After posting my article about my fear of death yesterday and praying a lot about it, I came across a wonderful website called “Jesus Without Baggage.” I’ve never seen another site like it and I’ve been on it now since last night, just reading and learning. I can’t get enough.
I never thought I could reconcile my inability to believe in a judgmental, angry, legalistic God with a belief in Christ, but now I think I might be able to, all because of this website. It answers questions no one else has ever been able to answer before and addresses concerns I’ve had for a long time that “reading the Bible” only made worse (mostly because of the way it’s been misinterpreted and misrepresented by legalistic, narcissistic preachers and church leaders in order to exert “control”).
If you’re like me and want to have a relationship with Jesus but are completely turned off by fundamentalist Christianity, this is the site for you. I truly believe God answered my prayers by bringing me to this site so I want to share it with my readers too.

Even more interesting, the topic at mass today was “God is Love.”
I’ll be posting a new guest post in a little while.
I can’t find the article about the fear of death?
What brought it on? Did it had something to do with Prince passing away?

No (although I did post about Prince’s death too). It’s actually the post called “The Ultimate Dissociation” fro 4/22 (the post before this one).

Thanks, Amanda! I’m just now working on your guest piece, will have it up today. But I need to know what you were actually diagnosed with (or think you have) so I can tag it correctly in the post. Your blog says Mood Disorder–should I put that? Or is Depression more appropirate?
Thank you for the nomination! 🙂

Probably Depression with Severe Fatigue is the best Diagnosis. Thanks 🙂

Isn’t it awesome? I spent ALL WEEKEND over there! I agree with EVERYTHING on it! Finally, Christianity that doesn’t feel like judgment and shame. I think love is what Jesus was really all about and this guy has nailed it. Jesus would be proud, I think.
