I went to my monthly women’s meeting last night. The usual suspect were there. I really like these women. I always leave with a smile and a promise to be back next month. I usually talk at these meetings, but last night I listened more. What I noticed was the sincerity of these women. The main topic was “No prayer goes unanswered.” Each person had a personal experience about how their prayer was answered, but not in the way they expected. These were some very personal and in some cases, devastating experiences, but they all could see how their prayers were answered. Their discussion of other religions, philosophy, psychology, literature and art is so refreshing.
In the SGI, we are having a study exam this month. It is an introductory exam with 20 multiple choice questions. The study guide is comprehensive and it should be relatively easy to pass this thing. A few of the women at the meeting said they were not taking it. That started another discussion about study. I think we “encouraged” them to take the exam.
One of the women kept talking about blogging. “you should blog about that.” “Where is there a blog for this stuff?” I kept my mouth shut. I love fwp, but it is definitely not for everyone.
