Gayle

Gayle was the Priest at the first Episcopal Church I attended on a regular basis. She was also the priest that I went through my confirmation with. She helped me see that God does not hold grudges. At the time I was in a low spiritual spot and would not take communion and she said “if you go to a guests house and they prepare a meal don’t you think it would be rude to not eat”. She made spiritual things seem easy to understand. She was and I am sure she still is a great Priest. Her sermons made me sit up and take notice as I always learned something from them. So to her I say thank you for leading me back to God. Thank you for being there when I needed guidance and leadership.

Life Interupted

As those of you who have bothered to read my blog you probably noticed that I did not finish my women series. I do plan on finishing. In fact it is very important to me that I finish. I just had life get in the way right now. March 19 th my mother died. I have not been able to write about that or anything so far. The last month has been very hard for me and I do want to get on with life and know that I will, it’s just I don’t do well with emotional things. Maybe I will try and write a little a day, or at least try. For now this is the best I can do as I go through my grief.

New Life

Have you ever noticed that new love is like new life. With new love comes the feel of adventure and excitement in all that is around you. You find you have no time for the old things and instead want to spend every waking hour with this new creature in your life. Sometimes it is just like in the books and films about love. Everything around you seems good and right. I say all this and think well maybe thats how it is for me. Maybe I am the only one that sees life as one big spring season. Like the feelings inside you that are like new blossoms on the long dead tree or the new flowers opening their petals to the warm sun. Even though life is great and grand and all new it has its down side. For each person that downside is different and with each relationship its different. Sometimes its the lack of sleep because of being with or talking to the person all the time. Sometimes its the fact that you lose yourself by becoming so absorbed with this new creature. And sometimes its even the fa...

Just answer me this?

Here I go with todays issue. I write knowing no one is reading but do I care? Well yes of course I do. But I trudge on. So today in the Blogs I follow one caught my eye. Fiministe reported about a rapist on the UCONN campus. In this story they say that the guy raped an alumna who decided to report it to the campus athorities instead of the local police. The young man confessed to the crime and his punishment by the school was "deferred suspension". Now I don't want to appear as though I think his punishment was fair because I don't. However, why would she not go to the police. The article alluded to the fact that people will go this route to save from going through the stress of the legal system. Having been raped myself I don't understand. It does upset me that this guy has his slap on the wrist and is free to go and rape again, and you know he will. But I am just as upset with the victim for not telling the correct authorities. I am upset with the school bec...
