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.

Dobson and Haggard
Why am I not surprised. A day after signing on to a team that is supposed to council Haggard one of the members resigns. Dobson claims it is due to taking too much on, but.... it is disappointing. I'd hoped that the people for whom he worked for so long would show Haggard support in this his time of trouble. But more support seems to be coming from the gay and lesbian communities which Haggard spoke against. True Christian compassion seems to come those that some consider unable to even be Christian because of their sexual orientation. Hmm. Didn't someone say that he came to save the sinners and the lost, but not the righteous. I'll have to look it up again.
