Transitions

OK, enough of that. For 12 years, I wrote from the heart for my church's newsletter, but I can now submit so few of them here. Some of them were "event specific," like the one I wrote in response to the Los Angeles street riot in 1992 or the troops going to Kuwait in 1991. Others were related to holidays or special activities like Vacation Bible School or the National Day of Prayer. Maybe I'll still work some of those in when it's appropriate to the calendar. However, most of the ones I feel uncomfortable sharing now are about thoughts and feelings that seem foreign to who I am today, even more so than many of the ones I've already posted!

As a young adult, my naiveté and idealism were even more pronounced than they are now! It was easier to see my world in black and white, and life's issues seemed simpler. But I've lived a little while since then, and I've found things a lot more complicated than I had anticipated! It's been about 15 years since I wrote for the newsletter, and let's just say that the Janni Journey has taken some twists and turns. Somehow, the mushroom seems just right.

Here begins a new chapter of posts.
