I too grew up Catholic and agree with your comments. I'm anxious to find his daily postings. Thanks!<br /><br />Also are you related to Mark Cherry from Edmond?

We graduated in 1972.<br /><br />Love ya<br />Freddi BoothFreddi Boothnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363962141957926826.post-90954522450078680282011-03-27T12:36:07.688-05:002011-03-27T12:36:07.688-05:00Cathy, I get Richard Rohr's daily devotionals ...Cathy, I get Richard Rohr's daily devotionals and read them every morning. A few times I don't exactly get what he's saying, but most of the time when I read his devotional, I go YES! It is so encouraging. I read one time that you really understand a writing or hearing someone speak when you've already experienced what you're reading or hearing, but haven't formed words for it. That causes the big YES! I do that often with him. <br /><br />Becky,that's so interesting about your kids and their church memberships. Sounds like they've all found their individual places and niches. And to be encouraged by proud parents.

Can you believe I don't have a Baptist kid? Two belong to a charismatic church, 1 to an independent church and next week, I get to attend my son-in-law's ordination as an Anglican priest. And I couldn't be prouder!!Becky Dietzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267931062208654627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363962141957926826.post-29047462688614720722011-03-26T09:03:28.116-05:002011-03-26T09:03:28.116-05:00My home group is going through Richard Rohr's ...My home group is going through Richard Rohr's <i>The Naked Now</i>. I don't think we've ever done a study that was as thought-provoking or has generated as much discussion. After finishing that book (couldn't stand it...I had to 'read ahead') I began <i>Everything Belongs</i>. <br /><br />As someone who would likely be labeled "a mature Christian" I deeply appreciate Rohr's writings. They aren't formulaic and don't attempt to simplify. Instead, they talk about a God way bigger than most of us ever really dare to believe.Cathy_Hhttp://randomcathy.comnoreply@blogger.com
