As I let go of the old routine, I do find myself happier with my direction in life.Cindy Shippy Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930778546988314835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612463220861801418.post-29287759403372375222011-05-26T12:01:36.815-04:002011-05-26T12:01:36.815-04:00Sounds like its Atlanta North's loss (or Dacul...Sounds like its Atlanta North's loss (or Dacula's). There's nothing wrong with your choice to move on. I've felt for several years now that church basically follows the path of the lowest common denominator...that is, appealing to the broadest demographic as possible and not being truly innovative in allowing those who have broken beyond "the box" of what is considered "acceptable" and "the norm." For myself, I've decided to cut back on church attendance to one Sunday a month. The other three Sundays will be focused on my own spiritual path. I guess I'm too loyal to give it up completely, but I wish you all the best.Sansegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499581529539835224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612463220861801418.post-50856511077880333072011-05-26T11:48:37.015-04:002011-05-26T11:48:37.015-04:00Thanks for your kind (and well-spoken) words, Kell...Thanks for your kind (and well-spoken) words, Kelly!
