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.

Habeas corpus
A few days ago I saw an article at truthout.org. That the Attorney General of the USA was denying that habeas corpus was essential. This bothered me since the traditional understanding of historians is the right to habeus corpus is one of the reasons we fought the Revolutionary War. I'm surprised their hasn't been more of an outcry. If we don't keep the freedoms for which we fought, then why are we fighting now? Oil? Pride? or some other reason?
