MerryAntics left a comment for AMY ADAMS SQUIRE"Uh, it just dawned on me why you might have asked that question... perhaps because I joined the "Sexuality, LGBT" group? I wanted to comment on Joseph's discussion "Consigned to Hell" but that required I join the…"
MerryAntics left a comment for AMY ADAMS SQUIRE"Hi Amy, You asked me:
I am foremost, a caring and (I believe) compassionate female who may have Friends/Quaker leanings. I'm exploring Qu to see whether I might find a good fit with others of a similar non-dogmatic persuasion.…"
AMY ADAMS SQUIRE left a comment for MerryAntics"Welcome, Friend Merry, to the Queer Quakers. I'm lesbian. What (or perhaps who) are you?
FRIEND SAM"
MerryAntics commented on Cathy Barney's blog post 'Synchronicity of simplicity'"Thank you for your thought provoking post Cathy, sometimes I am astounded how things I don't think I'm particularly drawn to actually become compelling.
Um, please pardon the easily befuddled one's question, but at first you wrote:
So…"
MerryAntics commented on James C Schultz's blog post 'Make me a vessel of Thy peace'"Thank you for sharing, particularly the reminder to make more room for Him by letting go of our selves.
Peace be with you all"

MerryAntics replied to Jacob Graham's discussion 'Further Discussion On Quakers And The Creation Of Art' in the group Music and the Arts"Music and grace filled movement speak to me in ways I cannot describe. During a particularly difficult time in my life I was led to Chris Spheeris's music, much of which I found incredibly prayerful and peaceful. After…"

Music and the Arts
Historically Friends worried that music and the arts could serve as spiritual distractions but today many are involved in the arts. Share you work, along with your views of the role of the arts in contemporary Quaker culture. Tag: arts.
MerryAntics replied to MerryAntics's discussion 'Liberal Quakers Group - is there any interest in activity?' in the group Liberal Quakers"No worries :)
There are other lines of discussion I have been reading. Is there a place where I might find more about the "Liberal" tradition?
I see a lot of controversy in other discussions about those of the…"
Gustavo Cordoba Guerrero replied to MerryAntics's discussion 'Liberal Quakers Group - is there any interest in activity?' in the group Liberal Quakers"Hello,
with all of facebook, twitter, emails in our head, it is some times hard to watch and post in all of them.
Anyway, thanks MerryAntics for shaking us a bit. It is needed from time to time."
MerryAntics posted a blog postIt seems I can't keep up :)
I have the attention span of a gnat, am easily befuddled and often get lost on the net. I thought I had a blog that could be seen by anyone but it's on another site. Go figure.This is where my blog is Be aware there isn't much there yet.That said, I'm reluctant to start a Qu blog because I'm likely not a Quaker, I don't know. I was led to look into Quaker traditions. That's what I'm doing. See More
MerryAntics commented on Cathy Barney's blog post 'When the hatches aren't battened'"FibroFog or something else? Either way perhaps this idea might be worth a pondering...
Believing in an omnipotent and omniscient God, when I pray I go quietly and ask simply that He look to my heart. From that point on my task is to shut…"

MerryAntics replied to MerryAntics's discussion 'Liberal Quakers Group - is there any interest in activity?' in the group Liberal Quakers"Thanks Amy :) I'll look on Facebook! Hopefully some of the original (notice I refrained from saying older?) Friends of the Liberal persuasion will jump in also.

Profile Information
- About Me
- I am a perpetual searcher. An acquaintance suggested I look into Quakers ~ Friends to see whether or not I might find a good fit with my spiritual beliefs.
As one who was raised without religious teachings or indoctrinated by religious dogma my wanderings have taken me through a vast spectrum of belief in a Supreme Creator. Thus I am left with a few things which I can unequivocally affirm.
I believe that all life comes from a Creative Force (which I refer to as God) and is beyond human comprehension.
As a sentient creature of God I am compelled to be thankful for the life that I am given and to share my appreciation with all other life forms whether human, animal, or plant.
I believe God calls us on His own time for His purposes.
I believe I am called to listen quietly.
If I believe that God is omnipotent and omniscient (and I do) I have no need to think anything other than: "You know my heart. My task from then on is to simply listen."
