Votary of Nature

August 28, 2013July 13, 2017 / Writings By Rosemary / 30 Comments

A lack of time continues to creep up on me and this is a now or never post so I hope it ends up making sense.  In my last blog, I said I'd be writing about God and religion with the caveat that there would be no preaching, soapboxes, or soul saving.  Given the enormity … Continue reading Votary of Nature
