On my blog (Riverviewfriend.wordpress.com) I've started a series of posts on the Bible based on what I presented and learned from others at the gathering of IYM-C last weekend. The first one is on the Bible as a Gift.

Thanks for taking the time to read me and for your comment. <br /><br />...Given what you offer up, I would say that in an abusive relationship, it is the <i><b>abuser</b></i> and not the victim of of the abuse who has broken the relationship. ...Long ago, I understood that God does not ask us to be unhappy; and caring for oneself and for the Inward Light that needs nurture and lovingkindness requires us to leave certain situations. <br /><br /><b>Daniel</b>, thanks for your words. As my (few) blog posts from 2011 and 2012 point to, my life took a very different turn then. I'm slowly getting back to blogging, though I need to carve out time to read blogs as well as to write. I see <a href="http://infiniteoceanoflightandlove.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">you are still fairly active yourself</a> in the Quaker blogosphere, so I hope to catch up with you soon.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />LizLiz Opphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802348848085930901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10737238.post-44535407175334785452013-04-25T09:37:06.407-05:002013-04-25T09:37:06.407-05:00Hello Liz,

We've missed your deep, sensitive, thought-provoking posts.<br /><br />Though I realize, maybe your absence was sort of like worshiping in meeting, waiting for the Spirit of God to speak. From worshipful silence, sometimes gold comes forth (to reverse the cliche).<br /><br />This topic on Scripture is very important to me as I "wrestle" with these stories from long ago. And as you probably know the metaphor of "wrestling" with the Bible comes from a Jewish scholar (don't remember which one).<br /><br />In the Light,<br />DanielDaniel Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05178375087492786696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10737238.post-35488003442848865272013-04-24T19:20:48.870-05:002013-04-24T19:20:48.870-05:00Hi Liz,

I think there are some relationships that need to be broken. I'm thinking particularly of abusive ones where any and all attempts to put the relationship in right order have failed. <br />I do love your concept of relational authority.Cindy Maxeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778944204551100946noreply@blogger.com
