I just wanted to tell you that I have been upset lately because I have felt like many of those in the Conservative movement have attempted to diminish my view of G-d.  I understand that my relationship is not the academically/intellectually/modern approach but nonetheless, I realize that I am grateful for my personal/irrational/emotional approach to religion and the almighty because my relationship with G-d gives me comfort that few others get from their modern approach.  Okay, enough rambling.  Hope you return in January and please leave my CD with Pauline so I can retrieve it easily.
