Letting Go of God

Julia Sweeny ......She is best known for her roles on Saturday Night Live, especially as the androgynous character "Pat." She is also well known for her critically acclaimed 1996 one-woman monologue, God Said, Ha! in which she treated her experience of surviving cancer. Sweeny has a new Cd out called Letting Go of God that takes a look at her search for God and her dealing with her Catholic parents, Mormons, Evangelicals and various other faith groups. You can watch a snippet over at TED (one of my favorite sites, TED is a event that happens every year where they bring  in about 1000 people to brainstorm and talk ideas). Anyway Sweeny's journey is an interesting one, as she struggles to find a relationship with God she continually runs into religion.  She has not found that relationship yet. It's a pretty good reminder for me to not create barriers for people to walk into, to not get caught up in the do's and just remember it's done and to love people and let them know their loved  by God.  She's pretty funny to.
