In reading your post, I am so envious of your church. I battle with Christianity DAILY, I'm still working on accepting what Christ is. In my Bible study last Tuesday I can REALLY close, but I cannot believe that this is the only way or that scripture is literal.

At the same time, I have to hear talk that infers that Obama is the anti-Christ, and that the world was DEFINITELY created in 6 days, 10,000 years ago, and that science is ungodly.  This drives me nuts and it keeps me from arm's length at people who could be my sisters.

My old church was conservative-evangelical, but it had a different feel. I cannot explain, but we had the most gifted preacher I've ever heard in my life. We try to attend but it's an hour away and it's tough, plus we can't really be part of the community at that distance.

So I've been missing Sundays and that's fine by me. Sometimes I get a little, but I get way too much of that squirm feeling that made me abandon Catholicism as a kid.  Ah well, maybe God is leading me but I'm not sure where.  Thank you for your post.
