Welcome!

Welcome, whether you're new to my stuff or an old reader, to Farfalla (previously Coming Later, lately Ooh! Shiny!). The butterfly imagery, in addition to being just plain adorable, is indicative of the blog's changes over the past year or so, but no worries; I'm having as much fun as ever and I hope that's apparent.
I hope you enjoy, and as always,

Two things...

If you're not following it, I highly recommend you acquaint yourself with everything going on in the New Hampshire Ernie Willis rape trial. A plethora of articles on the subject may be found here. Mr Willis pleads guilty to statutory rape and is currently being charged with forced rape. The girl was impregnated, packed off to raise the baby in Colorado, had it put up for adoption, and is now 29.

You can follow live blogging of the trial here. I am. I'm trying to figure out how to get the alerts sent to my phone.

But the person who SHOULD be on trial is the pastor who used this occurrence as an excuse to gossip and humiliate her, by twisting the words of Old Testament Law. It's disgusting disgusting disgusting. I've met the pastor. I don't remember anything about him except he seemed nice. I cannot believe someone's mother would allow all this to happen.

But then, i cannot believe someone's mother would watch while her husband kicked their eldest daughter out, called her worthless and a piece of shit, and allow all that to happen. So yes.

So that's one thing. What's the other thing, Corbyjane? Well, I will tell you. That Was God is a website that follows the same format as MLIA and other random sites, except the events are ones where God has very clearly been present. It's a great palate cleanser.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
