I believe going to a church, Buddhist temple, synagogue or where ever you meet people who are practicing the same things you believe is a wonderful place to be. I just came back from a Men’s retreat this weekend and had a fabulous time meeting other men. I made a few new acquaintances that I am sure will turn into friendships. There is nothing like going to a Christian church service or Zen practice session and knowing people there when you walk in.
I am sorry to hear of your divorce and cancer MyDog. By the Grace of God it sounds like you’ve been able to heal one problem and now starting to heal the other.
As a Christian who practices Zen, you are in the right place.
Oh, and by the way, if you want to meet a nice, loyal and beautiful woman, try getting involved with a non-denominational Christian church. I belong to a “Willow Creek Association Church” and absolutely love it. You will be surprised at how much the format has changed. Find one near you Willow Creek.
