Rainy, rainy day in Kentucky today, as Bryan has already pointed out. We have some thunderstorms moving through. I love them too. I remember sitting on our porch when I was a kid, with my Dad, watching and listening to them. I want a porch or deck now that I can do that on. Soon, perhaps. I may invite some of you to the "deck raising." I love the rain actually. I know, generally speaking, it's considered "dreary" and "depressing," but I like a good rain. Look, I don't have to have rain to be depressed. I'm good at that in all weather - seriously people. I love the sound of it. I love the smell of it - have you not smelled rain? You just want to breathe your lungs full of it. Once upon a time I remember telling friends of mine when they asked me, "Why don't you go back to the Catholic Church?" - I remember telling them, "I don't think I could do it - just too much to wade through." That was my standard answer. Well, I'm sort of coming face to face with that - have been for the last year nearly. I have to tell you, I'm finding that I was right to a certain extent. There is certainly some shit to wade through. It could be simpler. Some days I wonder what I have undertaken, especially for my family. It could be a LOT simpler for those who are already committed Christians from other traditions. And yes, I know I've done my share of whining about all this, and I'm probably not finished. For some reason, I thought I'd be done with the process by now. I thought we'd all be done with it by now. I thought amiss. My courage is no longer fading. I fear it is gone. Yeah - not 'gonna be on Journey Home any time soon I don't reckon - ha.

three quotes |:: "Then, if we cannot as yet think alike in all things, at least we may love alike. Herein we cannot possibly do amiss." "Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross
is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." "...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be
completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self."
