HEAVEN!

How has your spirituality changed as you have gotten older?

The spirituality journey is complicated. I was raised a Baptist, then when I was 13 my mom moved us to the Methodist Church. When I went to university, I decided I didn't believe in God anymore and did a lot of reading about Wicca, played with a tarot deck and did lots of dabbling (in a superficial way) in mysticism. Then when I was about 30, my mom (who lived in another state) started going to a charismatic church. I started reading the Bible again and went to a charismatic church myself for a time. I read all sorts of books by Benny Hinn and the like. Decided that all that stuff about healings and naming it and claiming it were too pat for me, got rid of those books. Started going to a Baptist church to try to salvage my failing marriage, or at least my sagging spirit. Buried myself in a cell church I found there. When I got divorced, that church split!

A fallow couple of years ensued. Lately, I've been reading a lot about Western Buddhism. It really resonates with me. It is not dogmatic. It does not seek to answer all the questions. (Or any questions). I am moving toward Buddhism. That's where I am at the moment.

When was the last time you wrote a handwritten letter or note to someone?

Last night...to say goodbye to a dear old lady that was a friend of my Mothers when she was alive, she tried the "world wide internet" and didn't get on with it    The interesting, well, sad thing is, these days it takes me a while to get my hand/wrist writing easily as I keyboard it so much!

What is your worst date story?

When I drove four hours to meet up with a seemingly sweet guy I had meet in my sister's college town. He didn't show up to pick me up at the hotel as planned... I waited and waited and tried calling and got nothing. Finally one of his friends (that I hadn't even met yet) showed up and took me out. Turns out my "date" had a bit too much to drink and was passed out in a truck in a bar parking lot. The friend was nice though, it was his bachelor party weekend so it wasn't a date between us. He was thoughtful and entertaining though, we had a nice time! Too bad for Mr. Dumbass.. pardon my French
