Maybe some day I will need that too. And I wish that my mother would become more active in her church, rather than living isolated as she does, feeling like she has no purpose.<br />Doreen: OK. I sent you something, hope you got it.<br />Pauline: I look forward to reading more from you as well.

Thank you so much for visiting my blogs and leaving such kind and generous comments.

I must write about Alabama; there is so much.<br /><br />Slim: I just realized that this would resonate with you , the daughter of a minister, in a special way. And I know that it connects with home-schooling too.<br /><br />twg: "To each his own" is right, I suppose. I wish I knew how people can connect with a spiritual side while sitting on hard benches listening to sermons; it never once worked for me. But perhaps it does for them.<br /><br />Saul: Raymond Carver. I remember an anecdote about him, that he took a night custodial job, finished the work in an hour, and spent the next 7 hours writing. Sweet. The fact that you have thought of him makes me want to go get a collection of his short stories form the library. I myself have never written a story in my whole life, but thank you!<br /><br />Tabor: See you in church next weekend. <br /><br />Ellen: I know, right? Are we taught goodness in the hard lessons of catechism? Almost never. It just doesn't come from there.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-63215882478521406922011-05-16T07:18:48.088-07:002011-05-16T07:18:48.088-07:00I gave up organized religion long long ago.

I worship every day though when I wander outside noticing and enjoying the beauty around me.<br /><br />It amazes me that people think if you don't go to church, you won't have any morals, as if goodness isn't inherent in us.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-15261209310300639582011-05-16T05:31:28.409-07:002011-05-16T05:31:28.409-07:00When we moved to Texas I immediately joined a chur...When we moved to Texas I immediately joined a church and gave 110% of my time and efforts. It was a small town and everyone went to some church. My children attended Sunday School. I never felt like I belonged, but it did provide a group of wonderful friends...some of which I have seen over the years. Now I go to the same church that you do.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-19883926424329817262011-05-15T20:41:15.278-07:002011-05-15T20:41:15.278-07:00The way you see the World, through both your eyes ...The way you see the World, through both your eyes and the lens, is soooooo refreshing.
