Mir Christianity

That play on words describes how I feel, floating off in low-earth orbit not quite fitting in anywhere church-wise. I'm too generically evangelical to be a good Baptist, too conservative to be a good charismatic, too Reformed to be a good Wesleyan and too free-will oriented to be a good Calvinist.

It doesn't help that I'm between jobs, married but with no kids. Childless couples are often as odd-ducks as singles in family-oriented churches. Having a series of illnesses the last few months have isolated me even further, keeping me out of church for months at a stretch.

Such ill-fittedness makes it hard to write on theological issues, since I struggle to get past a roteness in my walk right now.

I'm sorry you are disconnected. If you were in Fort Worth, I would invite you to my Bible study class. I am a good Calvinist of the Baptist variety, but accept all comers. I pray you find a job soon.

Thanks for the good thought. There are no shortage of good studies out there. Finding them is the trick. Fort Worth as a tad bit of a commute.
