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.

Minority report
I've always thought that abstinence education ignores the reality of sexual activity. It seems I'm right. I'm part of a minority that has not had premarital sex. But somewhere around 90 - 95% of the population has had premarital sex according to a recent survey. It's perfectly true that one doesn't catch sexually transmitted diseases if one is abstinent - though some sexual practices that don't actually involve penetration can transmit diseases - but irrelevant since whatever the scare tactics used people just plain end up having sex with each other.
