Mich has a bad attitude.

Mich is feeling contentious.

Mich is on the slippery slope.

Mich is the poster child for distgruntled Christians.

Mich is talking about herself in the third person.

I am feeling very very emotionally drained right now. I was reading "The Ragamuffin Gospel" by Brennan Manning during my lunch hour, and I feel like I spent the whole hour crying.

Between that, and all the junk coming to the surface with the Church attendance thread, and the obey them thread, I feel kinda emotionally numb right now.

I was reading alot about trust, which is obviously one of my main issues. Some good quotes from what I read during lunch


Quote:
The disciple living by grace rather than law has undergone a decisive conversion - a turning from mistrust to trust.
Quote:
The tendency in legalistic religion is to mistrust God, to mistrust others, and consequently to mistrust ourselves. Allow me to become personal for a moment. Do you really believe that the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is gracious, that He cares about you? Do you really believe that He is always, unfailingly present to you as companion and support? Do you really believe that God is love?

Or have you learned to fear this loving and gracious Father? ...
... Have you learned to think of the Father as the judge, the spy, the disciplinarian, the punisher?
Quote:
Maybe this is the heart of our hang-up, the root of our dilemma. We fluctuate between castigating ourselves and congratulating ourselves because we are deluded into thinking we save ourselves. We develop a false sense of security from our good works and scrupulous observance of the law. Our halo gets too tight and a carefully-disguised attitude of moral superiority results. Or, we are appalled by our inconsistency, devastated that we haven't lived up to our lofty expectations of ourselves. The roller coaster ride of elation and depression continues.

Michlow, the main thing is your relationship witb Jesus.
Forget the other things for now.

When I married my wife, we didn't sit down and go over a "Wedding Contract" about what I will or won't do.

I love her and that is the basis for why I do what I do.
Your love for Jesus and your relationship with Jesus should be the same thing.

JMHO

Praying for you.

If it bothers you to read a thread, it can help restore part of your sanity.

I cannot vouch it will restore all sanity.
