Janice,

Doug and I will take a vote and see whether or not we’ll let you hang around…

Of course you are welcome here! Oh, that the world had more faithful people with hearts and the willingness to mentor others! I will look forward to dialoging with you about addiction work, as this has become a growing passion of mine.

I’m more of a mentor than counselor. So if you need to kick me out, no hard feelings.
I do my best to encourage all people, especially those who struggle with addictions.
I must check out ”Conversations”
And Doug…thanks for clarifying that pic..I must say, I’ve been wondering.

I love it. Maybe you should change the group name to Nutjobs Only: A Community for Those in Need of Counseling! LOL

Well, for now, Doug – consider the temporary group avatar change official confirmation that you are in the right group! ;P

Doug,

I sure am glad Palmore and company cast their nets wide to bring in weirdos like us! If I can figure out how to add pictures to our group, I’ll post a couple of the real me at church camp. And on a more serious note,

I hereby absolve you of your transgression against your self and your community for not having read or heard of Conversations journal. Here is their website: http://www.conversationsjournal.com/

Obviously, we are all different, and so different things really speak to us and inspire us. Having said that, Conversations has been hands-down the most meaningful journal or magazine I have personally encountered. They actually have several of their first issues available for free .pdf download on their site. The best way I could describe it is an ecumenical intersection of Christ-followers passionate about spiritual formation.
