Women's Worship Group, pro·phy·lac·tics & Fire Alarms This weekend I was at a Quaker Gathering. Late evenings included a Women's Worship Sharing Group. We were staying in college dorm which I thought was awesome. I could slip into my Jammies, walk over to the worship group to the worship group down the hall, and crawl into the sack after the meeting. The women were getting ready to begin the Worship Sharing when one woman noted a basket full of women's condoms. One woman opened a pack just to see what they looked like. I mentioned that I was tempted to send one to my supercilious Southern Baptist sister. I could mail it anonymously because we are in North Carolina while I live in West Virginia. The lady next to me offered to mail them from Tennessee. They were strawberry and vanilla scented. The lady across the room, took one, and unfolded it, which was a square rubber sheet and decided to smell it. Gee, I wonder what it taste like so she took a taste. "P*SSY!" our black outspoken friend responded. The lady turned beet red and ran out of the room. She came back in and we decided to get into some serious silent worship although there was giggling interrupting the silence. Suddenly the Fire Alarm started blaring and we had to evacuate. I was in my Jammies. Oh Joy!!!! There was no fire. They think it was triggered by hair spray so all was well although my travelling partner's roommate slept through it. The next morning, I was having breakfast with a kindred soul. Our black outspoken friend joined us. I mentioned that those pro·phy·lac·tics might work for girl on girl s*x but I am not sure how it would work with a man. "Men do that too!" our outspoken friend informed us. Dah! I don't have the history of being goodie two shoes but I remember plastic wrap being used for that purpose. Apparently someone decided to market that concept. She asked if the Kindred Spirit and I had ever been hippies. I responded, that I've been a hippie, a biker chick and an exotic dancer but I didn't put it on my resume for the Clearing Committee. (A process we go through for membership) I am reasonable certain that the members in meeting know my background or have figured it out. I am not a pious church lady type. There was a time when I thought that was what I had to be but my Higher Power had other ideas. I am more useful to my Higher Power being exactly who I am.  Abracadabra  |

I'm smiling because this could have been a group of the ladies I used to go to church with...... and also because things like this would shock some people who think Christians don't act like that or talk about "such things". LOL. As for just being yourself, that is the best way to be! Our life's experiences and how we handled them make us who we are and God takes us as we are, knowing everything about us, and gently shapes and molds us into who He wants us to be. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

ARE THE NEW WOMEN'S CONDOMS LIKE THE DIAPHRAGMES WE HAD WHEN I WAS YOUNG? WHAT WAS ALL THE FUSS? AND SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A CLEARING COMMITTEE? I ATTENDED QUAKER MEETINGS MY LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL AFTER ATTENDING A QUAKER WORK CAMP. OUR LEADER WOULD SAY/ EVERYONE'S CRAZY BUT THEE AND ME AND SOMETIMES I WONDER ABOUT THEE." THOSE WERE FUN DAYS.
