Not sure if you caught it, but the Arizona memorial service (pep rally) in honor of the Tucson shooting victims was kicked off with a native American blessing by a tribal leader that would have made Pocahontas cry blasphemy. I have listened to a lot of politically correct, new age, bash Christians, blame Bush, and destroy Sarah mumbo jumbo for so long I just assumed I was use to it. But then the Indian spoke. And what should have been a solemn occasion with the token "speckle of religion thrown in to pacify the close minded", was worthy of throwing the money changer table over that held the TV. Not to bother with detail, suffice to say, the event made Baal worship seem acceptable. The so called blessing included praise to "Father Sky, and Mother Earth" as well as several incantations that even the tribal leader himself choked on the nonsense he uttered. We looked at each other, the Preacher and I, because we both new this was an all time low. Even for liberals.
So I decided, at least for now, to do what I have been thinking about, but dreaded the thought of... begin a blog. It has been six years since the Preacher's Wife Morning Show on ZFM aired each weekday morning.
Looking back, the six years, two to three hours a day, of live radio - flew by.
Many have asked if I miss it.
I do.
I am not certain about the future and I know that there are not enough hours in a day to complete all the things I want to do. Join the club PW! - I hear ya. Time will tell if this continues or is just a satisfying way to say, "The sky is not my father, and nobody better ever call this sinful earth my mom!
I don't care if no one reads this and I still don't want to use my real name.
I am the farthest thing from a feminist, if that term even applies today.
I feel no urgency to hold on to my individual identity, after all does not the two became one??
I would never use a hyphen, in my nationality or in my name.
I don't believe it's cool to put down men and as a wife it doesn't make me more important if I do so.
It's true I tried it just to make sure.
Finally, I am sincerely proud to be just some man's wife . . . a preacher's wife.
