As I walked the streets of my small midwest town praying for the people and the churches of the town, the words came to me, "Make bitter waters sweet." Those words made no sense at the time. Surely if those words actually came from God they weren't about me. I, the pastor's wife, had a life that other women in my church envied. Shortly after that, my life fell apart and the bitterness that lurked beneath the surface came to the top. But God did not leave me there. Just as He can make crooked paths straight, raise valleys, and lower mountains, so also could He make bitter waters sweet. This blog contains bits and pieces and large chunks of my ongoing journey from bitter waters to sweet.
Diamondnell deserve the honors, not me. She commented "Rumors of God's patriarchy have been greatly exxagerated!" on something I wrote on the equalitycentral forum.

Yay! Diamondnell (who comments under a different name here which escapes me at the moment.)
She is very creative and I love what she comes up with.
And I love both Retha's honesty AND recogizing a good turn of a phrase.
Thanks to the both of you, ladies!
Hey, Retha. I linked you blog post from Rachel Held Evans blog. Did you get any traffick from there?
I did get traffic from there. For about 3 days, her blog was where I got most/ second most referrals from after google.
Good. You have some really good things to say concerning these things. Your input is much appreciated and really adds to the conversation.
