But "It" seems offensive, so I've used the masculine pronoun just for convenience.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you know (and I've known for a long time that you do!) that actions speak louder than words... It helps to clarify the cognitive dissonance when certain people make you question reality. Like oh, I don't know, someone living in Alaska? If it sounds nuts, and it feels nuts, it IS nuts... <BR/><BR/>I'm very glad you were around to give me an example to live by.

Interesting to see all the "He"s from my feminist friend :)<BR/>Yup -- even the Bible says we shall be judged by our fruits, doesn't it? Look to people's behavior not their pious activities. It's much easier on the sanity. <BR/>I tend to think my job (as a Christian) is not to make it any harder than it already is to believe in God. Maybe I've succeeded?<BR/>love u -- your little/big sisterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
