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.

Science, Magic and Psychics
James Randi and a psychic together - lots of room for talking past each other. Dispatches from the Culture Wars has the transcript and an analysis. Frankly I don't want to know the future. I don't want to anticipate the bad things and want to be surprised by the good. Yet even more than that I have a distaste for those who prey on people worrying about and missing those who have died. It really is strange (or more than that pointed) that this psychic can't find out where the million dollars is that Randi has set aside for anyone who can meet his challenge.
