I'm glad that you found freedom from SGM, and I'm glad that you found grace. You write beautifully to call other people out of the darkness, too.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842674051346091248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131455314616817615.post-9356656381444638692016-09-07T12:16:08.562-04:002016-09-07T12:16:08.562-04:00I did read A Measure of Light, months ago now, and...I did read A Measure of Light, months ago now, and I really enjoyed it. Mary Dyer was so fervent and broken. You've seen those quizzes on Facebook about what religion or denomination you should be, right? I'm a United Methodist, but always get sorted into the Quakers when I take that sort of quiz. I have some difficulty with authority. :DEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15964459942491591191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131455314616817615.post-2211810864638470472016-08-09T19:33:13.446-04:002016-08-09T19:33:13.446-04:00Thank you, Virginia, for your wonderful writing, h...Thank you, Virginia, for your wonderful writing, honesty, and transparency. <br /><br />I so appreciate your candor and stopping by your blog for whatever interesting thing you have to say. <br /><br />I too am out of a NeoCalvinist church and what a nightmare that was. I've never seen so many dear Christians - men and women - excommunicated and shunned for trumped up reasons. Myself included. Love can't exist in that kind of environment. <br /><br />Thanks again for a safe place to read.<br /><br />"Velour" (my screen name on The Wartburg Watch blog, Spiritual Sounding Board, and others)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131455314616817615.post-18306401554338865552016-05-09T07:31:19.882-04:002016-05-09T07:31:19.882-04:00Thanks, Dad!

So now, Virginia you've taken Dorothy's place as the oldest grandma present. Keep it that way. <br />You're doing great at it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142016637477957023noreply@blogger.com
