W.A.S.P.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP). I don’t recall where I heard the term, but it seemed to me that they were the movers and shakers. They were the ones who dictated how society would function.

Little did I know that I would one day marry a WASP. I have four little WASPs who dream of converting to Islam. At the dinner table, we alternate between Muslim prayers and Christian prayers, and they seem annoyed when I insist on them repeating the Christian prayers.

​The Lord God Almighty knows why being a Christian in a Muslim country raises a hotbed of issues. I hope that one day, my four little WASPs will know how much their mother sacrificed so as to keep them free of bigotry and discrimination.

I hope that when they have little ones, the only thing that will matter is being in God’s millennial kingdom. The Lord God Almighty is a God of truth. The Lord God Almighty is a God whom faith applauds.
