“Muscle relaxers, Tylenol, and physical therapy,” the neurologist said. At 32, I was faced with two options: living in pain every day or living on medication every day. I didn’t like either option, to be honest. And to be even more honest, I don’t like that my body seems to only fall apart.  Between chronic […]

Our Broken Bodies in Light of Redemption

Don’t Tear Your Own Home Down

By Maggie Combs

Resisting the Lure of Self-Sufficiency

She awakes to a tiny wail. Disoriented, she makes her way to the nursery for the third time that night. After another sleepy feeding, she hears her other children begin to chatter in their rooms.
