But I do feel there is a good feeling in my ward and I am uplifted by being there.<br /><br />What you would find is me! I am not the same at church as I am (was) at your home. I am outgoing and friendly and gregarious and fun-loving and touchy-feely and anything but reserved. I don't know why, but I get turned on and tuned in and feed off the energy of it all.<br /><br />I am sorry that you are so frustrated, and not uplifted. I am so sorry that the frustration comes right now in many forms. I'm so sorry that your leaders have been pretty jerky in the way they've treated you and Scott. However, I can promise you that certain leaders in my ward would most definitely not treat you that way! <br /><br />I'm not there yet where I've got it all figured out... I don't really think I'll ever figure this out. But I do feel uplifted and renewed and and feel myself trying to extend myself and being a more real and natural person. I've given up the pretenses of some who don't "get me". Hey, I don't get me so how can I expect others to?<br /><br />Big Beck hugs...Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159223254071653666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26181705.post-16231965461304791152010-07-07T15:45:39.768-06:002010-07-07T15:45:39.768-06:00Beautiful photo, Beck.

Even when I do go to church, it is not usually uplifting and encouraging, just frustrating.<br /><br />Maybe I should come to your ward! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765524620705643823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26181705.post-46893921849772745422010-07-07T08:10:37.553-06:002010-07-07T08:10:37.553-06:00It is so interesting to me that I can post an entr...It is so interesting to me that I can post an entry on naked guys wrapped in a flag, thinking it immature and inappropriate to do so, and I get half a dozen comments back...<br /><br />Meanwhile, I post a reflective calm post about the Sabbath with a photo of a sunset that I took in the Carribean and get absolutely no response!<br /><br />Now what's up with that?<br /><br />Maybe I should post more photos of naked guys to get responses and be less reflective? <br /><br />Or better yet, maybe I should post photos of me in my speedo on that beach? hehe...<br /><br />On second thought, that idea may turn everyone away from ever posting again on my blog!Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159223254071653666noreply@blogger.com
