Just thought I would share a link to this online book I have been reading called Jake Colsen. I've found it to be probably the most spiritually freeing and liberating thing I've ever read. God knows the paralyzing effect religion (by this I do not mean Jesus) has had on my life. I want to marinate in it and soak it into my being. To really experience God's love and have it for others would be amazing. There's a podcast series too called The God Journey. I wish I was more awake feeling to say more. Yaaawwwwnnnn. My head is not so clear yet. But I really did just want to share these resources with you, my friends.
P.S. While checking my links, I realized that the book is actually called "So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore". I like the title they used for the German version better which translates as "The Cry of the Wild Geese: Setting Out for a Free Life in Christ Beyond Religion and Tradition". :)Wild geese!
Wow. Cool title from the German version! Reminds me very much of the power of the Celtic symbol of God as the Wild Goose.
So, Cheryl, is the Whitehouse clan any closer to your Texodus??
I'm praying for you all.
Peace of our Risen Savior, to and your whole clan, Sister Cheryl!

Hey Brother Rich,
My thoughts too upon seeing the words "wild geese" and probably the author's too. But it isn't a common American association (wild goose=Holy Spirit). Maybe it is more so in Germany? Don't know.
Yes, we are hoping our time in Texile will be over soon. Richard liked the NW. He is applying for jobs. I probably should blog about it.
Peace to you too.
