Sobre la meva biblioteca
In the last thirteen years, my library has gone through a transformation. Until my second year in seminary, I was still hanging on to books from graduate school. Everything from Euripedes to Virginia Woolf. But with my new calling, I was running out of room. So I had to downsize. I pulled off my shelf any book that I could find in a library from Jane Austen to John Steinbeck, threw them into boxes, and took them to the seminary where plenty of broke students might find some use for them. I didn't get rid of everything, but I needed room for biblical commentaries and multi-volume dictionaries, liturgical studies and theology, Christian/church history and spiritual practices. So right now, my library is a mix of some typical English major literature, Christian studies (if you will), homiletics, some women's studies sources, and Christian spirituality.
Sobre mi
For almost twenty years, after graduating with an MA in English, I taught English at a Penn State campus. In 2002, I resigned and graduated from seminary three years later. Now I am a United Methodist Pastor, and I do more writing than I ever did as an Instructor of English. The weekly sermon is the most challenging writing I've ever done. (Okay, writing poetry ranks up there with writing sermons.) My husband, an artist and a professor of art at Penn State, and I live on a small farm that we were inspired to move to by the likes of farmer and writer Wendell Berry. We are child free, but we have had some "kids," if you know what I mean. Right now, two dogs and three cats share our life. We lost our last goat last Spring.
