  • Allegedly good christian people.

    I hate using the word "Allegedly" in front of an abusers actions, for not only does it make his actions "questionable" or "suspect", but it more importantly discounts or lowers the truth of the child.  Even IF we have tons… Continue reading

  • Good Men to do Nothing

    Once again, there are stirrings of an alleged sexual abuse within the FALC…I hate that I have to write alleged, but he is innocent, until proven guilty.  He is 'not' to be judge and the church should be kept separate,… Continue reading

  • Control of others.

    I still have leaky borders, where my responsibility leaks out into another's life and I have a hard time being present in mine. I felt burdened and weighed down and had less energy for my world…regardless I headed downstairs to… Continue reading

  • A story of You.

    I had not realized that there is always a second part to our speaking out; and that is the space we bring it to.  We need the person to be open enough in their beliefs to accept what we are… Continue reading
