This is a difficult blog for me to write and it may be difficult for some to read. I am in the middle of reading one of the most dangerous books ever written: Mein Kampf. On every page I am encountering mixed emotions. I have to stop and take a deep breath before continuing further. Why...

Now we come to the story of Cain and Abel and what a story it is! Cain is Adam and Eve's firstborn; Abel is the younger brother. Cain is a farmer; Abel is a shepherd. One day they decide to bring offerings to God. Cain brings some of the crops and Abel slaughters a fine sheep. But God, for...

Business has been booming lately for the local gun shops. I drive past one on the way to and from therapy and every time I go by it their parking lot is full. In case you don't know what kind of business it is, the sign out front has GUNS in large red letters. Now I've never been in the...

I just can't stop listen to "Du bist sch?n" by LaFee, and it isn't exactly a good song for me. It's more then just a little triggering, perhaps that's why I like it. :unsure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rmIU3b5wlQ I've got some new CDs (Antony and the Johnsons) from Gabriel and I've...

I'm sure you've all seen them: the posters designed to teach spectrum kids how to recognize various emotions. There's one hanging on the wall of the therapy center where I go. Happy, Sad, Loved, Angry, Scared, Shy and so forth. I find them quite interesting because it really is hard to...
The other night at Bible study one of the women shared about how she was getting her grandson (who has just graduated from high school, so he is a young adult) to come to church. He is currently unemployed so she is paying him gas money to come to church--and for every friend he brings he gets...

Well, it seems that the church action may have backfired a little. People were pretty upset about it, not that it had taken place (they all agree the person's behavior was not consistent with church values) but about the way it was handled. They did not think it was necessary to name the...

Today at church, at the end of the service, they invoked Church Discipline on a member. It had to do with the fact that this person had been caught cheating on their spouse and apparently did not intend to change their ways. At any rate it seems this person had not been attending services for...

Last week we went over Genesis Chapter 2, which Pastor explained was simply an expansion of the events in Chapter 1 and not, as one might think, a completely different story. Since he is committed to a literal view of the Bible in which there are no contradictions I was interested to see how he...

Today... to the day, it marks my aspieversary. Exactly a year ago, January 18th 2012 I got my official results in. So that made me wonder what happened after. Or in short; What did the diagnosis actually do for me? I remember that after I got my diagnosis my therapist asked me if and what...

It's really too bad that there is so much controversy over Genesis 1, because I feel that the evangelical insistence on literally interpreting the days of creation has missed the whole point of this chapter. And that is that Genesis is not science, it is not history, it is propaganda. It was...

I have three sons. My youngest is 13. The other two are grown and on thier own. Of course I'm a typical Mom and always remember my kids as my babies, however I don't so much worry about these two older ones as far as their ability to 'make it' in this world. I know they are both inteligent and...

For those of you who have been following my blog, for the past two years I have been attending a small storefront independent Evangelical church even though I consider myself an agnostic. Every Sunday Pastor has made his Come to Jesus speech and every Sunday I walk out just as unredeemed as...

Well, since I was up & useless, I decided to push myself (almost needed a cattle prod!) & get something done. There were some hidden pockets of junk floating around. There were 3 handbags I had that I never ever carry. There was an accumulation of well organized papers BUT none of it was...

A few days ago I wrote about the controversy surrounding a local abortion clinic that had been shut down due to safety and health violations. Now that photos of conditions inside this clinic have been released, one would think that its supporters would step back and say, hey, wait a minute...
