Agate, Thanks for your honest post. Our minister once reminded us that we were all walking commercials for Christ. That's scarey. We need to take our advertisement more seriously. I've been that Christain that others are judging and it's not always a good place to be becasue we all have free-will and listen to ourselves before listening to what God may be calling us to do.

I'm grateful for your spiritual place and I believe God is at work in your heart.

Please e-mail me if you have any specific wuestions about living a life in Christ and I'll see if I can be of any help.

All I can say is that God has made a tremendous difference in my life.

I was raised Catholic and the God of my youth was one of fear, guilt, and judgment. that can't be any further from the truth.

God is love, forgiveness, and acceptance.
