Dear Mary,
I think that spinning is a marvelous idea! If you find the spinning wheel too complicated (as I do), may I recommend hand spinning? It does take longer, but it is much more practical: you can take the spindle with you everywhere (e.g., continue spinning when you visit another Christian woman - all that chat and no work is so ungodly), and you can easily switch from "S" to "Z" twist if necessary.
Here is a picture of a woman using hand spindle:
