BEYOND DRESSING IN HOLY IMAGES
Polly Ann Brown

Renee Gehman
"Does the salt analogy still apply to Christians when we think of something as being too salty? Can Christians be too Christian?"

The Turquoise Pen
ICING ON THE CAKE
Nöel R. King
"When she came home from work and unlocked the front door to her house, her key welcomed the lock and vice-versa. Her pillows at night talked to her hair. Her knees talked to her mattress and even whispered sometimes over to the window. . . ."

Beneath the Skyline
WHERE DID I LEARN THAT AN OUTSPOKEN WOMAN IS UNDESIRABLE? GENDER MATTERS, PART 2 OF 2
Deborah Good
"Where did I learn to not only keep some of my opinions inside, but also to downplay my intelligence, my successes, my skills as an
