Comment on How to split a church without really trying by Songbird

Thanks for your heartfelt story. I was in my mid-twenties and just separating from my Baptist identity when I realized a dear friend from college must be gay. I thought, “Why should he not be loved as I hope to be loved?” The seeds of acceptance sown in my childhood in a Southern family that stood up for integration finally burst forth when I learned to be accepting of people I had scorned, satirized and, yes, feared.

Most books I hold on a pillow; but it sounds like Kindle would be useful. Also eco-friendly.

As a member of the 100 mile an hour club (and the “What will they tell me at the next appointment?” club, too), I hear you.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog, I’ll be back to visit again. I have done lectio in the past. Maybe that slowing down would be a good practice for me, too. Are your wrist or finger joints part of the problem? That’s why my husband got the Kindle for me, and it really gives me a break. You can’t get every book in the world on a Kindle, but enough to vary with holding heavier books.

I’ve been away a bit developing the new CCblogs site. I’m back and reading. I guess you could just do whatever the heck you want here, sometimes one thing and then another. Whatever strikes you.

I haven’t been reading many blogs lately (or writing them here,) but tonight I’m happy to read your antidote for the blues. It is a fine practice and one I should remember more often.
