Orange soda isn’t something I make a habit of keeping around the house, but with our work at church we’ve been hosting some teenage kid parties at the house. We had leftover ice cream and leftover soda, so Bear came…

The Social Model of Adversity

Atticus had his latest surgery this week, an operation on his knees that one of our friends and CP mentors calls “a right of passage for a CP kid.” We are home from a week in the hospital now, licking…
