Nice "You don’t rock the table while playing the Jenga; that much is clear to all players." "Insomnia fueled" - Love your humor mixed in with pointing out the absolute dryness of most of Christian religion. Christ was so not boring. It's amazing the church has managed to either completely invert his message or make it so boring no one can find it in church. I once tried to reform a church as my nesting instinct with one of my children. I came out in an ice storm with the baby to actually get their ears since they were interested in the baby and gave a talk about being more living. Lol! I am a seminary dropout. First female co-chaplain of my class. I had a lot of doubt for a long time. Now I'm far more comfortable in my direct knowing and my theology would be considered absolutely heretical religiously in churches that are closer to fundamentalist/evangelicalsm and my politics (or lack thereof, given current options) but my unwilling to to get in step with "the narrative" would make me equally a heretical in liberal churches. I haven't been led to go in years but the last one was a Quaker Church. I loved the idea of not talking unless you're led to and trusting your direct connection wit the Holy Spirit and how passionate they were for social justice, though I wonder how much of that has been co-opted by recent events. Doubt. There it is again. I told you I was more or less over it. I'm not. Lol. Do you like the mystics? I remember reading Julian of Norwhich and loving her! Right now I'm reading a series called The Horses Know and loving it...spiritual, not religious. Enlightenment through horses, essentially ;)
