I was reflecting on this question following the “Seven MORE Deadly Sins” blog that I wrote, for I am a Catholic by choice. I was raised Lutheran, and chose to convert. I haven’t looked back in regret. For me, I felt closer to the Higher Power I choose to call God in the Catholic rituals than I did in the Lutheran.
Over my experiences on the road, dear reader, I have learned that there are several things (besides the obvious vehicle, gas, etc.,) that one requires for a fantastic road trip.
At the end of the day, what’s the point? Is it strictly a reproduction method? Is it a way of maintaining social order? Are we all really two halves of the same whole looking to become complete?
Bearing in mind the discussion that arose after a recent post (Seven MORE deadly sins), I would like to carry that on in this blog, thinking about the nature of addiction.
These days, following a newly born interest back into the world of science fiction television (I spent some days in junior high days with ST: Next Generation). I have been reflecting, from my feminist podium (see Mere Women 1, 2, and 3) on the portrayal of women in this genre.
I have spent my entire career (all seven years of it) working in the non-profit sector. I knew that I would after receiving my undergrad, and I believe that I always will, even with my master’s or doctorate.
As you may have picked up, dear reader, from previous posts, I am a drug and alcohol counselor with homeless addicts in a city setting. One of my clients, during our one on one session a few days ago, came to me with fears that she is going to hell because she is homeless. She informed me that the Vatican recently released a new list of things that are deadly sins, and this was on it.
There has been talking lately on this forum about the importance of writing and the value of it. There is another group of which I am a part, and we have recently been discussing something very similar. However, instead of discussing the value of writing as a whole, we’ve been discussing individual words and their meaning or power.
