This week on NPR someone referred to Trump as the soon to be 'leader of the free world.' I found this stunningly arrogant on so many levels.

This country has become increasingly uncivil, and uninformed.

Fundamentalist Christians have for some time insisted that the decline in the traditional Mainline Churches – (United Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran (ELCA), to name a few – is due to the 'liberal' leanings of those churches; to our lack of commitment to biblical fundamentals.

However, the church, not only can, it should, take a stand on political issues: Civil rights, discrimination, how we treat the poor, homeless an hungry, and many other issues.

The Presidential Primary race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is, allegedly, pitting women against women.

Why is the woman the one on trial in rape cases?

I find I am asking myself, what would it look like, for me, to be less driven and more drawn?
