Soul Sister

You have no power over my body, neither can you do me any harm. I fear none but the great Jehovah, which hath foretold me of these things, and I do verily believe that he will deliver me out of your hands.

Anne Hutchinson at Trial

Ever wonder how Wikipedia will document your life story in 300 years? I feel like I just read mine when I perused Anne Hutchinson’s.

I always just kind of dismissed her as a nut — you know, an outspoken crazy woman with a sad obstetric history that ticked off a powerful man who simply labeled her a heretic. Nothing of consequence there, right?

Oh, dear me.

Needless to say, I’m not going to be inviting in any group of wandering natives anytime soon.

    Wow - that is incredibly interesting. I had heard of her, but didn’t remember much about her. Now I will have to do more research. =)

    So you are an INFJ? Me too.

    Yes, yes. INFJ. I can believe that about you too, Loraena. From reading your stuff. . . .:)
