    We've got the Saturday evening vigil option if there's something going on on Sunday, though I'll miss a Sunday now and again. It's a loving, rather socially and politically active congregation like the one I grew up in ( my parents used our microbus for shuttles to D.C. marches from the church parking lot and we learned "four dead in Ohio" in music class...) - I can fully understand those who can't stomach the hierarchy but sometimes there are pockets of devout defection.
    I knew I was prob'ly in a rightful place when the first sermon included the words "menstrual period" (explaining just how radical it was to hang out with those unclean women in New Testament times).

    I once attended, drifted away, came back and drifted away again. There are many things I love about my religion and many things I don't. I was raised that I could believe without having to attend an organized service. I know some will agree with this and others will shake their heads in sadness. I do have some of my best conversations with the Lord while I'm on my bike. More often than not I feel like a huge, heavy weight has been lifted from my shoulders by the time I make it home. I know I'm being heard, I know I'm being guided and I know I'm loved so life is good, very good.
