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.

The pastor's wife
via Andrew Sullivan and scienceblogs.com comes this little gem. Haggard’s wife is the one at fault. Thinking she had her man trapped into fidelity she let herself go…. Makes me want to stop having anything to do with the organized church. Yet the problem is not whether or not the ‘pastor’s wife’ – and he doesn’t seem to have heard of women pastors who have husbands – but the expectations that he and the rest of the church put on those same spouses.
