I think I posted this link elsewhere on this board, but this is the right place, so here's a little bit about moi.

I'm so glad I didn't take my Bible and go home too soon, because I am finding some wonderful saints on this board and I'm so pleased I happened upon it (surely by HIS Grace).
In the name of Christ Jesus our LORD and Savior, the Head of His Body Whose members we are, and Who is at the right hand of the Father, and is surely about to STAND UP to receive the crowns and accolades for which only HE IS WORTHY!
Amen,
apilgrim2

MEEE TOOO!
When I saw you say you were leaving I prayed the Lord for you! haha
It's important to have sweet fellowship with the Saints!
For we see glimpses of our Lord in each and every one!

Sister Pat . . . While I do have a fascination with language in general, I do not speak French . . . I DO love to hear it spoken, and if I could fit twenty-eight hours in a 24hr day I would learn to speak Greek, Hebrew, French, and perhaps Italian.
I am delighted to meetcha, Ma'am!
I have an article I wrote that I'd like to share with you, but I fear it is perhaps too radical to post on a reader-board. If you have no aversion to receiving e-mail from recently met saints, and there are no restrictions in place by Christian BBS, I'd send it your way that way. Feel free to decline by ignoring the question altogether if you like.

Hello,
I apologize if I’m doing this wrong. I’m just looking to hang out with some believers. I suppose I could do that at church too, but places like this are just easier.
I came from a background that most would consider pretty strange. Of course we all come to Christ from our own little sub-cultures –whatever they are. Some come out of a life of clubbing, or more intellectual sub-cultures but we all get redeemed into Christ. Me- I used to dance a lot at Goth clubs and I still love dancing. I would hang out with pagans, Wiccans, and folks of various “alternative spiritual paths.” I loved going to Ren-faires and staying for the after party, especially if they had a drum circle. I’ve gone camping at the Gathering, ran lights for a band at Burning Man, and danced round the Beltane fire. Like I said – pretty strange and dark.
Now you might well think that some sub-cultures are more dangerous than others and you’d be right. The Lord rescued me from that darkness and I don’t miss it. I am now a member of an incredibly supportive church family in Dallas. They have a Single Parent Family ministry and a recovery ministry that has helped in my healing so much. With so much normalcy and support you think I’d be perfectly comfortable there, but the truth is I’m restless. I don’t miss the darkness, or the danger, and I certainly don’t miss the set of expectations that went with the lifestyle. I have to admit that I do miss hanging out with freaks.
Is that strange – to miss the people? I miss their craziness and their humor. I miss their attitude. – If someone were to suddenly decide to put a candle on their head and start dancing around like a loony, no one would bat an eye or even interrupt the conversation. In fact they’d be more likely to join them than do anything else. With neurologically a-typical friends, all manner of weirdness became acceptable so long as you didn’t hurt anyone. That’s what I miss. Hanging out with straight, cool, intelligent, normal people is safe and sweet but, honestly sometimes it exhausts me.
So, am I the only wierdo who feels like this? Surely there are other believers whom Christ has rescued, that perhaps find themselves running low on “normal” from time to time.

Welcome, Tamara.
You can be a Christian have fun. Just put a candle on your head and dance in your living room. Seriously, my family is a bunch of weird-0s who love the Lord.

For the record, I have no desire to dance about with my hair on fire - but I have seen similar displays. (Many involving fire, come to think of it.) I’m just wondering if other people out there get worn out by the mainstream life like I do. For so much of my life I’ve had to be careful not to “weird the mundanes” or “spook the straights.” Now I AM a mundane. I like it in that I’m surrounded by loving brethren and sistren. It just wears me out sometimes, then I start to feel lonely.

Greetings,
I live in New Orleans where my wife and I run a Bed and Breakfast.
My hobbies are literature, my three cats and sampling the delicious food of Southern Louisiana.
I also enjoy old-school Jazz music ( I am a huge fan of Chet Baker). I have tried several Christian discussion boards, but so far they have all been disappointing to me. There's so much anger and outright hostility out there on the Internet.
I am searching for a place where reasonable adults can have a civil discussion, even though they might not agree on all things.
I hope this place is it.
Port

I believe were restless because we are not doing all we are meant to do. We are holding back because people might think were crazy. If you feel weird because of it join the world. If not take that adventure God is calling you too. If you can't do what your vision is yet don't lose hope. There's a time for everything and we are in the last days.
We need more people to be all out for God. To lead that life committed fully to the leading of the Holy Spirit. God sometimes asks great things and then he sometimes makes small things great. Whatever he is asking take the calling, and do it with his blessing. Praise God from whom All blessings flow.
