Heresy in the Heartland: Life at IBLP Headquarters
http://heresyintheheartland.blogspot.com/2014/03/life-at-iblp-headquarters.html
Heresy in the Heartland. Saturday, March 8, 2014. Life at IBLP Headquarters. Oak Brook, Illinois January-July 1999. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.". I had purchased my first pair of navy sweatpants, to wear as pajamas. I remember the snowy Saturday when I wore them outside my room for the first time. I had no plans to leave the house that morning so after I fixed myself breakfast, I sat down at the piano and practiced some hymns- in sweatpants and a turtleneck. Cotton sweatpants, to...

Heresy in the Heartland: Losing the Umbrella
http://heresyintheheartland.blogspot.com/2015/02/losing-umbrella.html
Heresy in the Heartland. Sunday, February 8, 2015. While I was typing up the latest segment. Of our courtship story, my twelve-year-old asked what I was working on. I shared some of the highlights with her and she responded with a look of incredulity. How did your parents make you so afraid? She meant afraid of "getting out from under the umbrella of authority. It was a good question. And then my brain gave me an instant flashback. But, how did that scare you so much? If you want it to for sure then you ...

http://heresyintheheartland.blogspot.com/2015/07/living-life-update.html
Heresy in the Heartland. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Living Life: An Update. Some of you have kindly inquired about my absence from this blog. With Bill Gothard now publicly exposed for the predatory mountebank he is, the Duggar family under media scrutiny, and groups like Homeschoolers Anonymous. Championing every child's right to a non-abusive education, my compulsion to write has greatly diminished. Have been off having adventures and new experiences! I had my first martini. I made a new friend. Chris an...

Heresy in the Heartland: On Growing Up Modest
http://heresyintheheartland.blogspot.com/2013/06/on-growing-up-modest.html
Heresy in the Heartland. Tuesday, June 11, 2013. On Growing Up Modest. My family looked like everyone else when I was little. Mom liked to be comfortable so she wore jeans a lot, but she also sewed her own dresses and liked feminine details like ribbons and lace. Then my parents attended Bill Gothard's seminars. Shorts and jeans. I tried to take it in stride, but I did miss those pink seersucker shorts dreadfully. I thought about them every summer. And speaking of summer, swimsuits became an annual adven...

http://www.theworldaccordingtograce.com/2013/12/an-atheist-moral-victory.html
The world according to me. but who the hell I am to say? Thursday, 12 December 2013. An Atheist Moral Victory. This is dedicated to all of you who are stuck in the non-believing closet… I don't know how any of you manage to contain your rage at this kind of provocation. This incident may be nothing more than a drop in the ocean, but it cheered me on a winter evening last night, and I thought it might be fun to share with you all right before Christmas…. This is paid by the Government, not the company!
