It's really inspiring to hear about you two exploring this together and working it into your family fabric. I know that I would like my children to have some sort of religious background and guidance so this has helped me think about how hubby and I need to share it first :)<br />xoxo LinzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111388546348429358.post-42874181442286964272012-03-14T13:10:10.293-07:002012-03-14T13:10:10.293-07:00I'm sure I speak for all your non-believing fr...I'm sure I speak for all your non-believing friends when I say I respect you & Gary way too much to ever poop all over your blog regarding a difference in beliefs. I'm an atheist, not a mean girl! ;) That said, it's totally lovely whenever a couple can tear themselves away from a glowing screen and actually talk to each other. Rick & I have been making a concerted effort to do this more, in general, and we're always so happy when we do. It's like, you know you're with the right person when you can always have awesome conversations, and learn things together, and be excited about the future you're going to spend together!kd_ringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463447697966616135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111388546348429358.post-53349900444166917712012-03-14T12:53:19.412-07:002012-03-14T12:53:19.412-07:00jen...love this. i have been facing some incredib...jen...love this. i have been facing some incredibly hard stuff myself, and what has helped me more than anything has been my therapy, and my meditation practice, about which i feel much the same as you do religion. one of my favorite lessons from the philosophy that roots my meditation practice (and therapy, for that matter) is the remembrance that: <br /><br />I’m not like you.<br />I’m something like you.<br />I’m nothing but you.<br /><br />All three are true all of the time. <br /><br />love you,<br />sSaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643950763239997419noreply@blogger.com
