I’m mom of two wonderful boys and wife to my loving husband. I love reading, hiking, and the NC mountains. You can find me somewhere in Eastern NC.

I’ve been increasingly pissed off by the rhetoric of autism being talked about like it’s a disease and not simply a way of being a human.

I’ll tell y’all something this morning. I still believe the Lord is good. I still believe in the grace that is chocolate. That as long as there are tomatoes, there is salsa. That birds sing because they know something we don’t. I believe laughter is audible hope. And love is spite to the darkness.

Whether it's the overtly offensive mockery of the R-word or suggestions that disability threatens our collective health and safety, this administration tells an inaccurate story of disability as defect. The language we use—the stories we tell—shape our behavior and policies. Writing for Cognoscenti:

Diplomacy is not the art of the deal.
Allies are not just potential business partners.
War-zones aren’t real estate opportunities.
Holding the line on geopolitical tyranny matters more than acquiring rare earth minerals.

No human leader, no matter how gifted, no matter how silver-tongued, can satisfy our longings. If they say they can, consider it diagnostic.

There may be a bunch of people willing to tell the emperor he’s fully dressed, but the rest of us can speak the truth and refuse to play this game. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we can speak truth in our corner of the world. Don’t let the liars win. Stand on what is true.

Tomorrow is Christ the King Sunday and the last day on the church calendar.
This, we might say, is the feast day that most tempts to church to misappropriate divine kingship or to arrogate to itself royal powers that belong only to Christ himself.
And so we pray...
