having eyes to see: why spiritual abuse is on the rise

having eyes to see: why spiritual abuse is on the rise

There’s been a lot of talk lately about “spiritual abuse” in the Church. In truth, these conversations have been happening for centuries – for example: the prophet Jeremiah called out priests and prophets on the misuse of their authority, Jesus had rather a lot to say to the Pharisees, and then there was that one…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 66): the one that got written on a Sunday

— 1 — Happy Friday Sunday!  My parents were in town Friday evening, and knowing that I would likely be out late (which I was), I meant to write this post mid-week last week to publish on Friday, but (obviously) that didn’t happen.  And Saturday ended up being a pretty full day, as well.  So here…

— 1 — OMG, JEFF GOINS FOLLOWED ME ON TWITTER. (It’s the little things.) — 2 — Also – I am (finally!!) no longer unemployed!  I started training this week for a job as a virtual assistant, and so far it’s been really fun.  There’s a lot to learn, but the challenge is part of the…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
