      <image:title>Blog - Hooked Up to Grace: What IV Antibiotics Taught Me About God - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Antibiotics are hard on the body, and this bruise is proof of what IV vancomycin did to my vein after days of treatment. It hurt, it burned, and it left a mark, but it was part of the fight to stop a four-bacteria infection and save my foot.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>St. John of the Cross, attributed to Francisco de Zurbarán, 1656. Shown in the Carmelite habit and holding the crucifix, St. John is remembered as a mystic, poet, reformer, and Doctor of the Church whose writings gave enduring theological language to suffering, purification, darkness, and the soul’s longing for union with God (Wikimedia Commons, n.d.).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mrs. Dalloway cover First-edition cover of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, published in 1925, with cover art by Vanessa Bell. Like the novel itself, the image reflects the artistic world of modernism, where beauty, interior life, memory, and social performance meet on the page (Bell, 1925).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Virginia Woolf, photographed by George Charles Beresford in 1902. This image captures Woolf as a young woman, long before her modernist fiction would reshape how readers understood memory, illness, consciousness, and the inner life(Beresford, 1902).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Salt may look simple, but it has always carried meaning, cleansing, preservation, healing, and faith. In my wound care journey, this image reminds me that even ordinary things can become instruments of grace when God uses them to help draw out what does not belong and make room for healing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In this image from Inferno, Dante grasps Bocca by the hair, forcing a confrontation with betrayal, truth, and moral accountability. For a reflection on discernment, the scene reminds us that the spiritual journey is not only about finding light, but also about facing the parts of ourselves and the world that must be named before we can move closer to God.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - When the Prayer Sounds Like an Aria: Vissi d’arte and the Dark Night of the Soul - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This photograph feels like the place I am standing in right now, somewhere between shadow and hope, silence and survival. The faceless figures remind me of how suffering can strip life down until you barely recognize yourself, yet the light still falls across them, quietly insisting that beauty has not disappeared. Art has become one of the ways I speak when I do not have the words, a way to hold grief, faith, fear, and hope in the same frame. Even in the darkness, I am still creating, still feeling, still searching for the light.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Beneath the moss-draped branches of Salem Black River Church in Mayesville, South Carolina, history and holiness seem to rest together. In this quiet place, the old brick walls, white columns, and filtered light remind me that sacred spaces do not simply preserve the past, they invite us to be still long enough to hear God speaking</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - When God Spoke Through the Lens - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Framed by magnolia leaves, the stonework and sacred glass of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Columbia, South Carolina, rise like a quiet prayer. In this image, architecture becomes more than structure, it becomes invitation, calling the eye upward and the soul inward toward stillness, beauty, and God.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Figure 1 St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Edith Stein, ca. 1938–1939. This photograph, often described as a passport photo, was taken before Stein moved from Cologne to Echt in the Netherlands. Stein was a philosopher, Discalced Carmelite nun, martyr, and saint whose life continues to shape my understanding of faith, scholarship, suffering, and vocation. Note. Photograph from Wikimedia Commons (n.d.).</image:caption>
