A brief presentation of the 1300s Middle English poem and a summary of its meaning- reflections on death as in winter the death of summer, and in life the death that comes for us all. It's not as sad as the summary makes it sound :)

I am offended at these feminist women claiming Christ who perpetuate the myth that all churches are misogyny hatcheries, and every man, woman, and child in them are past, current, or future victims of sexual abuse. No.

IS sexual abuse as rampant as they claim? Are these women doing a service to God, or a disservice to the church? Tune in for an exploration of these matters.

Reading the Creation account this week, and musing on man's insatiable desire to explore it without acknowledging the Creator of it. From the heights of Everest to the depths of the sunken Endurance, to walking on the moon...where is God in all this?
