Hi Spinning Compass, just read a few of your blog entries and thoughts. i too have a Catholic background and was a regular church goer until recently in my life of almost 60years. I think you're in your 50s too, is that correct? I like the way you write about church and scripture, faith and practice. I can also see something in your comments on relationships. I'm an Aspie man, married about 12 years. In my bad moods I am told that i am belligerent and antagonistic. Just checked these words out and found they are much stronger than I thought. This is the most negative aspect of my Aspergers, being in bad moods, which happens too often and in a cycle. I am going to a specialist therapist which helps but meanwhile my wife cops it at home. Other close friends have copped a blast of belligerent and antagonistic stuff from me in the past and they have moved on or kept a good distance. Perhaps I should paste this in a blog. Doing that now. Let's see what response I get. Anyway Just saying hi!
