By Susan Lawrence – You can do it all, have it all, and be it all! At least if you believe all the hype bombarding women in today’s culture. Women have more opportunities today than ever before. Women fought for the right to vote, equal opportunities in sports, and equal
By Marcia Moston – I know she’s around here somewhere, and beautiful as she is, I don’t want to inadvertently stumble on her. Her fat, globular body splashed with brilliant yellow and black etchings and her long pincer legs give her a fearful beauty—best observed at a distance. She’s called,

By Lynn Mosher – Ebenezer? Who is that? No, not Scrooge. This Ebenezer was a what, not a who. In the Bible, Ebenezer means stone of help. It’s purpose? Let’s see… At one time in Israel’s history, when they faced the Philistines, Samuel and Israel fasted, prayed, repented, and offered
By Karen Jordan – Stressed out by all of the holiday activities? The day after Thanksgiving, I found myself overwhelmed by the approaching holiday season. I avoided Black Friday sales, but I didn’t escape the Monday morning blues. I wondered how I could have gone from blessed to stressed in
