Dear Judith Anne,

I don't know if you remember having a brief discussion with me, about my making a spiritual journey and finding myself years later, back where I had begun.

The driving force of that journey was often the behavior of the actions of the different churches. I am not talking about the different religions, but the people, the churches.

It was because of the people in those churches I took that long atheist sabbatical which turned out to be a search for God.

I don't visit the religion threads too often. The few times I have two things happen. First I am reminded of my spiritual journey and the painful people who tried to drive me away from God in their zealotry. Second, my gratitude for the journey and the one pearl I asked God for and was given...wisdom. It is the one request God promises to give us if we ask, pray for wisdom. James 1:5.

And so my FRiend, take a sabbatical. It is OK to do that. Seek God's promises and I hope to see you soon.
