Barbara's Easter Message from Iraq

Posted on: Sunday, April 20th, 2003 by Barbara Ferguson

Today is Easter Sunday. One of my hooch mates, a young doctor named Carol Ann Browning, dragged me to sunrise service this morning.' We had to get up at 4:30am to be there at 5am.' We were all very tired.' I think I woke up half way through the service... when the band began! ' ' We then invited one of the Chaplin's (Anglican priest from Wales whose service I've been attending every Sunday) to join us for breakfast.' Then Carol Ann asked me to join her prayer group for one hour.' Then, at 9:30 we went to the Baptist service.' And, at 11:30 went to Father Jones' mass at the British side of this air base. ' A very busy Easter morning for me, indeed.' But very nice.' Lent and Easter in the desert.' I will never forget the symbolism of all this. ' Darling, my trip to Tikrit was, again, an adventure. I've been having so many since I've been here, I feel truly blessed.' We were supposed to go up to Baghdad and turn around.'

Either You Are, Or You Aren't a Renaissance Woman!

A renaissance woman is someone who sets her own agenda for personal achievement and will not allow herself to be manipulated or intimidated by self-proclaimed spokesmen who try and wrap their political philosophies around terms like "equality," "choice," "peace," "tolerance" and "diversity." She understands that she has been created for such a time as this and embraces her destiny as a challenge and not a curse, no matter what her personal circumstances. She is a winner not a whiner, a leader not a follower, a victor, not a victim. She wants to change the paradigm of the feminist movement that has served to marginalize and ridicule women who do not follow their collective agenda.

Millions of women around the country, from all professions, backgrounds and cultures, are courageously picking up the mantel of leadership and virtue, that the feminist movement has squandered. They are providing thoughtful and accurate analysis, on a variety of issues, of where, and who we are as a nation.

Remember, this is not a club. It is a mindset!
