Dance with me

Friday, March 24, 2006

I have been grabbed by the story of the murder of Matthew Winkler. I have been a member of the Church of Christ my whole life and I have been watching this story all day...hoping to hear the rest of the story. I saw the picture of Mary Winkler and I wanted to talk with her. I wanted to say that I know where you live...I have lived in your life and I would understand where you are coming from. I don't think the media will be kind and I know they won't be able to comprehend what it is to be a woman in the Church of Christ and the extra stress that comes from being the minister's wife. They won't understand your nice girl upbringing or the secret keeping...we do have to look perfect, don't we? I also don't think that they will understand the suppressed rage that comes from being in that place. I am praying for you Mary Winkler...for understanding, for compassion, for your little girls, for your sanity, for the future....I am sure that I am not the only one.
