> ....and you came back? You have gone through a lot. We welcome you with open arms. You called it a 32 week exile. Did you feel like Paul? It's wierd how we learn some of the emotions of life. Have you learned any new ones? I'm working on rejection.
Rayww - my dear friend! 'Tis good to be back amongst the Babblers!Well, I wasn't shipwrecked, nor stoned, nor whipped, nor dragged before the courts... so, no, I can't quite claim Paul's status.
I just enjoyed my marriage having been healed, the joy of having my faith re-foundationalized, the trials of endurding being shunned by my former church and people I thought were friends, worked like a dog to get our house ready to sell, found the home(s) of my dreams, and found a board where I've been merrily posting about the joys of God's gift of married sex!
It's all good!
I'm sorry you're dealing with rejection... from you, or toward you? It's painful either way, but especially to receive... I know it well.
Care to elaborate? You're so good at expressing yourself with words! I enjoy your posts.
If not here, then, through another media, perhaps? I've been told I'm learning to be a better listener...!
Thank you for the open arms... despite all that's been thrown your way (by me), you've not yet shown me one iota of rejection. For that, I treasure you, and thank you!
Shalom, Dena
