I've made small steps already this year, but Lent is the time when I'm planning to make larger and more permanent improvements in a few areas of my life.<br /><br />Pax tecum!GFNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02003166578358673587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-89661239016947365572015-02-17T17:55:29.364-07:002015-02-17T17:55:29.364-07:00Good to know he's behind bars.Good to know he's behind bars.

Most (if not all) of my Lenten posts will be spiritual in nature, hoping to build us all up in holiness! :) See you after Easter!Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-43328730880810833832015-02-17T10:42:17.965-07:002015-02-17T10:42:17.965-07:00Priscilla, believe me, we didn't stay long at ...Priscilla, believe me, we didn't stay long at the <i>Republic</i> (and we actually only got paid a very small stipend for each column, and we never actually went to the <i>Republic</i> building, except once to get our picture taken for the column). After about two years, we resigned. Our pieces were being edited so badly, and shortened so much (even after we cut them back ourselves, way under the word count they asked for), that our own ideas were distorted, made to look more "extreme" and sometimes even unrecognizable. Were they doing this on purpose, to force us out? I can only speculate. But we simply couldn't have our names and photos on the columns anymore and keep our integrity. I learned a bit about journalism back then, with this experience. I won't even read the <i>Republic</i> anymore. It's just as bad if not worse than when we were writing.

People like that don't see women as human beings, only objects for exploitation. <br /><br />What is surprising is that you were employed by The Republic. This is the publication of Benson, Montini et.al.. Times have changed in 20 years.

May it light a holy fire for the battles that are beginning ... or even for your next gym sesh- ha:<br /><br />I will beat her.<br />I will train harder.<br />I will eat cleaner.<br />I know her weaknesses.<br />I know her strengths.<br />I've lost to her before.<br />But not this time.<br />She is going down.<br />I have the advantage<br />because I know her well.<br />She is the Old Me.<br />- B. Pfiester<br /><br />Might as well add, "I will pray more", "I will sin less". yeahboss<br />Let the Lenten battles commence. Catch you on the flip-side of (hopefully) increased holiness!Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.com
