Roughly 33 percent eh? Your mouth to God's ear. What about doing a poll? Joshua:

Your mouth to God’s ear.

I deleted a comment just below yours because of foul and threatening language. It came out the Washington - Maryland area - they usually hop through Indiana. They weren't far behind your comment time wise. Stay safe. Joshua:

Judging by my email responses, I suspect that my female readership is even higher. "Alpha jockeying" doesn't seem to accurately portray JC.C, and even if it does, that must mean a lot ofwomen enjoy it. Blog on!

Mainly for the reasons stated. However, I've found that some of the Pastors I've worked with view my questions as a challenge--either a challenge of their authority or as if I were saying, "I don't agree with you." And, as these same pastors seem to have a heirarchial view of ministry (S.P.'s run the show, associates are support staff), then they feel like I don't believe in their authority. I've found that one of the best ways to communicate with the guys I need to communicate with is to write it down. I'm more concise in written communication, and it's there to be refered to later for those who are more process oriented. But it means I use a lot of computer ink....

I agree with all that you say and for years, have known how to tailor my presentations to the majority audience. Of course, all of these require sensitivity in the course of a marriage, and a successful communicating marriage is becoming rarer and rarer. A very thoughtful post, Bene.
