Thank you, Rebecca. Your honesty and transparency are admirable and refreshing. I am eager to savor Not My Grandmother's Hymnal. A quote which arrived recently with no attribution is one I love: "God is a blanket we throw over Mystery to give it shape."
I find it interesting that those who often lead me to deeper understanding of faith are ones who, on the surface, do not have faith. For most, their faith is at the least not in any form of organized Christianity. Some call themselves atheist, others call themselves spiritual, others identify as Jewish, Buddhist, or not Christian. I am grateful for the levels of curiosity these folks stir up for me.

I love this quote! Just added to my notebook. If you ever discover the source, please let me know.

This reminds me of something I heard along the way, "don't tell me what you believe, show me."
