I'm a minister and I'm always getting in trouble with the evangelical church. For awhile I bowed out of the fray, but I KNOW there are a lot of Jesus-y people out there who are trying to find a middle ground betwen conservative faith and no faith. So...I'm trying to reach those folks so we can help each other find a way.

One of the things recovering evangelicals always have to deal with is sex -- the sex they're having, or not, and what they are going to teach their kids about sexual morals. The teens-and-sex thing has been on my plate lately with the kids I mentor, so I thought I'd throw up a few words. I just posted a new aritcle on Magpie Girl entitled, "Why I'm Not Teaching my Kids Abstinence." Let me know what you think, and drop some verbage in the comments if you have any tips for those of us who's children's brains have become pickled by hormones.

If you've been reading me for awhile and been wondering, "I wonder what Rachelle thinks about xyz..." let me know. I'm on the lookout for blog post topics around issues of faith, and other things too!

Hello fellow cre8buzz folk. Pipe of Love invited me months ago, and I'm just now getting around to setting up my site. (For such a rabid blogger, I'm a pretty big technophobe!)

I'm looking forward to finding great new reads amongst y'all. I won't be posting much on this blog, but I do post several times a week at my main blog Magpie Girl: http://magpie-girl.com. I hope you'll come visit me there.

I'd love to help cre8buzz writers find new readers. I have a regular Monday column at BlogHer.com, where I am a contributing editor on the topics of Religion and Spirituality. I'm always looking for good posts to highlight, so let me know if you've got something good up by emailing me at moi @ magpie-girl dot com. If I like your work, I'll put you on my watch list and highlight you as often as possible at BlogHer.

Thanks for stopping by!
