#117 My Body, My Choice Part 3 (REPOST)
I get that we want to bring down the abortion rates, but restricting women’s bodily agency is and always has been problematic and dangerous for women. So, I felt uneasy. So, I decided we’re going to talk about it. And what I want to do is speak specifically about the Scripture and science pertaining to abortion.
#116 Emotions, Elections, & Hot Topics

#115 Emotions and the Election
It occurred to me, that when we talk about hot topics, whether it’s abortion, immigration, racism, or book bands - well there’s more at play than just what we think. We bring our experienced reality, our emotions, and preconceived beliefs to the table. Emotions play a role in how we think.
So maybe we should start there.
#114 My Dad Died
Summer started like any other summer. Steve packed our car full of fireworks and drove to New York to celebrate with family at Mom's lakehouse on Arnold Lake on the 4th of July. All of my kids flew in, and their partners joined them this year. It was so much fun. All four siblings, their partners, nieces, nephews, and friends joined us, totaling about 70 people. We always cook a lot because we love our food.
I must say, a highlight this year was the 50 lobsters Kimmy brought from Maine and Johnny's banana cake. My friends said it must be laced with something because you can't stop eating it. And then my dad died, and I learned that death is a part of living.
