Wow.<BR/><BR/>And it was SO lovely to meet you in person a few weeks ago at my "house"! What a treat for my congregation. I still smile when I think about it!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779463691582868798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-46468456857129858042008-07-14T20:29:00.000-07:002008-07-14T20:29:00.000-07:00I'm definitely understanding much better the warni...I'm definitely understanding much better the warnings they gave us in seminary: have friends outside your church. If I didn't have a lovely group of friends in the community, I would spend all my time on church stuff. My congregants are lovely people and I like spending time with them, but I'm always "ON" and that's wearing.<BR/><BR/>I sympathize with you who are basically introverts forced by circumstance to act like extroverts! It's hard enough on an extrovert to be an extrovert all the time!Lilylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328027965155428624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-32436111466089741982008-07-14T20:01:00.000-07:002008-07-14T20:01:00.000-07:00Yesterday at church, someone was talking about wha...Yesterday at church, someone was talking about what a relief it is to come to church on Sunday, to be with UUs. They work all week in the land of conservative Christians who are so assured that their way is the only way, in politics, religion, everything, so coming to church is a real treat for them. I listened to this, still reeling from GA and my work that has me immersed in all things UU, all the time. I couldn't help but scoff a bit when I heard our church thought of as an oasis. I am not an extrovert, so the whole GA experience in and of itself is so draining for me, while at the same time, energizing. Is that possible? Long way of saying: I think you are definitely on to something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-11180215662941486422008-07-14T17:51:00.000-07:002008-07-14T17:51:00.000-07:00I do think that may be part of it, all right.

When I came home, I didn't want to talk on the phone to ANYONE. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if being an extrovert is like that ... that it becomes so much of your job to be an extrovert, that when you're "off," you don't want to be "on."<BR/><BR/>Having nothing to do with that, I've come to realize that I am an introvert in an extrovert's body.Rev Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495907966950426682noreply@blogger.com
