I know i've been away for quite some time.  I do pop up to comment on friend's blogs.  But really, I have not managed to sit still and collect a thought to write down.  Even as I write this, I don't really have somewhere I intend this entry to go.

I've been having some sleep difficulty.  Sunday through Thursday, I manage very little sleep, but still have to get up and function at work.  Friday night i pass out and sleep through most of Saturday.  This past Friday I woke up with a massive headache and I actually called out of work.  I hate taking sick days.  I just couldn't open my eyes. 

I do feel better today.  I am looking forward to church services tomorrow, a sermon on our 4th principle, "A free and responsible search for truth and meaning."  I really like that one.  I like them all, really.  I find that I'm drawn to spiritual practices that really focus on the common sense aspect of how we relate to each other.  But it's no cake walk, let me tell you!  I find that I'm more challeged to let go of my prejudices (yes, i have them) through fostering free thought than I have ever been in my life. 

I am trying very much to let go of my issues with Christians.  Now, i apologize in advance if i have any Christian readers stopping by here.  Its not all Christians, or Christianity in its basic element.  It simply makes my skin crawl when someone insists they KNOW the truth.  There is only one thing I'm sure that I know to be truth when it comes to spirituality: You're not right, and I'm not either.  So why don't you just leave me alone and save the condecending tone for someone who needs it?

I digress, and in doing so i've provided my case in point.  I really shouldn't feel that way, because it takes all kinds of religions to provide spiritual food for all kinds of people.  What works for you will likely not work for me.  If what you believe is making you a better version of yourself, then i say "GOOD FOR YOU!"  I just need to let go of feeling personally attacked by those who suggest I'm going to hell. 

Any advice on how to let go of that??
