I struggle sometimes with the old testament, specifically as it relates to women. I mean, the Hebrew law treats women as property….because they were. I think Bathseba gets a bad wrap as a vixen.

Then an opportunity to write fiction for my friend Jamie’s blog. So here is me, trying to work through it all.

were made for me. I need to explain about the boxes I’ve been put in and the
pieces of my story that don’t fit on a felt board. It isn’t as simple as all
that.
