For those of you who are interested, here is another small list of suffragist tidbits. 1. The first legal woman voter in Colonial America was Lydia Chapin.

Sarah Palin redux
There are times when I have to fight certain smug feelings that come over me. This is one of those times, and it has to do with Gov. Sarah Palin. During the campaign, there were criticisms of Gov. Sarah Palin that were truly sexist. Does her hairdo really matter? Does her pregnant daughter mean that […]

At this time of the morning, gay marriage has been turned down in several states and looks to actually be turned down in California by a slim majority. Gay adoption has been turned down in one state.

Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost 2008
The Scriptures for today were Galatians 1:1-20 and Luke 16:19-31. I, for one, am glad that the Church put those two Scriptures together.
