Hmmm. Snowing again. Hope it sticks. After 10 years in Austin I'm not jaded yet. BTW I finally had a chance to check out Real Live Preacher. If you've been reading KesherTalk for a while, you will know I can be rather caustic about Christians and their obsessions with converting me. But Real Live Preacher (a fellow Texan too!) and Eve Tushnet show me what an inner Christian sprituality looks like. I can appreciate it - notice the bits of my Jewish spirituality that peek through, and the bits where Christianity decided to differentiate and produce something new. I don't have to brace myself against it - I can just appreciate it the way I appreciate Buddhists or Sufis or Native Americans or other religious folk who aren't grabbing my labels and telling me they love me so much they want to make me just like them.

UPDATE: Another Salon-based intriguingly reflective clergy blog. Okay, it's definitely time for a rabbi to step up to the plate. (I think I got to all of these via Electrolite)
