Serial Novel Chapter 1. Setting: a small town on the Llano Estacado. Main character: an old woman who uses mental skills to solve mysteries. What if a small town in New Mexico is similar to an English village where jealousies and crimes flourish but privacy is scarce?

They wish for 1928; they'll destroy everything else to take the USA back to that era.

They (America's white evangelicals and fundamentalists) are who they are because Power and Greed never changed their core beliefs in White Male Supremacy. Power and Greed merely sweetened the political deals they made within the Republican party.

Jesus' teachings; the 'inconvenient' truths that white evangelicals reject.

Today's Sunday School Lesson: The old religious studies courses we took for the easy A are no longer valid. America's Christianity is a fractured, weak, sectarian, divided, and splintered religion that survives only to support the far right and the new American fascism. Some sects like Methodists are defying the trend...but it is too little, too late.

Cults thrive when their followers run from challenges. Today's Republican party is a cult, a criminal enterprise that benefits an elite few. Women must accept the challenge of resistance.

Who is a Man?

Instead of trying to describe what A Real Man should be, I will premise my argument about gender roles on this: Every man and woman should exhibit the very best of human traits. Empathy, Humility, Kindness, Social Responsibility... If we raise the children in our families and communities to fully appreciate the strength in these traits, we will all live in a better world.

One way for a retired older person to believe again in the energies, good will, intelligences, and empathy of young people is to do background on a local film.

Be the Nemesis

Today is our National Day of Shame. However, some answers to my question, WHY ARE SOME CULT LEADERS AND MOVEMENT LEADERS SUCCESSFUL WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT, gives me a bit of hope. Men like Trump sit precariously in their powerful positions.

I would confess everything to Miss Marple.

The whole-body listening we showed as a baby is a skill that could save a life, a job, a relationship, and a divided nation like the USA.

Finding Faith

Patterns in our lives that lead to more of the same problems can be broken. A useful strategy is to Describe the Event, List Thoughts, List Feelings, List Behaviors. Somewhere in those lists are the reasons that the harmful pattern repeats itself.

Survivors are the few among us who learn resilience, empathy, inner strength, and emotiional intelligence.

2025: Part 2

What will 2025 bring to us? We do not know for certain; we can study patterns and history. But each of us should prepare ourselves and make wiser decisions.

Women (Re)sisters Part 2

Part 2: Look For The Helpers. Women must comfort, help, and promote women. Relying unconditionally on men for women's safety, security, and fulfillment is delusion. White women helped win the election for the GOP. We must be ready to help, because the GOP will undoubtedly fail women.

I am seventy-one years old and finally have the time and energy I've always wanted to give to creative writing. And, not surprisingly, I also have stories to tell and ideas to share. Often the main character in a film endures endless hours or years of 'writer block' or a frustrating search for plot or protagonist. I cannot imagine I will run out of ideas before my brain says goodbye. This is the best time of my life.

I've lived in New Mexico, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Missouri, and Alaska -- not in this order. Albuquerque is my current home. I also enjoy, since my retirement from teaching in the classroom, traveling to visit new places, meeting new people, learning new ideas and broadening my experiences. My travels to places like Puerto Rico, Austria, and other places in the United States inspire creative ideas.

My new books, Little Texas and Pease River Revival are now available as ebooks in most online bookstores.
