Peggy grew up in a hardcore Southern Baptist home, and even she was shocked by the rigidity of the Church of Christ. Now, we’re both atheists. As for your other question about my interest in church, I’ve put scores—or more—of hours into blogging about just that, so it’s a bit much to go into here.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478470125662290860.post-1509425570934204012016-02-07T20:16:28.175-05:002016-02-07T20:16:28.175-05:00Not up on the fundamentalist churches Snow.

However there is a small strip of gravel that I balanced myself on as I crossed over. I did cringe as I saw a bike ride on the wet glass but it managed to stay upright.<br /><br />Thanks Snow. Some people without a Blogger account have to post as anonymous but as long as they write their names, I am fine with it. Kris is a reader of both our blogs and is a very thoughtful person. Sorry you get hateful comments, I do too occasionally but some of your posts are fairly controversial. I don't agree with everything you say but I appreciate the well written arguments you pose. I especially enjoyed your transition from Southern Baptist to your current beliefs though remain puzzled why you want to join a church whose tenets you only partially embrace. But you have not written of that in a while so I assume you have moved on.<br />Sue in Italia/In the Land Of Cancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146373251097877539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478470125662290860.post-55961782595887860132016-02-05T14:30:54.607-05:002016-02-05T14:30:54.607-05:00Sue, I enjoyed the photos and am thrilled by your ...Sue, I enjoyed the photos and am thrilled by your good news about your teeth.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478470125662290860.post-6666870320226778282016-02-05T14:13:10.175-05:002016-02-05T14:13:10.175-05:00Some lovely images here.
