“But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over th...
In the memory, I am on a motorbike. I had been in Uganda for three months, and I quickly learned my way around the small town I would call home for the next two years. It is the rainy season, so the breeze against my face as we ride is cool and misty. The red clay beneath the tires is damp and slippery. I feel the bike skid a few times when we round corners and avoid deep potholes, which are filled with water from the storm the night before. The driver is wearing a heavy parka and a navy blue beanie. Even in the rainy season it is 75 degrees...
“Like seriously look how cute he is.” “Ooo what’s his name?” “Kyle!” “Last name?” “Lemme ask. He knows Jared!” “How??” “He said he played against him in soccer one time. He goes to Kennedy.” “No way! You should ask him if he knows Daniel Kay.” “I wonder if he knows Daniel Kay.” “Lolol jinx” “Oh okay he said he’s heard of Daniel but he’s actually a couple years older so he doesn’t know him super well.” “Gotcha” “Wait lemme send you the first TikTok I saw of his. It’s so funny.” “Did YOU message him??” “No I j...
It was seven in the evening on April fourteenth. It was raining outside. I stood staring at a yellow sculpture the size of my refrigerator, resembling a refrigerator. I would have thought it was a refrigerator had the golden plaque underneath not read “The Sun.” And yet, somehow, staring at “The Sun,” I still knew it was raining outside. There was a woman on the opposite side of the sculpture. She wore small glasses. Her cheekbones seemed to protrude higher than the bottom rim. Her hands were extended towards the textured paint of the...
Del Rio was the first place we lived after getting married. It was Paul's first assignment in the Air Force, meaning it was my first assignment as an Air Force wife. We had a small backyard wedding with just our immediate families and one aunt and two grandmas. Then we packed up the U-Haul and started the five day trek from Virginia to Texas. We spent the first two days in Charleston, South Carolina. We called it our “mini-moon.” We had sex a few times and ate a lot of really good ice cream. Our next stop was Pensacola, Florida, wher...

Mom looks more tense than usual. Her forehead is sweating because she is carrying about six paper bags full of groceries, and although the boy never saw her do it, he was convinced she could open the door with just her toes. How else could she have her arms completely full and her keys tucked deep in her purse and still manage to open the door? She never calls for help. When he hears their front gate squeak, he always stands at attention by the door in case she calls, but she never calls. One of the bags slips from her arms as she’s squ...
