It's fun to see more people stopping by, and more comments beats straight up higher numbers every time.<br /><br />It's been interesting to me that our blogs are really fairly different animals but that we gravitate to so many similar topics, often at the same time. Great minds, I suppose...but really, it's a real pleasure batting ideas around with you, and your faith (um...) in this project from the start is much appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377750317384479713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583274002388670284.post-50193505400014129212012-01-30T07:47:07.251-08:002012-01-30T07:47:07.251-08:00Meghan!

Your writing is wonderful, and I am glad that more and more people are coming to it. Congrats.<br /><br />Another superb post. I love this one. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. <br /><br />As often as I have written on the subject of religious faith, I don't think I have ever explained away prayer as beautifully, and devastatingly, as you do here. So thanks also for that. If I was to steal this vein of thought from you, which I surely will at some point, and you see something along the lines of "prayer is a complete abdication of social and ethical responsibility," know that I'm really quoting you.<br /><br />Love ya,Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541484882834441713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583274002388670284.post-56012746719640334802012-01-25T16:09:41.748-08:002012-01-25T16:09:41.748-08:00Your clutter is always a delight, clutter away!

Brava. And bummer about your Dad. I think you're right about the miraculous recovery, only slightly worse off than before. <br /><br />And one other thing (at risk of cluttering up your comments). It occurred to me recently the reason we all like living so much, even when life is otherwise crappy-- and why we have happiness and laughter-- is that's how we're wired to experience the world. We're hardwired for joy, and all we need to do is look for it. It works whether we're secular or not. It's like that happiness we're responsible for you spoke of. <br /><br />This is an excellent post that made me think.

I am in a similar place. When I'm having a rough day being a mom to two young kiddos, when I'm missing my freedom or just grumpy about something, I keep having this thought about the little arrow on a map that says "you are here". Somehow that allows me to pull back and have a little perspective. I don't know if I'm making sense but wanted you to know I enjoyed your post... <br /><br />Also, I'm sorry to hear about your dad.<br /><br />~Lynn S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
