Someone, an actor, tiold me that I was teh best example of Christianity he had ever seen (and he left the church cos of spiritual abuse) cos I was OPEN MINDED, listened and didnt shove it down his throat. It menat so much to me,.

I read widely, I am intersted in the world and at the same time, love Jesus passionatrely..yet am not a spiritual neo-nazi!!!!

This means SO MUCH to me, this compliment.

That is wonderful indeed.

This is one objective I have had the past few years to let the Light of God shine, that is inviting and not be result in a firey conflagration. How to be moderately passionate and not overdo it.

Great post. Next latte on me.

That is a wonderful compliment.

I've heard similar statements, but it is along the line of "you are so not like other Christians I've met." This is meant to be a compliment in an underhanded way. I don't know quite how to respond to that.

:) Hi Blake, I am a open minded Christian too but it gets me in alot of trouble with Christians who are closed minded. :D Other people do see the difference. Like you friend. Have you gone on tour yet? Been thinking of you. Hope you have rembered all those lines you need to know. :) and that everything went well when your mother visited you. butterfly
