Its interesting to think of the changes one goes through as his or her life progresses. Every thing changes as you "grow up" from your hair style to your music choice, even what you like to eat. My life has always been on an axis centered around Judaism. When I was very young we left Christianity and when to Judaism, no jesus, no church we had nothing to do with it. But we didn't have Friends or community the shul we went to was too far away and we hadn't yet really got into the Conservative movement. We still had Friends in the our old congregation so we went back and got sucked back into Christianity. Its strange how easy it is to slip into some thing when your comfortable. Any way we're back and here to stay (and no one is going to change my mind, if you want you can go on a crusade but it'll only cause you strife. I'm a nice guy till you mess with my religion) here and here to stay. No procrastinating nothing to get in the way.
Okay I've gotten off subject originally I was going to talk about something else; but what can you do. When I sat down at the computer I was going to write about a non religious subject but you know I guess some thing else was on my mind.
Stay tuned because next episode Ian is going to talk about what he initially wanted to talk about, the changes in his choice in fiction and a little about the future.

Regardless of weather or not I agree or dissagree with your decision, I am proud to see you standing up and making your own choice, just as I am proud of chuch and Jo for the same reason. Never let anyone influence you to change. Your perfect just the way you are. I have watched you grow up and mature and it still amazes me to see the growth without losing your identity. You have my friendship and my admiration.
You're a very strong person, and I am thankful that you have never been one to follow the crowd. You get that from your Pops. You think things through when you have an important decision to make, thus keeping you from rushing in. This is a fine quality. You truly are an individual.
I agree with Marli 100%. I have seen a bit of "pushing" (need that to come across as a nice word!!!). Conversion is serious serious business. I wanted to convert and maybe still will someday. But it is an individual decision that needs to be made by a very mature mind who fully wants it for themselves. It is obvious that you have a mature mind and have made this choice for yourself. As much as we need to stand by your decision, we have to stand beside all of us who are not converting at this time also.
I am glad your here to stay. you have chose a good path. I am proud of you. Isn't it funny how we think we are going to say one thing but out comes another.
