I actually spent yesterday completely off-line.  I didn’t use the internet even once, although I did use a non-connected laptop to write several articles while sitting in front of the TV with my spouse. It felt pretty good.  Usually I’m adamant that I need to at least check my email, because that is a huge part [...]

Okay, I’m a United Methodist. I have been for about 8 years now. I was raised as a Roman Catholic, though, and I didn’t leave the Catholic Church because of strong theological or philosophical differences. My husband was raised as a United Methodist, and has never been comfortable in a Catholic Mass, so when we [...]
