Spiritual Writing Shouldn't be Boring

And, little by little, I started being more interested in what these bloggers had to say.

Some were talking about what it was like to be in a room full of people who had celebrated the Jewish Sabbath (aka Shabbat) all their lives, when they themselves had not. Others wrote about why it was important to them to be married in the church where they grew up and still others wrote about intermarriage with someone of a completely different faith.
