these are fantastic. Please, enjoy. This is the first time I've included a gallery on the blog. If you click... Continue Reading →
Beebee sheeps, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and a coloring “contest”
Mt 18:12-14 Jesus said to his disciples: "What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it... Continue Reading →
