Bev Cooke, YA author: Writing and Faith and Fulminating, Fulminating and Writing and Faith. And memes. Hurry up and wait. And wait. And wait. And . . … wait some more. Heh Heh. Heh.

Bev Cooke, YA author: Writing and Faith and Fulminating, Fulminating and Writing and Faith. And memes. TO BE OR NOT TO BE? Well, according to Times Magazine, August 3. Now, we seem to have moved to a sense of it’s okay for someone to choose their own death, as long as they are at the end of their lives, hit by intolerable pain or illness, bereaved and sorrowing and unable to contemplate life without a person they love or severly disabled.

http://visible-invisible.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-i-dont-hate-religion.html

Musings on Life and Spirituality. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Why I Don't Hate Religion. Here's what I read: http:/ i.imgur.com/mpQA0.jpg.
