Without knowing the details, I know. Its our world. All kinds of stuff going on. I appreciate your honesty. I think what bums me out in the top 10 of things is this........ The worlds perception of Christians. They see us as judgemental, rigid, flakey lunatics. Its a fact. The media, movies especially. It bums me out yet I get it. Why would they want to subscribe to that? I had a conversation with a man last weekend at work. He and I work together. I do not know him intimately. I listen to the data he shares about himself and with some wisdom and discernment, saw a glimpse of his heart. He was simply sharing the fact that because he is gay, he would never go to a church that endorse hatred against gays. Isn't that sad? Thats how he see's the Church. <br />Now I am not being passive to sin. I don't subscribe to "whatever makes you happy". But I do think the church has a long way to go. And it begins with me and Jesus. Whenever I point my finger, I turn it around and point at myself. Because I judge myself the moment I think I am better. I am better with Christ. Period. I think it takes time with people and they watch how we respond to life around us. <br />I know you know :) <br /> <br />Love you mucho.Patricianoreply@blogger.com
