My name is Deborah. I am 57 years young and just waking up to the fact that the Gospels were written 70 - 100 years after Jesus was crucified....hmmm...maybe there weren't any angels singing or shepherds watching or magi following a star! Could it be that this was added later on....much later on? Reading Bishop's Spong's books and realizing that they make total sense.....gee, am I a late bloomer or what? Darwin, Galileo .... I am finally getting up to speed! Modern Christian here.....Silence, contemplation, zen.....yeah, now maybe now I can get on with real growth -- more love -- more silence -- more genuine inspirations....from the Spirit!
