That's a great question, Casey. I don't know the answer. If you've done the research and are pretty sure the organization is sketchy (do people still use that word?), you might give Guidestar or Charity Navigator a call and ask what they recommend. Maybe they've already heard something. Word of mouth has been known to work, as well! Thanks for reading, glad the information was helpful.
Ooo...good question. Yes, I meant internal fights. Asking big questions usually creates an internal argument for all possible answers. The most intense arguments come when I either don\'t want, or am afraid to change my previously-held belief. How do you experience challenging new questions?
Thanks for your support, Tarah. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks, Tarah. I need the reminder of life and hope today! What kind of woodworking do you and your husband do? I'd love to see one of your projects.
I\'ve thought about your question a bit, and don\'t think there\'s an answer. If I think of Christianity as a culture and not a religion, turning from it wouldn\'t be turning away from Christ. I definitely have turned my back on certain aspects of cultural Christianity, but others I have embraced more than ever before. If I chose to turn my back on the religion of Christianity, then I probably would be turning away from Jesus. Lots to ponder here.
Those are many of the same emotions I felt in that dream. I think those are appropriate emotions, but I still wish they weren\'t happening.
Welcome to the neighborhood!
Dianne, It was a pleasure to meet you as well! Thanks for taking the time to read my blog, I\'m honored to share glimpses of life with you. To continue the analogy, Valleys can produce some great growth, but an Oasis certainly carries peaceful beauty. I pray that your years in the Valley will continue to be redeemed. Grace and Peace to you.
Thanks! As you can see, writing hasn't happened much in recent weeks. It'll be there soon, I'm sure. I appreciate the encouragement.
We're riding the same wave, I think.
