My dear Catholic Brother and Sisters, we need to have a little pow wow. And I’m going to hold the talking stick for a moment, if you don’t mind.
Caitlyn Jenner and the Case for "Siya"
As I started writing about h… Jenner… I found myself pausing at several H’s, having minor panic attacks trying to decide which gender-specific pronoun to use. Him? Her? H-h-h-h…
Enter: Thaddeus (A Birth Story by Christina Kleehammer)
This is what we call grace. It’s not always the beauty that you expect, but it is beautiful in its own right.
American Poverty: How the Homeless Feed the Rich
"It is too easy simply to talk or concern ourselves with the poor who are far away. It is much harder and, perhaps, more challenging to turn our attention and concern toward the poor who live right next door to us."
Conversion Story Cliff Notes: How Christina Kleehammer Became Catholic
This isn’t the first time I’ve told this story, but it is the first time I’ve attempted to write it down. It’s the answer to a question I get asked a lot by people who have known me well in the past, and people who are just getting to know me now.

“Oh that’s cool!”
“Yeah!”
“Did you tell him to stay away from little boys?”

Catholic Sexy: The HHS Mandate Issue From a Female Catholic Perspective
There is a lot of misconception and liberal commentary talking about how the Church, run by a bunch of men, is trying to control women and isn't thinking about our health. So here is some valid perspective I'd like to add to the dialogue.
Beautifully Tacky
I had a moment during Mass yesterday when I was staring up at the high, arched ceiling of the ornate sanctuary trying to decide if I thought it beautiful or tacky (often a fine line) and having the profound and amusing thought/prayer of, "What am I doing in a Catholic Church? ...in Columbus, Georgia? I did not see this coming."
