WomanChrist (5 of 8)
I found myself wondering, in fact, just how much abuse women were supposed to put up with. When was the pain supposed to stop? When the Church changed? I don’t see that happening any time soon, especially considering the Church’s current appalling clerical record. From ignoring and abetting pedophilia by priests, to treating the ordination…
The town hall with Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren
Just got back from another personal first: a town hall meeting with my Congressional representative, Zoe Lofgren, at the Mt. Pleasant High School. She’s a Democrat and has been this area’s Congresswoman since 1995, if I heard her correctly. She mentioned returning home (this area) each week, and she’s got that smooth way of responding…
Expected birthday deliciousness ;)
So as I mentioned yesterday, the birthday dinner included homemade Italian cream sodas, and I promised to share the recipe today, with my notes below it.

How Do We Keep Honesty? (part II)
Parameters of the Experiment What are the real-life situations I’ve been involved in, where the reality of falsehood impacts violently with the potential for honesty? So far I’ve seen two issues, which have appeared repeatedly and in varying forms. One of them got me started on this line of thought, as it was very obvious…
Thanks so much to you both! I’m so thrilled it’s finally all done, completed, and uploaded — WHEW! :)
Also, Ms. M, fair warning: the Methodology is probably skippable, while the Lit Review will be of interest mostly if you’re looking for other similar-subject books to read. The Intro, the actual research chapter, and the Conclusion, though, I hope will be fun and/or intriguing! :-D
Yowza! Fabulous news. I’ve already started to read it and look forward to future convos. Cheers!
Congratulations!
