I think in our intense fervor as teenagers to live a faith, that kind of life holds appeal, but is not sustainable. You were brave to leave as I surmised that brought shame. I was excited to see you lived near where I'm from- Ohio and New York. I try to live as Brother Lawrence, among the pots and pans,Deuteronomy 6 in raising my girls. You said it very well.
