Ramblings

Lately, I've been feeling spiritually disconnected. It could be related to our pastor situation or it could be many other reasons that don't really matter. I'm on a quest to find an "aha" moment internally about my understanding of God, my faith and how I want to keep living from this day forward.

I'm in a Bible study group that began in January of 2001, before I met Brian! There are four of us who were there from day one who are still attending. We had a great bonding meeting this Monday night...just so happened we were the only four in attendance out of six or seven current members. We decided to read A Purpose Driven Life. Yes, I know it's very commercial and mainstream, popular Christianity, but I don't care right now. I'm willing to read it to see if I gain any understanding about my faith. I'll update you on what I find out, if anything. Actually, I'm optimistic I'll glean a couple morsels of thoughts to chew on...

On another note...Claire and I are doing swim lessons again. The kids are so cute. The teacher's much better than last summer and I'm grateful that she's teaching instead of the other lady who couldn't sing in tune. I'm very sensitive to out-of-pitch anything! I'm glad Claire likes the water.

good luck on the purpose driven life.I kinda got busy about half-way through and have even forgotten at times that im in the midle of it. but it has taught me a few good things and reminded me of some things that I kinda forgot I knew.
 
perhaps the reason that it is very commercial and mainstream is that it is easy to understand and many people have learned a lot from it. Books dont become popular because they suck.

Name:
Location: Beaverton, Oregon, United States

I was a French teacher for four years, a life-long dream achieved. Now, I'm taking a serious break to raise a family. I go to a United Methodist Church regularly with my husband, daughter and son. For my future ideal job, I'd love to travel the world eating in great restaurants and write food reviews!!! Someday I'd like to live on the Oregon Coast and be a translator for French tourists! However, in the meantime I'm earning a substantial income with Jewels by Park Lane, subbing & Shaklee!
