A few words about the name of this blog

I was gonna call it "Ordinary Time--" Pretty, huh? Poetic, humble, religious, but... already taken. Then I thought about "Bad Catholic." I still like that one, but it didn't leave a lot of room for growth, either from me or my church. I also liked "Relapsed Catholic"--also taken. I know that I'll be writing about non-violence and responsibility so I thought maybe "Guilty Bystander, " but a thousand people got there before me. Hope is my daughter's middle name. Mine too, in a more metaphorical way. Really, though, my middle name is Therese.
