Response to Countryside Philosophy

Sheepish, I think you have opened a barrel of worms instead of a can !!! Yet, shy thing that I am,I cannot resist a comment.When dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was young, I was very opinionated.Now that there are no dinosaurs and I am 52 (ouch),I remain very opinionated, but I no longer apologize for being so.The one constant in my life is that God is the judge of other folks, not me, so I do not have to bother with it.Oh, I have no problem being intolerant of ideas, philosophies, and social fads, but never intolerant of people.I like all kinds of people,yet feel free to be intolerant of some of their ideas.I work with some women who are homosexuals.I like them. They are very nice folks to work with.I am very intolerant of their life style..that's not a problem, since I have never been recruited into it.They are aware that as a Christian woman, I believe that they have a major problem.The best I do for them is to pray for them,not belittle them.I would not appreciate folks condeming me for my sins.I work with folks who are racial bigots.I like them.They are nice folks to work with..that's not a problem either, because when they voice their hatred and intolerance, they often see me in silent prayer for them.They know it, I know it, and on we go..I work at a prison, and see all levels of humanity every day.I love the little bracelet that my son gave to me..it says WWJD? (What would Jesus do?)...it helps me through my day, every day.Jesus did not throw rocks at folks who disagreed with Him, yet He did get angry sometimes..a good philosophy.
