| | Hi friends,
Not much happening around these parts these days.
Mark and I have been making friends with this couple who we would never have guessed we'd like so much, which is so cool- we need more friends.
I started talking to my pastor about youth ministry options at our church and within 15 minutes became very very nervous. ( I think I have commitment issues!) It has taken me over two years to get to the place of possibly going back into ministry of any kind. I go to one the most liberal churches I've ever been to now, and love every minute of it, but I think I've learned that politics and expectations seem to be a part of every church, no matter how conservative or liberal. What I have found though is that in my liberal church people seem more mature, more ready to talk things out, more interested in true communication. (and as a side note, are better educated at higher quality schools)
I think the journey of my healing from past church injuries will probably need to bring me back to church ministry. I hope this experience is much more health-ful than my last. And I think it's beginning stages have been truly smart and that the first steps were very cautious and thoughtful.
In the mean time, I've been excited to read your thoughts on faith, peace, forgiveness, politics, etc. And I'm sorry not to have posted much. I am working on something in my back left lobe that should be mind blowing when it hits the web.
