<DIV dir=ltr>Well, what a clumsy re-introduction to Vision 2020 -- I sort of
forgot how to send a post to the list, so sorry for the blank email you all
just got from me. <BR><BR>It's been about a year since I left Vision,
both as a reader and as an active participant. By late fall of 2010, I
had gotten discouraged by the tone and direction the discussions sometimes
were marked with, and it was fairly easy, although not at all fun, for me to
see that I had occasionally been one of the offenders, or at least not always
a positive contributor. But the truth is that I miss the dialogue, I
miss hearing from and about many of you, and I think we can all agree that
there's a whole lot of stuff going on these days that needs to be hashed out
in the public square. I've been blogging up a storm, of course, except
for during the holidays, but I'm feeling a bit disconnected from my home of
nearly ten years, and so I plan on rejoining. <BR><BR>Yeah, I
know. A scatter of applause, a murmur of groans, and, predominately, the
empty sound of nothin' but crickets . . . <BR><BR>Anyway, I haven't
mellowed nor moved to the right in my politics, I'm still "religious in
that way," as my aunt says, and I'm as passionate in my beliefs as I always
have been. Perhaps more. But a truly difficult 2011 -- I won't be
a bit unhappy to see the New Year come -- has, I think, made me a gentler
person, and if I can remain so on Vision, then . . . I'm back. And if
not, I'm gone. <BR><BR>Hope all of you are well, and I look forward to
jumping back into the fray! And the blog I mentioned earlier, by the
way, is Prevailing Winds; if you're interested in a Christian defense of
feminism, racial/social/economic/LGBT equality, and what I believe to be a
Biblical analysis of other issues that you perhaps haven't gotten from
purveyors and practitioners of that ol' time religion, check it out at
