I doubt that Church was ever supposed to be an institution but only loose and changing communities of faith. <br /><br />((((((Shel)))))<br /><br />Kathy<br /><br />kladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526715552795733402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639432231862874217.post-31198626053489568922013-11-03T10:10:28.519-05:002013-11-03T10:10:28.519-05:00I don't know if we are masochists or what.

And there is always a place where I am needed...I am thankful that it is no longer a 100 mile round trip though!!! LOL<br />love to you. Share your blessings round!

I used to say, "Church isn't for sissys," and it's true. Sometimes it's really rocky. I am glad to see you on a good path, though, and staying in the institution. Stay 'till they kick you out, that's my motto. I hope the freedom will be just what you need.<br />Love...<br />Lindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639432231862874217.post-53367150290965487002013-11-02T23:30:43.026-04:002013-11-02T23:30:43.026-04:00Hope that this initiates a time of wonderful disco...Hope that this initiates a time of wonderful discovery and holy surprises.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttp://ruthhullchatlienbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639432231862874217.post-4608114428351947772013-11-02T22:58:38.460-04:002013-11-02T22:58:38.460-04:00Change is scary, change is good.

Sad that the additions mean breaking up the family homestead. Life changes, doesn't it?<br /><br />Never fear. I'm never far from God who has such an amazing sense of humor. Knowing what I was planning, I got the giggles at the Timothy reading last week. And some of the Facebook memes have been so priceless. All too often tho I bear the brunt of that humor.PseudoPiskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070541512355253553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639432231862874217.post-9728603808105781862013-11-02T21:28:52.578-04:002013-11-02T21:28:52.578-04:00yes -- sorry that the goodbye was less than Christ...yes -- sorry that the goodbye was less than Christian -- happy for the freedomsusankayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513759507628166408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639432231862874217.post-84830381287169491102013-11-02T21:26:43.341-04:002013-11-02T21:26:43.341-04:00Wishing you blessings in your newfound freedom, jo...Wishing you blessings in your newfound freedom, joy, and discovery.
