For My Own Eyes

Not at all!

I am happy. Welll....not all the time, 'cause let's face it, I am still married to an Aspie who's been out of work for 15 months, and you know, like is stressful.

But beyond that, I really am. For 8 years whether or not I was going to hell consumed my every waking thought. (I constantly thought I was, though I worked super-hard to try and prevent that).

Now, I'm somewhat...well...nonchalant about the whole thing. If God wants to send me to hell, that's His call. But I would just as soon not spend my entire life obsessing about it.

I used to think it was about the destination, but I don't anymore. I think it's about the journey. I don't think faith is about knowing all the right answers. I think its about living in the midst of all the questions.

And I think that I have learned that. So words like heathen and reprobate have no sting for me. I am what I am. God is what He is. And together we are what we are.

What's an Aspie?

LOL, that's insider talk for Asperger's Syndrome, which is on the Autism spectrum. More info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger%27s_syndrome

When all is said and done, it just means that his brain works differently than yours or mine does. I read somewhere that 85% of Aspie marriages end in divorce. When I read it, it did NOT surprise me!
