I ho...Hi Lisa,<BR/>This is your long lost cousin Tammy. I hope you read this because I have wanted to find you for so long! Your story brings back such memories and actually some of my same feelings about growing up. I remember that house and thinking that you were the greatest thing in the world. I got all of your "hand-me-downs" and worshipped you! I am so proud of your art. I am in anti-aging medicine and own a practice called Integrative Women's Health. It is an alternative medicine type practice. My website is www.tammyworrell.us. There is a link to my email address on the website and I would love it if you contacted me. I am writing a similar memoire of my childhood written from the perspective of a little girl sitting in our Aunt Jimmie's kitchen. Please contact me!<BR/>Tammy Worrell (formerly Adams)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658795814431273898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1112849514911816162005-04-06T21:51:00.000-07:002005-04-06T21:51:00.000-07:00Someday, when you're feeling strong, you might try...Someday, when you're feeling strong, you might try a church where people try to meet the real God, who doesn't care where you live, what dress size you are, or your skin color. Instead, the important things are what you think, what you say, and what you do; and these three things have consequences for which you are solely responsible.

No ...I went to a Catholic college in the late 60s. No such thing as wearing slacks to classes. In fact, the wearing of slacks was allowed only in the privacy of your dorm room. And if you got a phone call on the pay phone in the hallway, you had to change out of slacks or put on a skirt over the offending garment. I've never figured out why the sight of a girl in slacks in the hallway was so much worse than seeing same girl in the same clothes but two feet away in a dorm room. Ah, the mysteries of faith!<BR/>I've explored all the same religions as you -- as you well know. But my favorite remains the Church of the Golden Rule. Never fails to make sense to me.<BR/>Pam (aka Cinder-fuckin-ella)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1112363526251475592005-04-01T05:52:00.000-08:002005-04-01T05:52:00.000-08:00Your story about speaking at the pulpit was awesom...Your story about speaking at the pulpit was <I>awesome</I>.<BR/><BR/>I have a story in the same direction, but much less tumultuous. My father, step mother Fern and I visited my father's mother one time on a Sunday afternoon. My father is a pastor, my grandmother's father and grandfather were too. Apparently that side of the family is the kind of German where drinking is a terrible thing because it's sinful, and church is taken extremely seriously.<BR/><BR/>We arrived, I in jeans, and my grandmother asked at some point when we'd stopped to change clothes. We hadn't; those were the clothes I'd worn to church that morning. She got rather annoyed at me. <BR/><BR/>I don't remember what she said really. What I remember was my grandmother, Fern, and my dad having a long discussion about it while I was in the next room but within earshot. My grandmother and Fern were both pretty down on the whole wearing jeans to church thing. My father countered that most kids my age (I was probably about 16 at the time) don't go to church at all, and I'm going of my own free will. He felt that I was welcome in church whatever I chose to wear.Craig Steffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389673493933775673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1112271741988326382005-03-31T04:22:00.000-08:002005-03-31T04:22:00.000-08:00Gorgeously written.
