Hello UU World

Today on May 20th, 2007, I officially became a Unitarian Universalist (UU). I am very excited about this, since I never thought that I would be a member of a "church". I am also a geek, so what better way to express this elation than to start a new blog! I currently have a professional blog at http://xavier.ashe.com called The Lazy Genius. It covers hackers, crackers, and all thing dealing with information security. It's not really the place for discussing my spirituality, so I decided to start a new blog here. Bonus geek points if you understand the blog title, but for everyone else, "Gnu" is pronounced, "New".

Thank you very much for stopping by. I will be discussing and musing about my exploration through UU. I live in Atlanta and attend the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta (UUCA). I have been attending since early fall of last year, but finally made it official today. So far I have participated in many interesting adult religion education (RE) classes, attended a few events with the 20s/30s group, enrolled my daughter in children's RE classes, and plan to do a lot more.

I'll cover my faith journey history in future posts, but expect to see topics that include shamanism, humanism, existentialism, catholicism, and of course Unitarian Universalism. Man, that's a lot of -isms. Feel free to comment on anything, to disagree or just to tell me I am being silly. I've got some pretty thick skin, so please be honest.

Again, thank you for reading my spiritual blog and sharing in my experiences.
