Whatnot

I have five "I" statements for you:

1) I added a new page element at the top, yeah up there ^, for special notes and news and whatever I want to say but don't want to devote an entire post to or don't want to get lost in the shuffle. Oh yeah, and I moved the Background Switcher to the bottom.

2) I went to The God Journey forums today for the first time (HT Jeff at Under the Grace)- don't know WHY I didn't know about that, and whaddya know, some of my friends are there. You know who you are...why did you never tell me about this! LOL! I've been reading and listening to Wayne for almost 2 years, and somehow I missed it. Cause I'm a blonde, I guess. Duh.

3) I'm working on building a link blog. Yeah, I read so many blogs they need a blog of their own, LOL. (See my comment on this post at John Smulo's place...I don't have a problem. Really.) Seriously, I wanted a space where I can a) compile a list of all the blogs I read, b) compile a list of my favorite links that aren't blogs, c) tell you about them from time to time and d) not bore my faithful readers with my drivel unless they choose to be bored. After a month of research and playing around with various social bookmarking sites and such, I landed on this idea. BTW, this is mostly going to be for blogs and sites that I DON'T interact with/on, but think are interesting, weird or useful. So if you are my friend, don't for one minute think you are being sent away to the boonies...see #4.

4) I also created a link list of Friends in the sidebar over there <--- I'm sorry, I just hadn't gotten around to doing that since my template upgrade. The list may not be complete, so if you think yourself or someone else is missing, please let me know. Anyone who comments here or whose blog I comment on is a Friend. As long as you're nice to me. 5) I'm going to bed now. Have a great night, or day, as it may be.

  1. Hey Erin, are we on the same page or what...
    I just checked out "The God Journey forums" too.
    I followed the link on "Under the Grace".
    It was eye-opening, that's for sure.
    I was reading some of the resources on Spiritual Abuse...whoa.
    I think I am going to have to take it in small bites.
    There was one article, "If your god is not God, fire him!"
    Loved it! And related to it all too well...I'm going to chew on those thoughts today...
    And thanks for marking me as your friend...that's cool.
    Have a great day!

  2. Hehe that's how I found the link, too - Under the Grace. I forgot to HT him tho - better do that.

    I know you'll find some healing there, and the God Journey Podcasts are fantastic and encouraging. If you don't listen to them, you should try to.

    Oh and you're welcome. I immediately related to your blog as soon as I started reading it.

  3. "Hey Erin, you know I love you!" Cynthia sheepishly said as she waved from over at the GodJourney Forums.

  8. Cindy - Have you heard of Wayne Jacobsen, Lifestream or The God Journey? How about a book called "So You Don't want to go to Church Anymore?"


    Well, the place I linked to is just the forums for The God Journey - or more accurately for the people who have appreciated Wayne's (et al's) books/teachings/podcasts.

  10. Cindy - His resources are primarily directed at people who have left church, often due to spiritual abuse. Grace has mentioned him a time or two, not sure if I ever have.

    In any case, his posdcasts are fantastic for anyone, because he's so funny and everything is so grace and love centered. You might try one one day if you have time.
