Sun., April 2
Resist or Befriend or What?
Last week we began to explore the differences in understanding sin as Eight Bad Thoughts rather than The Seven Deadly Sins. We asked ourselves this question: what is it that pulls me out of myself, of my connectedness to the world, of my flow in God's Love?
So, are you paying attention? What pops you out of the flow? Is it busyness? Technology? Anxiety about your child? Political despair or anger? What is it? See if you can name it. (And for me it's about a dozen things -- and that's just off the top of my head!)
This week, we are going to talk about what to do with that "thing" -- that demon or temptation that pops you out of yourself. Do we run? Take cover? Stay and Fight? Or, is there some other way?
I can't wait to see what you think. If you notice something powerful, send me an email. We have a lot we can learn from each other.
Grace and peace to you all,
Katie
