Ending a Conversation and Masking
I had to teach myself “tricks” to end conversations. I still use these tricks today. If I’ve ever spoken to you in person, I’ve used one of these “tricks”. Essentially, scripts, to help me figure out the path out of the conversation when I think it’s over.
Right to Privacy: Who We Protect
When I was 18 years old, the local police raided our house without a warrant. We had rushed out of the house during dinner to pick up my mom who had fallen in a hotel bathroom in Pennsylvania while taking my oldest sister on a missions trip. In our rush to travel 14 hours on…

Open Letter: Challenge to Pro-Aborts
So here’s the challenge: Step into the light. If you disagree with us, choose the path of the reformer, embracing thoughtful engagement over revolutionary upheaval. Write articles that respond to ours, address our arguments, and rise above mere pot shots on social media.

Hot Takes Burn
That said, I would be a fool if I didn’t take some responsibility for what happened. “Hot takes” are deliberately designed to incite responses, and if one isn’t surgically precise with those jabs, then they can be applied in ways the author never intended. I’m not a novice. Communication is my area of study. Yet I crafted a provocative statement which wasn’t carefully aimed. I take responsibility for that.
Hey friend! It’s your old email buddy Deanna Gernert. (My last name has changed since then, but that’s neither here nor there.)
I was cleaning out an old email inbox the other day and ended up stumbling across your website.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi! Hope you’re doing well.
Also, on the post… I agree. I think a lot of people use the term “tolerance” as “agreement”. However, in my mind it’s the “agree to disagree” hand in hand with a primary drive of existing peacefully and harmoniously with the individual/group anyway.
Hi Deanna,
Good to hear from you! Did you get married? If so, congratulations! If not, details on the name change! lol
Doing pretty well. I’m actually getting an article of mine published in the Oakland University Post, which is exciting! It’s the first step towards getting more articles published elsewhere.
Hope all is well. Don’t be a stranger!
