Personally, I think that these within the construct arguments are quite healthy, and that those who no longer value the bible should not be in too much of a hurry to rubbish the ever-evolving thoughts of those who still do.

Thanks Mick for acknowledging my new ideas about things. I know you don't believe the same way I do... so I guess it means even more to me.

I have been so lonely for so long. Years of having ideas and wanting to do things and not being able to tell a single soul, not even my best friends. As you know, no matter how close you are to someone at meeting, they will turn around and tell on you for the silliest of things. Or if they think you are weak they wont want to be around you as much or gossip about you to the other sisters.

To have sometone to listen to me and hear me and care about what I have to say.... its just as you describe it....

....... it can eventually open up into quite a breathtaking new world-view, the likes of which one could never have imagined

The best way I can describe my feelings is the way I felt about my first boyfriend..... just the smell of him made me ache. And now I feel the same way about spirituality and learning, euphoric. There are no limits!!!
