searching for grace

i'm sure you all have noticed that the flipflop fed has been quite lax in blogging lately. i have no good excuse other than that the flipflop fed has been flippin' anxious as hell since easter. and for those of you that know me even the tiniest little bit know that i don't do ambiguity - and since anxiety is just a nice medical term for the same (therapists can't code for ambiguity and dr.'s won't dole out happy pills for ambiguity so thank god for anxiety ... i guess?!) you can be sure that i've been struggling. i've been struggling along with wonderful support from family and friends ... and anne lamott.

to be completely honest, i'd never heard of lamott before this weekend. knowing just how to play me, kristin described her as a "spiritual and not so caustic david sedaris." that's all she needed to say for me to dive in. i'm starting with her 2007 book grace (eventually) thoughts on faith. lamott is incredibly thoughtful and so right on. so from time to time i'm going to give you a little piece of what i'm learning. i hope you'll indulge me ...
