From EK's comments:
I appreciate the prayers! I love my Jesus-goggles, and I can see that
what you are doing is going to turn out O.K. in the end. I also can see
why those of a neo-pagan mindset would totally not "get it". We may
have underestimated the ability that this level of controversy would
cause your family. No amount of traffic is worth it. Peace has it's
price. There was a reason the holy of holies was veiled in the
tabernacle. Some things are left veiled. If Moses would have removed
his veil when he came off the mountain, there would have been a
blinding light of the Shekinah glory that overwhelmed those around him.
In the same way, we veil that which is sacred. At 24 the veil comes off
more often than it should, and others are blinded, confused and angry.
I encourage the veil to remain for a while. Come apart and rest awhile.
Re: Zhuh?
Jesus-goggles?
Maybe if I wear them that mess might make more sense.
That made my head hurt.
And... OMGLOOKATTHEPUPPIES!
This is just painful. Why try to bring in Judaism into the Jesus-Goggle talk? Leave the Holy of Hollies out of it. Leave Shekhina out of it. Just live in your rose-tinted world and leave us neo-pagans out of your conversations.
She sounds like a Jew For Jesus to me. Choose 1, mixing the two just gets confusing.
EK =/= Moses
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
