Epiphanies

Here are a few Holy Spirit epiphanies that have changed my life:
"We are blessed in order to be a blessing!"
"Its all about Jesus, not the lost."
"True failure is quitting. True success is obeying Jesus regardless the outcome."
"Sodalities and Modalities are equal expressions of the Church."
"The Engle Scale"

Rememories

My Public School career was from the early 80s to the early 90s. I am just now reckoning with the fact that I am neurodivergent--and have been since I was born.

I personally will be using Mollie Bowman as a guide and model and inspiration. I need direction. Of course I will not be the first one to apply this technique to the ideas of a colonial gaze. This will be the first time that I have re-watched a film while critically reflect...
