As recently as yesterday, I was still casting around for the right topic to write about tonight for TC. I had already explored my most recent online obsession, Second Life, in TC last week, and my follow-up to va dare's excellent TC diary on Appalachian racism wasn't quite whipped into shape for prime time yet.

Then last night I read GoogleBonhoeffer's An Obama Congregation Near You, and was inspired to continue that thoughtful conversation here, by briefly telling the story of my experience over the last 11 years as a member of a small-town UCC congregation.

If you're not in the mood for a bit of relatively innocuous church talk, jump further down and partake in the Top Commenty goodness; if you're game, follow me on down below the fold.

How strange that my first diary here turns out to be a Top Comments diary, given the amount of writing I've been doing here in recent weeks. But I was fortunate enough to strike up conversations with the delightful TC crew in va dare's brilliant TC essay on Racism in Appalachia and other places, and was thrilled at the invitation.

Of course, they've had a devil of a time getting emails to me about mentoring me through the process the first time, because I've taken a short unplanned break from dKos by immersing myself in Second Life. Anyone who's a SL regular will tell you about their first week or so being a rather obsessive and sleep-deprived time.

Follow me into Lower Foldistan for more.
