Me: Claire, what are you doing? [she’d been downstairs alone and quiet for a while. That usually means mischief]
Claire: I was praying.
Me: [pleasantly surprised] Praying about what? [this was probably the first time I’d discovered her praying on her own]
Claire: [matter of factly] I was asking God to let me go to Mammaw & Pappaw’s house soon. God’s thinking about it.

About Christi
I am a single mother with two young daughters who are the world to me. I am a philosophy professor, especially fond of Kierkegaard and Augustine. Presently, I teach as an adjunct at a plethora of colleges in the Houston area, trying to make ends meet.
Creating art brings me immense joy, but only recently have I begun to venture into the arena of making my creations a consumer commodity. I'd rather my work be created as a good in itself, and given to those I love. But necessity breeds invention, they say, and human beings have to eat.
