It was really nice of him, and my kid had a great time. <br /><br />I'm not ignoring you. I'll probably send you an email at some point about what I'm thinking about on the path here....I'm a little leery in all of this discussion because in past discussions, I have come to the conclusion that I am a bit like a bull in a china shop, and I find that I am in a china shop more often than I think I am. So I have to figure out how to be a little less of a bull or whether I am still in the china shop...right? <br /><br />And probably more to the point, this is a really busy week. We are having as guests "A Circle of Quiet" and family and going to LA to see the Getty exhibit of the icons from Sinai, then to LegoLand in SD...so it will be a few days of busyness! <br /><br />Take care, though, and have a wonderful week.Patty in WA or Roverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215707718602382627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-1311058712731574602007-02-02T17:31:00.000-06:002007-02-02T17:31:00.000-06:00Patty--

(Better ask my husband before I order it!)<br /><br />It sounds like you're interested in many of the same things as we are. I'd love to hear your story or background, if you want to share it. (Email is fine if you'd rather not do so here.)<br /><br />THANKS again for the recommendations!<br /><br />JeanneAt A Hen's Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244490539003130874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-22434762564958248992007-02-02T00:52:00.000-06:002007-02-02T00:52:00.000-06:00Leave it to you to have read it.

It's called "The Cloistered Home", by David Robinson. Some very interesting ideas in there.<br /><br />God bless you.Patty in WA or Roverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215707718602382627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-77075157504500655552007-02-02T00:32:00.000-06:002007-02-02T00:32:00.000-06:00Patty--

I haven't got very far, I confess, because my husband keeps borrowing it back--I need to get it back from him again.<br /><br />I'll take a look at the blog you mentioned. We really respect Orthodox theology.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your suggestions!<br /><br />JeanneAt A Hen's Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244490539003130874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-66539161598579840912007-02-02T00:12:00.000-06:002007-02-02T00:12:00.000-06:00Take a look at the book "The Spirit of Early Chris...Take a look at the book "The Spirit of Early Christian Thought" to understand what all Christians once believed. It's by Robert Louis Wilken, and is accessible to the lay theologian.<br /><br />Take a look at the blog http://fatherstephen.wordpress.com/ for some wonderfully refreshing words about what you are talking about.

I am reading The Genesee Diary:Report from a Trappist Monastery by Henri J.M. Nouwen...and I am really captured by it..this was one of my favorite musings :"The spiritual life does not consist of any special thoughts, ideas, or fellings but is contained in the most simple ordinary experiences of everyday living."... or...living simply ;) I never heard of the book '..Minivan Monastery"...but i so understand the concept ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
