“Feminism … I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang, 'Free to be You and Me.' Free to be, if you were a girl—doctor, lawyer, Indian chief. Anything you want to be. And if you’re a boy, and you like teaching, you like nursing, you would like to have a doll, that’s OK too. That notion that we should each be free to develop our own talents, whatever they may be, and not be held back by artificial barriers—manmade barriers, certainly not heaven sent.” IfsThinkingWantShouldMayIdeasSongGirlHeavenBoysFeminismTeachingTalentDoctorsNotionLawyerChiefsIndianExplanationBarriersCaptureBe YouArtificialSimplestNursingDollsHeaven SentIndian Chief Author:Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“Some of the parables that Matthew records and that Jesus delivered as part of his Olivet Discourse-such as the ten virgins and their lamps or the servants and the talents they were given-are some of the best known of Jesus' teachings. Reading them in the context of his prophecies about the end of the world, however, makes them clearly parables of preparation. To be on his right hand with his "sheep" rather than at his left hand with the "goats" at his return, we must prepare ourselves now.” WorldEndsHandsReadingJesusLeftGivenKnownRecordsTeachingTalentReturnTenPreparationServantSheepProphecyDiscourseVirginsLampsEnd Of The WorldGoatsMatthewParablesLeft Hand Author:Eric D.

I'm thinking of these people that I watch to catch up with and be in their company.” PeopleThinkingBelieveTeachingTalentBrilliantHungryCynicalEmerging Author:Paula Vogel
