Having lived in various place...Knew her quite well. Having lived in various places and seen many folks like her she fit the typology one finds so common in most Prot churches. When women don't marry by a certain age they are often dismissed as leftovers. We had a man way way past the age of the College dept at another Austin church. He was always going out with the youngsters. Liked the young chicks. <br />Linda by contrast was not in the least seeking a boyfriend or wife at UBC. When so many of the students followed Dr Westbrook's lead and bolted when the church ordained and celebrated the ordination of a gay deacon, Linda stayed put. So many folks assumed she was lesbian.<br />Later of course she did marry. She moved off. And yet she was still so much a part of the old Ekklesia fellowship. There were several youngsters who later stopped their ludicrous attempt to "pray away the gay"-ness and today live successful uncloseted lives bereft of hypocrisy. Despite disordered sexuality or perhaps even because of it Linda still could not would not sever ties with the gay and soon-to-be gay collegiates.

She may have been an important part of your evolution, but it is YOU who have blossomed, Val.<br />You are exquisite. <br />Linda is in that unfathomable wholeness, that inexplicable joy, that eternal rest...and will be waiting for you (many years from now) ready to take snapshots of Glory.bjohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383678808582726403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2726040735002266757.post-63027472046802366592015-08-06T18:04:35.647-07:002015-08-06T18:04:35.647-07:00What a lovely tribute to Linda!
