Have you noticed the way the weather is being reported lately?
Have you noticed the way the weather is being reported lately? Climate change, specifically global warming, as evidenced by the dramatic increase in severe storms and the decrease in polar ice…they’re making it entertaining. Entertaining, for gawdsake. Commentators refer to “extreme storms” — making them sound all exciting and daring, like “extreme sports”. Another opens …

Surrogacy – Why Not?
Sure, women should be allowed to be surrogates. We all do work with our bodies, some of us also include our minds in the deal (some of us are allowed to include our minds in the deal), so why not? As long as they get paid for service rendered. Being a surrogate is sort of …

The Wife
The Good Wife, The Trophy Wife, The First Wives Club…why in the 21st century do women continue to be so frequently identified as wives? That is, identified in relation to men? We don’t see a similar proliferation of tv shows and movies with “husband” in the title. The word is emasculating. It would be especially …

Our Christian Language
I hadn’t really thought about it until I saw ‘his word’ corrected to ‘His Word’ on a Writing Competency Test at a publicly-funded university.
