Holy shit, I went to church
If it had been a while between political posts, it’s been even longer between religious-quest posts.
I went to church this morning. With Amanda, Timothy, and Karin. We went to Wheatland Presbyterian (PCA, for those who care). My acquaintancey-type friend Ned Bustard (editor most notably of the outstanding anthology It Was Good: Making Art to the Glory of God) goes there, as do the folks behind the Word>>>Flesh Christmas album some of us were digging on this December. It turns out that one of Karin’s regular kids at the library goes there too, with his family. I thought it was a good service and that it felt like a solid church.
So where am I in my whole religious questy thingy? Who knows. I haven’t done any serious reading on the subject for a few months. And in fact, while I’m in the middle of writing about it now, I just don’t feel like writing about it any more at the moment. Where’s everyone else in spiritual/religious terms?

I’m formally joining the Catholic Church in Easter and feeling grounded in my faith for the first time since High School.
this is fun stuff
i am getting my master’s degree at nazarene theological seminary in intercultural studies (missions). which doesn’t define where i am, persay, other than i am studying to be a missionary (in a compassionate ministry level probably). my travel experiences with churches in spain, germany, brazil, etc. has definitely expanded who God is and my experiences here in kansas city leave me both grounded and yet in the clouds. if you really want more explanation, just ask. but i won’t blab on and on.
want some great reading no matter what? henri nouwen– love the guy! good stuff. l
