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.

A muslim in congress.
A muslim is elected to congress. I'm pleased. Freedom of religion means just that - freedom of religion. But some see this as the beginning of the end. For more information go to Rapture Ready. I've always thought that if our faith was worth anything we didn't need to worry about other religions, evidently I'm wrong. The worries I'm hearing seem a little bit like those that came when we elected a Roman Catholic as president of the U.S.A. The question I have is - do we take our civil liberties seriously or not? If they're just paid lip service then they're worth nothing. We have to stand up and be counted in suport of those who do not worship the way we do so that we can have freedom to worship the way we choose.
