So glad you found us here! Being on a search committee for a pastor is a big undertaking so good for you and K for taking it on. I hope you find a candidate who has a strong commitment to justice and to extending the welcome of Christ to all. Good luck with that...and blessings too! And that's awesome about the community food kitchen! I volunteered at one for a couple years while living in Eugene OR and it was an incredible experience...worthwhile and fun! Stop by and ramble anytime Laurie! Laurie–> Hi Laura and welcome! So glad you found us here! Being on a search committee for a pastor is a big undertaking so good for you and K for taking it on.

I'd LOVE to HEAR what you have to say! Your writings are very interesting and comfortable! I read your story and was very pleased and enthused to see that you are a Preacher! COOL! We are looking for a minister at our church and my friend K and I are on the committee. It sure would be nice to find someone who would be open and even enthusiastic about "welcoming and affirming" I do think our church is ---SLOWLY---moving in that direction! We have a couple of good candidates...Now to get one of them here and helping us all move forward.....we also want to be ever more involved in mission work! There is a community food kitchen/help night in our future starting in July!!! It would be once a month. Well thanks for letting me ramble! Anita, I just recently found your site and LOVE it!!

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 03:25:14 +0000 http://www.sisterfriends-together.org/?p=167#comment-232 Anita - what a wonderful idea. I would just love to hear you reading these wonderful entries. Because of your talent as a writer, it is very easy to read your entries and understand exactly what you are saying - but what a powerful way it would be to reach those of us who really would just rather listen to you - especially on some of the longer entries. GREAT IDEA!!!! Can't wait to hear!!!!! Thanks for allowing us to give our input! Anita – what a wonderful idea. I would just love to hear you reading these wonderful entries.

That really makes me happy to hear! When I was redesigning the site one of the words I used over and over with my web designer was that I wanted the place to feel comfortable like people were hanging out with a friend. I certainly feel that way when I'm writing and reading everyone's comments and I hope the same is true for all those who visit. Glad you're here Cindy!

I really appreciate the responses :) L-->That's one of the scriptures that meant so much to me in my own early days. I was really mystified by the peace I had despite finding myself in a situation where everything I had once believed had shifted and the perfect little plan for how my life would look wasn't playing out as I'd always imagined. The peace that Christ gives really is that peace <em>that passes all understanding</em> coming in situations where peace would seem absent and coming in a way that overwhelms all else. Thank you for reminding me of that scripture L and if you find any peace here in the ramble of words then it's all worth it. Truly.

Even an aucio podcast now and then might be nice as it would let some people carry your words and listen to them as they run/walk/drive/sleep/ etc, etc, etc. Might make it easy to share with people who haven't heard the good news. Even reading an article on the bible and sexuality might fit in this category of a podcast or a reading - almost like a sermon. You might put a sermon or 2 you've preached on the subject out there.
