A lot of us have been hurt by the "church". It's a particularly painful and deep wound. Christ is not about rules and judgment. So many people spout off John 3:16, but they need to understand John 3:17 first. Christ did not come to condemn the world, but to <em>save</em> the world. If Christ did not condemn, then who are we to judge others? Christ can heal your wounds, Kathy. Hang in there. I'll be praying for you if you keep praying for me, deal? :D Kathy, I think that is most sincere compliment I have ever received and I want to thank you. A lot of us have been hurt by the “church”.

Your Christianity is so much a part of who you are. I am still struggling with a past experience of dogmatic religion and I'm not sure what I believe about God or Christ anymore. I do know that I believe in a greater power and I am a spiritual being. I may not pray for you in the conventional way, but I am praying for you and continued success. Keep telling us like it is with your candid honesty - the world (and me) needs it. <abbr><em>kathy´s last spectacular blog post..<a href="http://www.journeytoflow.com/?p=317" rel="nofollow">Emotional Resonance</a></abbr></em> Jamie

And I would love to sit and drink coffee with you everyday! Our pastor tells us that he gets accused of "reading my mail" all the time. He says he doesn't dig up dirt or gossip or have an inside track... he just addresses the things he struggles with... what he's feeling. Dwight preaches to Dwight and a lot of the time, he hits a bull's eye with the masses. :) I think, no, I know, that most Christians struggle with surrender. If you hold out long enough, God puts up enough roadblocks and eliminates all other issues until surrendering becomes the most important thing in your life. That's where I'm at. Not by choice, but because I claim to follow Christ. He finally got tired of my blundering around, got a bullhorn, and yelled, "Hey! If you wanna be a Christ follower, you gotta learn you're not in charge! Capice?" Capisco, Dio. :D Oh Kristin, if you only knew. And I would love to sit and drink coffee with you everyday!

I never meant it to sound like whining, though. Just an observation that many words are cheap. I'd like for mine to be worthwhile. :) Tapping into Power. What a scary and thrilling thought...makes me wonder why churches aren't overflowing? Aw Wendi , that’s nice to know. I never meant it to sound like whining, though.
