A-G, what's in a "label," anyway??? You know who you are and what you're about. And so does God. The rest of us should just "stifle." :^) (We ought to be loathe to make judgments about things we do not understand in the manner you understand them.)

I hope you didn't take anything I said as criticism. That certainly wasn't my intention. Hugs!!!

Thank you so much for your post! Lots of hugs back at 'ya!!!

Please do not be concerned; I never take offense at labels. They interest me only because they facilitate understanding, so if anyone believes a particular label fits me I'm always curious about it!

Quite a bit and enough for fear and trembling.

At reply #169 there is something very interesting that William Terrell says: a direction toward a direction

Our words are meaningful because as a labels they have the potency of revealing a direction toward a direction. But they cannot be merely labels of ourselves, because language is not merely ourselves.
