In last Tuesday’s elections, Republicans regained governorships of Virginia and New Jersey. My right-wing friend reliably shot off an e-mail crowing that the “love fest” for Obama was over. My friend’s remark troubles me, because he’s right. Obama has been in office for eleven months and all the talk is about how he’s failed to fix the economic crisis. It...

My name is Meg and I am Lesbian, Christian and see no conflict between my orientation and my faith. I am perhaps not what you might call an orthodox Christian and these days align myself more with Christian Spiritualism than with evangelical Christians, but I love God and believe in Him and do my best to love all his people. I am passionate about writing, and about using the words I write to...

It does not matter how I knew, what I felt. It does not matter what tests they ran. Sat at another handsome wooden table, surrounded by light boards, white coats with curly embroidered names. My physical faults plastered to the walls, literally. Wonder if you can pick out my psychic flaws in the black and white, too. I heard what I needed to hear. Shut my eyes. Felt sun on my...

I've recently concluded that the only worthwhile activity that a human being can engage in is smiling, and, by extension, laughing.  What's more, there is no rational reason to ever not be smiling or laughing, and that smiling and laughing are always possible. We've been misled. What's worse, we misled ourselves.  Convinced that smiling is the province of happiness, of glee, of...

  In a country where men and women fought for our freedom of religion - and where it is understood that we are innocent until proven guilty, it is distressing to see how so many are willing to immediately assume that Maj. Hasan, an American-born man, is a terrorist because of his religion. Since 9/11 - it is almost always assumed that a Muslim MUST be a terrorist and...

  An Army psychiatrist opened fire Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 12 people and wounding 30 others before being shot to death, officials told NBC News. Eleven of the victims died at the scene, military officials said. A 12th died later at a hospital, NBC station KCEN-TV of Waco reported. NBC News’ Pete Williams reported that U.S. officials identified the gunman as Maj....

  I've never really seen myself as being a very courageous individual. I am an innately quiet person, not the type to raise a fuss or cause a stir. More often than not I shy away from confrontation. I rarely rush head-on into anything. It seems to me that deep inside I am almost always plagued by feelings of doubt, insecurity, anxiety, and fear...where is the courage in any of those...

Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch her sleeping She's lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way To show her every day That...
