The Elijah/Elisha cycle of stories is one part of Scripture to which I continue to return for inspiration in science, religion and social concerns. I get these interests from both my parents - my mom as housewife, feminist, lay pastor and my dad as engineer turned into pastor. I have lived in both city and country. There are things I love about both. I've been a cook, roofer, manager, pastor, musician, and more. Currently I work at a motel and am trying to become a writer.

Torture and the truth
Molly Ivins is a better writer than am I. She has a recent editorial that truthout has placed with some other's on the same subject. In the Christian tradition there is a saying that the seed of the church is the blood of the martyers. Acts has a passage or two about one person being persecuted and because of that the believers spread the word to a number of different places. What's going to happen to the reputation of the U.S.A. when the blood of those tortured is the seed of many stories? I pray for my country.
