You guys are amazing... it's so awesome that I can go to bed and wake up and receive all this guidance through my computer screen!!
Waiting, waiting, waiting....
Essie, I think his main LL is touch and time together.
Kalni, text message. nothing more, unless he's contacted me. got it.
Lisa, Oh! I am so glad to hear it took you a while to get it too, that is very encouraging, b/c when I first started it was so frustrating. But I think I am "starting to get it". I am excited for the recipes!
Just to clarify, not that I am going to SEND it to him or anything, but the whole thing with the book is that B has been on this long journey of understanding his religious identity ... he was raised very conservative Baptist, and when he was in Boston his church was basically like a very small, liberal, experimental support group for recovering baptists!! While we were still in Boston we watched this DVD interview with this radical presbyterian theologian and both got really excited... so that's where the book idea came from, a way of saying, "I know things about you that no one else does" AND "I am giving you something that is for you, not for me". He is kind of into reading theology because I think it helps him understand his religious identity better. Ay yi yi!!!
