St. Thomas the Apostle Grade School is a prime example of what happens when people never outgrow high school — mean little girls and boys who carry their unchecked generational trauma into adulthood and pass it on like a disease. The bullying that exists here isn’t just among the children; it thrives within the parent community, enabled by silence and wrapped in faux righteousness.

Very often there is some faith-related event going on, mostly weddings; but still, one can find a quiet place to sit in the Church. Mindful of the example of Jesus Christ, God the Son, taking time for communion with God the Father is vital to my spiritual nourishment and enlightenment.
