Interestingly,

I started, at the time, to chide you a bit . . . that it was unnecessary and beneath you. I just felt in my spirit to let it be, that God would let you know. Interesting.

Besides, I was certain that some would guffaw to the point of dangerously choking on their own spit if I did so publically. IIRC, I was going to do so privately but felt to not even do that, oddly.

I think God fashions HIS arrows uniquely each for its own purpose. I think you do extremely well what you normally do. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT.

Understanding hearts is such a tricky GOD-ONLY-FOSTERED thing. It’s fairly common for vivid things to obscure, hide, disguise MORE subtle things. PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS.

I think I live all my heart brazenly on my sleeve in front of God and everyone. Yet, I know that probably most folks have trouble having a clue about my heart and a lot else about me. LOL.

Humans are such complex critters.

Yet they are a real kick to love, regardless . . . sometimes regardless of THEIR infuriating insufferable-ness! LOL.

RELIGION is probably THE area of life where it’s easiest to miss the forest for the trees in one another.

It’s very human to try and throw the baby out with the bath—and that in harsh, all encompassing black/white ways.

Yet, there’s no greater kick than Loving God and loving others—regardless. PRAISE GOD.

I don’t know that I do anything very perfectly, except be imperfect.

I certainly don’t love God or anyone else perfectly. I do try, by His Grace, to keep at it. And, I try to keep my heart toward others as clear of negative stuff from hell, by God’s Grace, as I know how to do.

I make no bones about fierce hostility toward things which I understand God to hate. However, the people involved are persons made in God’s image. Besides, in many cases, I’ve been in similar boats on many similar things. I remember what it’s like.

And it was the fiercest folks with the most hostility toward some of those boats—and sometimes even against me personally—who helped me out of them, the most. I realize God can use anything. Nevertheless, that’s always stuck with me. Many times when I was wailing and whining to God about such treatment, He had the audacity to say that they were right in the outrageously insufferable thing they’d just said to me. LOL.

God can be quite nonplus-ed in HIS audacity! LOL.

Anyway—FR is a kick. And the Religion Forum is the greatest kick on FR.

Now if we could just tweak a little more light out of some of the heat! LOL.
