As a published author/teacher, I draw on those experiences in my writing and use satire to introduce spiritual concepts through a contemporary political lens.

What Do Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Supreme Court Have in Common?
The other day a couple of the people who represent the Jehovah’s Witness door-knockers and paper propaganda distribution detail stopped by to talk at me. I don’t mind that they come visit because they are well-meaning and what they never consider is entertaining to explore with them. They’re always concerned for my spiritual health and well-being but I can never help but notice they are infatuated with the actual words they read. They like them words a bunch, but they don’t care for the abstractions the words represent.

Ain’t Nobody’s Business if You Do
There’s been something in the news that has been wondering me mightily for a few days now. I can kind of understand the extreme right-wing anti-abortion segment of the population from the point of view that they think they are morally obligated to mind someone else’s business, just not their own. I can even kind of understand why they would think abortion is a sin. But then something else keeps pushing into those thoughts. Why would anyone want to control contraception? What would be the motivation? Then another thought pushes in. Why would the state, any state, want to monitor pregnancies? I don’t know that I have any answers, but I have a few observations which might aid someone else in finding answers for themselves.
