about JTB and rude truth

My Photo 

JTB is a mother, a sister, a love child, a spouse, a friend, a feminist and a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl Raised in the South), a writer, an eternal student and doctor of philosophy, a theologian-at-large, a c'sofC'er, a believer and a doubter, a resident alien, a cyborg, and an undomesticated goddess.

My husband is Rector at Grace Church in Newark; my 4-and-a-HALF-year-old daughter can empirically verify a hypothesis and tell you all about it. She can also tell you all about how her currently-in-progress new baby sister got made. Our family also includes a toothless kitty cat named for the Babylonian goddess of chaos.

I used to be athletic and perhaps one day will be again. I like to knit and re-read books from my childhood. I can call you crazy in Chinese. Oh, and I'm probably a diagnosable heretic--an occupational hazard. You can see for yourself at rude sermons. I'm also a heretic-for-hire, so check out my CV and my LinkedIn profile.

"go upright and vital and speak the rude truth in all ways"
In the spirit of the above quote from Emerson, "rude truth" is JTB's little personal blog: a miscellany of unpolished ruminations on everything from cyborgs to potty training.
"rude truth" is also pleased to be hosting an ongoing series featuring a number of guest bloggers, whose contributions are archived on the page "Women in the Churches of Christ: Voices and Narratives."
