Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

“Something’s eating the cat food in the barn,” my husband mused. Unwilling to feed a freeloader, he borrowed a trail camera and set it up. Eventually, he put the trail cam on his desk in our house, planning to look at the pictures another day.

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

I was strangely excited to schedule my first colonoscopy. Maybe because people told me that the drugs provide an excellent nap (now on the other side, I second this, although the preparation for the procedure is less "excellent").

How am I qualified to advise anyone on how to write funny? Well, I’ve published three collections of humorous essays and another three compilations of whimsical light verse, so I feel I can speak with some authority here when I say that adds up to six books.

Thinking Outside The Box For Experiential Student Learning: Development Of Remote Experiential Learning And Volunteering During The Pandemic, Amy Christopher

Learning Teaching Forum

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, experiential learning for health care professional programs struggled to find clinical rotation sites and provide students in the didactic curricular phase opportunities to apply health education outside of the classroom. Many healthcare sites and community health screening events were prohibited during an extended period of time due to pandemic isolation. As a health educator, exploration of remote experiential learning took creative planning to ensure students were able to apply their medical knowledge in real-life situations, give back to their community according to Marianist charisms, and fulfill healthcare-related volunteer service hour requirements.

What’S Faith Got To Do With It? Young Earth Creationism And The Promise Of Certainty, William Vance Trollinger, Susan L. Trollinger

Intersections of Science and Faith

Contrary to what one might imagine, the proponents of Biblical creationism do not appeal to religious faith.

That is to say, young Earth creationists possess the certainty of truth.

Marian Fellowships and Other Sponsored Research in the Marian Library

One of my favorite places to spend a summer Ohio morning is in our family garden of lavender bee balm and ripening cherry tomatoes. But in the summer of 2024, I deepened my appreciation for gardening in the Marian Library as a Marian Resident Scholar. Each day spent in the reading room, I admired a display of some gorgeous Marian artwork including images of Marian flowers drawn by Brother A. Joseph Barrish, S.M.; a botanical rosary by Katrina Rose Harrington; and a painting of Mary encircled by echinacea and monarch butterflies (inset image) by Ann Marie Coolick and Megan Coonelly. …

Digital Devotion: Marian Shrines Online, Kayla Harris

Books and Book Chapters by University of Dayton Faculty

Using the online components of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, including the website and social media channels, this chapter explores how Marian shrines are occupying digital and e-spaces. This chapter describes these spaces, analyzes the relationship between digital and in-person shrines, and considers how virtual shrines have blurred the line between devotional practice and entertainment. E-shrines raise important questions about the overlap between digital and physical spaces within Catholic practice. Attuned to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this chapter argues that digital devotion has become an increasingly important practice that has pushed Marian shrines …
