We all know it exists out there, but seldom talk about the “dark nights of our souls”. All of us are vulnerable human beings and whether we like it or not, are chemical beings as well. Our fragile inner selves suffer small slights and usually bounce back. But sometimes the ugly head of depression creeps [...]

Spreading the Good News
Posted in Posts by Pam, Study Material on August 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
We don’t seem to hear much good news these days. Our media is full of details about just HOW BAD things are. I don’t know about you, but there are times when all of this pessimism gets me down. I have a sister who copes by (apparently) ignoring it all. I don’t know if she [...]
The Wisdom of Women

I am very happy with the development of this group. I am continually struck by how very much we have in common, but also how much we have to learn about and from each other. Last month and over the last few Gatherings, we have discussed some meaty issues of life-marriage, death, elder care and [...]

and a new year filled with delights. I’m watching snowflakes gently fall-remembering that they are each unique-miraculous. It is a wonder that with the g-zillion people who inhabit the earth, we are each unique as well…and that is miraculous too!

Rather than compete with the BPW/AAUW/Civic Club event “Second Chances for Women” on March 6th, I am changing the date of our next gathering to March 20th at 10 AM at St. Matthew’s Episcopal in Oakland. I hope this change will enable those of you involved with the named organizations to attend! At our last gathering [...]
At the end of a year…and new beginnings

We often find ourselves reflecting about the year just past. Our mood was reflective in December when we gathered for the last time in 2009. Where are we going? What is our mission? What do we want Agape, a gathering of women to be? To represent? There seemed to be interest in discovering how we might be [...]

I just ran across an internet site that may be of interest to those of you who like to shop ‘green’, fair trade or get a little charity benefit as you shop. It is www.charityusa.com. On the site, you will find links to a number of causes-breast cancer, literacy, children’s hunger, childrens’ health, animal protection etc. It [...]

The most compelling evidence that Jesus was a woman: 1. He fed a crowd at a moment’s notice when there was virtually no food. 2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn’t get it. 3. And even when he was dead, he had to get up because there was still work to do.
Halloween Greetings!

If you are reading this, it means you have been successful in reaching our new blog. Hooooraaay! This month’s topics are a bit lighter than usual. We’ve hit some pretty big issues over the past few months and I thought maybe, just maybe, you might be in the mood for something a little less demanding. [...]
