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.

Why civil recognition matters
Dispatches from the Culture Wars linked me to this article from Pam's House Blend. Warning there is more profanity than I'd use, but.... it's a good illustration of why civil recognition matters. There are too many examples of having their legal documents and wishes ignored for gay men, lesbians, bisexual and transgendered people to be comfortable until there is civil recognition of the marriages and lifetime commitments that are already happening and have happened since the beginning of, well...., marriage.
