Cris,
It has been several months since we last communicated. I have been looking for new posts from you in anticipation of some topics you had indicated you were working on. Still looking forward to those.
There have been some significant changes in my life. I was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The Mormons) earlier this month. I have hundreds of reasons for selecting that denomination. It has been a real journey for me. My wife is still a Buddhist and my joining has produced some interesting challenges.
Hope you are well and postured for enjoying the holidays.
Regards,
Gordon
Gordon, first of all, my apologies. In the past few months, I haven’t done any writing at all. I’ve posted a few photos on one of my photo blogs, and that’s about it.
I know a little about the Mormons. I can imagine that would be quite a challenge, having a Buddhist wife. Of course, I don’t know what challenges you faced having a Buddhist wife before this baptism.
I’m always curious. What made you decide to be baptized a Mormon. I know you said you had a hundred reasons. Maybe list two or three prominent reasons and, if you like, you can email me directly for the rest. : ) I am really curious.
I’ve been trying to encourage myself to get on the writing ball lately, but as yet, I haven’t succeeded, although I did do some work on the juvenile novel I started over ten years ago and got side-tracked, like I do with most things.
As I can’t find my email anywhere on my site, I’ll give it here—not likely anyone but you will find it anyway. cris47@windstream.net
It’s great hearing from you. I definitely need to get on the ball. I haven’t finished my “10 Things I Learned from Three Failed Marriages” on one of my other blogs yet, either.
Be looking forward to hearing from you.
Gordon, I hope my curiosity didn’t offend you. I’m by nature curious and sometimes I’m not very tactful.
I wish you well always in your new religion and with your wife. Continue to accept her for what she is and love her just the same. I just hope she will do the same for you.
Good luck and God speed. He will help you.
