No worries about "time" ... there never is enough in my neck of the woods, either. In my world I know if God wants me to do something if (1) I have the energy and inspiration to do something and (2) if the time is available! LOL! I just go with what works, eh? ;^) I have had the privilege of being a friend to a number of men, too ... and am trying to be an especially diligent mom for my three sons, to help them cut some of the trauma off at the pass, as it were, before it happens! kathy…I am so happy to hear that you’re putting something together for the Wiki2 book!

Kathy thank you for having both the strength and the weakness necessary to so powerfully address theses kinds of absolute critical issues. This is a message that needs to be sung from the mountain tops and in the valleys and in the backyards and in the cities and in the small towns and in the ghetto's and the affluent neighborhoods and in the pubs, and coffee houses in every home and every other place that those who are in Christ may be found. WE NEED EACH OTHER, NOT IN SPITE OF, BUT BECAUSE OF OUR DIFFERENCES! Tom Wilson WOW!

LOVE the collaborative publishing idea and can't wait to see what comes together. thanks for all you do...i was with a friend yesterday who was abused by women in his life and it is so interesting how the same dynamics that you mentioned that brad had shared go the other way, too. how forming safe women friends for abused men (whether in childhood or in their family or marriages) has the same healing effect. we talk about the women thing more because it's more prevalent but i do think that there's another side of the story, too. bottom line is just a reminder of how truly we need each other!!! randi – well that’s what i love about staying connected out here in online world because we are all challenged and learning in different ways!

claire – great to hear from you and glad that you found these thoughts encouraging and that they resonate with where you are at on the journey.

dan – yes, i am sure one of these days we’ll get to have a real conversation :)

karin – thanks for stopping by. i’d love to read your post! yes, we need more role models for this, more folks who are willing to say “yes, it is possible…and good..and healing…and spiritually transforming…”

Brad Sargent talks a great deal about men needing to be "safe males" for the sisters who have been wounded by men, too. http://missionaltribe.org/groups/w2mt-collaborators Thanks for being who you are for everyone to see. Oh...and anyone else who has an inspiration story about women "taking flight" in the Kingdom as well as working side by side with the brothers, consider submitting a proposal yourself! Blessings....
