shattered stained glass part I

when i started blogging last month i made mention of the fact that the involuntary contrarian was only one small piece of a bigger project - a scary, exciting, "can't-believe-we're-actually-doing-it" kinda project. notice the "we". . . that is a very important part of the project called Shattered Stained Glass due to open it's virtual doors in January.

i could never have imagined this or come close to pulling it off by myself - not in a gazillion years. but a group of like-minded women who have come to the conclusion that Christianity is not a one-size-fits-all adventure and wanted, needed someplace to connect and talk and encourage and challenge each other. . . well, now - THAT group of women could accomplish this.

Shattered Stained Glass is not supposed to take the place of your church, your church's women's ministry, your small group, or your family. it a place to come to talk, read, blog, engage - a place to rest and catch your breath during those "what the heck happened here?" times. . . it's a place to be yourself and perhaps come to terms with your faith or lack of it.

this is not a verbal version of Second Life the virtual reality game. everything at SSG is meant to be tried at home - with real neighbors, friends and family members.

talking honestly about our faith so we can honestly live out our faith.

faith meets real life. . . yep, that's it. . .
