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.

Ex-gay not so ex
The evidnce seems clear to me. More than one ex-gay leader has not been an ex-gay. One of the recent instances is that of Michael Johnston of publicity campaign fame. I sorrow more for the years he's spent in denial of who he is than for the publicity surrounding his having sex with men. And the biggest problem is that he didn't reveal his HIV status. There's an excuse for being in denial about your sexual orientation, but no excuse for putting other people at risk.
