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.

No sympathy
The Republic of T has an article about being less than sympathetic towards the New Life church layoffs. Contributions have dropped after Haggard's departure over lies and sex. I, too, have little sympathy. From the reports I've seen the congregation is working at rooting out the sinners, but not working on the ways that they are complicit in enabling the sin. Until the solid work is done on their own role I see little hope of recovery.
