Blessings on the new site

[rmnksdem]

The short version that I use on several blogs is:
Progressive Christian, liberal Democrat in KS, and Mac user - I don't follow the crowd... Highly recommend Marcus Borg's writing, Cassandra Wilson's singing, and www.soulforce.org, www.tcpc.org, & www.sojo.net. My wife and I have been married 13+ years and have 2 boys, ages 10 and 6. I'm also member of Reconciling Ministries Network. (hence the screen name RMN, KS, and Dem :-)

I've been a supporter of Soulforce for several years and - because of the life changing effect this group has had on me - giving me the tools and confidence to speak out - I use a link to the Soulforce site as my sig on blogs like dailykos, boomantribune, myleftwing, and streetprophets. I'm a "front pager" on the latter 2 blogs. Where I can I use the longer screen name "It's simple IF you ignore the complexity"

Probably the best introduction I can give is to link to a couple of my diaries one is a sermon I gave last January about Division and some of my heros (timely as it includes Rosa Parks and Beth Stroud) http://www.streetprophets.com/story/...0/26/94946/969
- another is my testimony to the KS House in a failed but very worthwhile effort to defeat our state hate amendment. http://www.myleftwing.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=134"

Yesterday was a dark day in the life of the United Methodist Chruch and we RMN members are reeling a bit. I give thanks for Soulforce that keeps me grounded and aware that we shall overcome. Namaste
