If anyone you should be sad about it would be for my wife—at least church would align with some of her needs.<br /><br />Naw—you didn’t need to stick around in a conversation I had forgotten about.DagoodShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04557451438888314932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896717.post-42318009062035448752011-05-16T18:49:47.006-04:002011-05-16T18:49:47.006-04:00Ah, Dagood, sorry that the apologists have given u...Ah, Dagood, sorry that the apologists have given up on you. :(<br /><br />I remember awhile back you sharing that your joy was to have these interesting theological discussions.<br /><br />I'm assuming that you never were able to find the church that could put up with you. Sad, Dagood.<br /><br />Sorry,, that I backed away from our discussion that time on Bruce's blog relating to the separation of church and state. Think I should have hung in with you, and that discussion no matter what, now.<br /><br />Pax, Dagood, and every good thing.<br /><br />Becky (Grace)<br /><br />P.S. If you ever take classes at a progressive seminary, you will find plenty of discussion, and debate partners, Dagood. :)<br /><br />Becky. aka (Grace)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896717.post-2925324694683208212011-05-13T16:53:22.612-04:002011-05-13T16:53:22.612-04:00D'Ma,
And they were brilliant :)
I put my com...D'Ma,<br />And they were brilliant :)<br /><br />I put my comment under the last post, so I'll repost it here where it belongs:<br /><br />Yesterday I read your latest post and wanted to comment but didn't have time til later in the evening when blogger wasn't working. It still hasn't put your latest post back up so I'll comment here.<br /><br />Your postwasn't a surprise, really. You've mentioned becoming busier with life and filling in those niches quite well where once church life and church friends fit. With the half marathon coming up, you've got a sizable challenge to meet which certainly must require a great deal of focus, energy, and dedication. This new journey sounds filled with happy anticipation of time with family and friends and meeting new personal goals. I'm so very glad for you.<br /><br />I do hope your post isn't a farewell to blogging as much as a farewell to the type of blogging you might do. Like others commenting before me, I'd like to hear from you too. I've appreciated your blog because of who you are as much as for what you write. Let us know about your marathon! And you mentioned your desire for gay marriage to be legal. If that's a passion, consider writing about it. There are those, like me, who are now open to hearing about gay marriage and other topics that we would have rejected at an earlier point in our journey. It's actually a topic I've been considering on my own.<br /><br />Also, in your post you mentioned how you have been reluctant to comment on blogs of people on the verge of deconversion. I don't know whether I was one of the people you had in mind, but that does describe me. For my part, I want you to feel free to comment as you will on my blog. I appreciate that you want to respect where I'm at faith-wise, but you don't need to refrain from commenting. I hold my ideas tentatively and value different perspectives. I actually do want to be challenged when need be. I'm not clinging to Christianity with ferocity. Though I still value spirituality, I don't have much of a need for Christianity to be the answer. <br /><br />You've got a lot of knowledge and good ideas to share. Hope you'll continue to share them.DoOrDoNothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15775977854913362396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20896717.post-23372384677697617592011-05-13T16:15:39.579-04:002011-05-13T16:15:39.579-04:00It ate yesterday's brilliant comments too! :)It ate yesterday's brilliant comments too! :)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313118060838041133noreply@blogger.com
