Partying with the Mod-Squad

I think I'm going to write something. Something real. Who knows if, like most of my ventures, it will sputter out and die with my next crazy dream - we'll see. It's going to be 'Partying with the Mod-Squad or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Church.'

I think it's a catchy title. The basic idea is how I will have learned, hopefully, to find peace in my past in the Evangelical church and how I can celebrate their story. I think that it will be [one of] the final step[s] in my catharsis, that is moving out of the modern Evangelical church into whatever I'm moving into. The final step because I will finally (! hopefully) have purged this story (or, rather, the baggage I have that is tied up in this story) out, and I hope that I will be able to step back into it and enjoy it as much as I can enjoy stepping into Orthodox Christianity, Catholic Christianity, Buddhism, whatever. I will finally come to peace with this element of my past, and I will be able to 'party with the mod-squad'.

I also hope that I can be a force of unity and re-unity within this stream of thought that I'm stepping into. To that end, I might look at getting it published, or somehow disseminating it. Maybe I'll just post about it here.
