I have been a life-long member of the church. As a mother of one daughter and two sons, I see clearly now more than ever how the Lord must feel towards his children. I believe it is time to respectfully raise this question, as I am not content, nor am I comfortable with the severe balance of power issues, though I would give anything to once again feel comfortable. Sadly, progress is rarely comfortable, which is why it can be hard. One day my children will appreciate what this question has cost. I am not crazy. I believe women should, and someday will, be ordained.
