"Mom, I know the Vermont Inn has been in our family for 4 generations, but I'm meeting with a realtor up here to list it. Ever since Dad died, I can't run it from NYC, especially since I'm about to make partner at the firm." Lifetime movie hilarity on FB: ow.ly/CKyR30mUKMU
"But honey, the Inn was your dad's legacy. And it is scheduled to be the final stop on the Parade of Homes for the town Christmas festival. If you don't light up the Inn for the community, it will be the first time in 56 years the old place will be dark." business.facebook.com/jenhatmaker/po…
"I just can't do it alone, Mom. I am trying the big case this Friday."

"Honey, call Troy."
"Mom, I am not calling Troy. He never even left this town. I am not asking for help from an old high school flame content to run the family hardware store. He never forgave me for going to New York and turning down his proposal all those years ago."
"Plus he is raising his niece. I'll just call his favorite Aunt Patsy. She worked at the Inn for all those years. She'll know what to do." Stay for the comments: business.facebook.com/jenhatmaker/po…

One thing that "fell away" for me these last two years was my tolerance for weird Christian talk. It was my first language & thus entirely familiar, but now it raises the hair on the back of my neck. It all feels coded, a warning signal to keep insiders in and outsiders out.
If you are well-versed enough, it can be strategically employed to ignore the dire pain of people, especially people for whom the sterile language harmed immeasurably. It lacks any tender spirit, any beating heart. Plus it sounds super weird. Why can't Christians talk normal?
Defaulting to a cold recital of a verse in the face of someone's pain or identity or tension? You can miss me with that. None of it sounds like Jesus at all. It is designed to impress, to stay superior, to judge with a clear conscience, but the fruit of is rotten.

With some of the warrior women from ANC, I am going to a humanitarian aid center on the border tomorrow. This suffering, on our watch and at our hands, is more than I can take. I pay attention to how the Holy Spirit moves me, and he is moving me toward this sorrow.
Every Sunday at church just before communion, we read prayer cards written by children in the detention camp, first in Spanish then in English. It shatters me. I want to share some of them with you. Pray for these kids separated from their families. Prepare to love them with us.
This is our second trip down as we determine how we can serve these children, their families, the incoming refugees, the workers on the border, and the communities already caring for them.

I want you to be a part of this, and I will have more to say very soon.

Long talk with my boys this morning about colonization. They were connecting dots: WE were a colony (boo)...who fought for independence (yay)...but not before terrorizing & displacing indigenous people (BOO). Made a list of all the countries & cultures crushed by colonization.
It is so sobering to face our sordid history of abuses. Not one teacher in my life ever suggested anything less than Manifest Destiny as a triumph.
Grateful this morning for my son’s public school history teacher walking her students through the terrors embedded in American history, both here and around the world.

What are the pulp archetypes? Pulp novels are usually written quickly and rely on a formula, but do they use different archetypal characters to other fiction?

Let's take a look at a few...
The Outlaw is a classic pulp archetype: from Dick Turpin onwards lawbreakers have been a staple of the genre. Crime never pays, but it's exciting and trangressive! Some pulp outlaws however are principled...
As Bob Dylan sang "to live outside the law you must be honest." Michel Gourdon's 1915 hero Dr Christopher Syn is a good example. A clergyman turned pirate and smuggler, he starts as a revenger but becomes the moral magistrate of the smuggling gangs of Romney Marsh.
