I feel a little better now. I have to say, I really regret using this email-type medium to express my opinions- my thoughts always come out all wrong. It pains me that I have never been able to discuss these things with a live person. It is outrageously difficult to carry on a discussion via internet, and I'd much rather do it in person, but there is no Orthodox church for a good 2 1/2 hours from my home. Therein lies a big problem.
I tend to use a lot of facial expressions etc. when I speak, and, needless to say, that is not something that translates well via words on computer screens.
I'm getting way too stressed out about this. I think I'm going to take a break from all this ecclesiastical craziness, and take a good rest, at least until tomorrow. perhaps then I will clear up some things with you, James. (again! there is an extremely ambiguous statement!! urgh computers!) Maybe I'll go see Fellowship of the Ring again, afterall, I AM a teenager still!
Love in Christ,
Marianne+
