So, since Scott and I have been dating and together, we've decided to try to attend church regularly, just because.......

As you probably remember me sharing in the past, about 9 years ago our family stepped out of the traditional church settings, mostly do to religious mindsets that become "politically" charged. I am pretty passionately opposed to "religion", which differs from a faith lifestyle.......

I believe people need the love of God more than condemnation. Jesus didnot come to condemn and criticize, but to seek and to save...... and I know I need to feel it in my life....... on a daily basis. It is like no other love......

In recent months I've come under some heavy duty judgments based on the perceptions of people, who quite honestly, never bother to get to know me. That is often how it is. It is because of this genuine love that I have been able to be courageous.

And actually at age 47, I really don't feel I need anyone's approval anymore lol, except the acceptance of the One........

While hearing a song playing today about the love of God, I fought back tears. Realizing the unconditional love I have found, because I searched and searched 16 years ago, looking for something substantial, other than religion. I found the real thing...

On earth and from heaven.

One of my greatest desires is to spread this kind of love, acceptance, and longing for more in life, for those who are seeking. As I try to put first these passions, all else follows.

One this May 1, something is about to change......
