These are the reflections of a Secular Franciscan. I look not only at my own spiritual journey, but also at issues of life, economic and social justice, morality, the arts, and more through the lens of Franciscan Spirituality.

Honestly
After going to Confession, I thought about the fact that I sometimes stretch the truth to make stories interesting. It's one thing if it's obviously just a story, it's another when I'm presenting something as the truth, or I'm making myself look better or another person worse. Too often I go for the laugh or the "clever" comment at the expense of truth or fairness.
I realized that an early post had been less than honest. I went back and revised it.
I need to keep honesty in mind as I write, so that I don't have to go back to revise or apologize.
Pax et bonum
