Farewell.

I had commented on an earlier post that I was thinking about ending my blog.

Well I have decided to end it.

For various reasons I no longer want to continue with my blog.

So that you aren't wondering I'll give you two reasons, even though I have more.

First reason: I don't want to spend the time or energy dealing with it.

Second reason: I don't like the tone of conversations and comments on most blogs. I have found that in the blogging world people are always (mis)understanding each other. I started this blog with the intent of (re)understanding things yet have found that blogs hinder the process of learning and understanding to a high degree and I no longer want that.

I'm getting rid of the blog with the plan of having more conversations in real life.

I'm tired of the false sense of conversation that blogs create.

I've found most people never have conversations on blogs they just rant and rave about stuff. (Which I am guilty of as well)

So... farewell blog-dom.

May the peace of God be with you, because I sure won't.

Forgiveness...

I have struggled with "church" and how I often feel as though it has fallen short of being "The Church". I have been angry and probably become bitter.

But after having a conversation over a long lunch with my wonderful Mother, I realized something...

I haven't forgiven the Church.

I haven't forgiven the Church for falling short.

How can I not forgive the Church for falling short when I have been forgiven for falling short?

I'm always falling short.

Now I need to begin (always) forgiving.

And today, along with a long list of others, I forgive the Church.

May we all find the strength and courage to always forgive.
