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.

Abba Poeman
A brother asked Abba Poemen: "What is a hypocrite?" The old man said to him: "A hypocrite is one who teaches one's neighbor something without making any effort to do it oneself."
John Chryssavgis, "In the Heart of the Desert", p. 6
