Manaolana | Christina Capecchi: Oh what a tangled web: rising above Instagram envy
TWENTY SOMETHING Melina Birchem has uploaded 777 images to her Instagram account over the past two years: sushi, Starbucks, her new tattoo, rosary beads, cowboy boots. Sometimes the juxtaposition is jarring. A glowing monstrance, a chilled margarita. A snapshot from waitressing, a prayer journal documenting her consecration to the Blessed Mother. As a freshman at […]
Manaolana | Lisa Gomes: The positive effects of confession
