It is so much like our religious society to judge people who are wandering –wandering between a world of knowing they believe in God but not knowing exactly  how that should play out in their everyday lives; wandering about how to best express their desire to serve God and love God without having to live to a set of do’s and dont’s (i.e. you can’t wear earrings, pants, you can’t drink wine or any alcoholic beverage NO not even one, etc).

I know its difficult for people not to judge, after all, that is the best way they gauge their own spiritual walk but comparing themselves to others right? Not that I advocate this litmus test for spirituality because I don’t but its the truth that I see live out alot by those in so-called religious circles.

I think I am a bit of a wanderer perhaps that is why I like my spiritual community and really can’t see myself any other place. I am ok with not having a traditional service, I am ok sitting on a sofa rather than a pew, I am ok having wine bottles as decoration and the smell of coffee in the air because to me what matters most is the discussion that takes place, the hearing of the voices that make up our small fellowship and how they are receiving what we are sharing and how they are trying to live the life of a disciple every day.

I don’t know about you and how you are living your life, what questions you are asking, what pressure you are under to conform or reform, but I am liberated. I don’t care how people view me, my theology, my philosophy on life or love, because although I am a wanderer I am certainly not lost.
