My mother's family had some characters too. The resident con man, cheat, and all-around horse's tush was my Uncle Leon. Leon was my great-uncle by marriage. Leon made a deal with my other great-uncle by marriage, Uncle Bill.

When Bill returned from the war, Leon came to see him looking solemn. "Bill," he told his partner, "While you were gone, the sheep got sick. Half of them died.

There's nothing sinister about a woman minister. This is a lifestyle blog about a clergywoman interacting with her parishioners, the surrounding townspeople, and the wider world with a dash of humor, a pinch of religion, and a sprinkle of the Meaning of Life thrown in.
About Me
- Irreverent Reverend
- I've been a pastor of several churches of 100 to 500 members, a sales representative, a corporate trainer, and have worked in offices in various capacities. I've lived in Wales, Germany, England, and Brazil. I took comedy lessons at Comedy Gym and performed a couple of times on amateur night at a comedy club. Now I'm back to being a pastor again.
