Hillary and me



Category: miscellaneous | Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 4:10 pm

You don't know how lucky I was to get this picture. It takes boldness in life. I had a bad encounter in my church where my pastor actually said for the pulpit that I should stay in my place. That would be fine if he would tell me what my place is.

See, I am getting my Masters degree in theology and just my presence in my small country church is confusing and threatening. As history has shown us, new things or different things are frightening and sadly, people react to things unknown with ANGER.

But, the sentence "stay in your place" became an empowering montra. I was waiting for PEOPLE to approve everything I did and thought (in my church) instead of beinig the Dorothy that I am outside of the church= dependent and concerned with how God thought about me.

So, Christian, in her place, Dorothy sauntered up to Hillary's secret service and got a personal autograph and picture. I am so happy that I am staying in my place= being Dorothy.


We had snow this week the first snow in I don't know how many years. The plants look as though they have not been damaged.

The nerve... I admire you for the fact that you did not stay in your place.

Great picture, I admire you for your boldness.

Just remember, God does tell us to be bold in our witness, so I ask how can you "stay in your place" and be bold at the same time Sister.
