Madre's Missives

Today, August 26 is an important day for women.  You didn't know that either did you?  Good thing I read the latest ELCA Cafe Hot Topic (a.k.a. "fish in a barrel") and found that out.  Today is "Women's Equality Day", or so says an act of Congress in 1971.  It is also "Women's Strike Day", which must've been when that act of congress began, inspired by "tens of thousands" of woman protesting all across the United States...and in Paris.  Today also commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution back in 1920, when women were given the right to vote in civic elections.

I was so busy last week at The Feast that I hardly got to spend any time with my own youth group, who were at their very first Higher Things
