Dear Bible,

I appreciate your beautiful stories. I read many of your passages and see the clear picture of LOVE! I can hear the "voice of God" in your pages. I have memorized chapters and verses and they are ever in my heart. Thank you and BTW: I will not allow you to influence me to be an Elitist, separatist, judge, bully or a despicable example of someone who shuts others out. I have decided to follow my heart and the LOVE that fills it requires me to love my neighbors. My Gay neighbors, Drunk neighbors, Muslim neighbors, Black neighbors, Latino neighbors, religious neighbors, addicted neighbors and the rest! My LOVE is big enough to include everyone without limits and conditions! I give you DUE RESPECT but will never be guilty of following any suggestion that I withhold LOVE from ANY man, ANYWHERE.

Yes. This. Thank you so much. You're giving a voice and a vocabulary to those of us who are a few steps behind you on this path.

I completely agree with you. I have never understood the need of institutions or companies to surround themselves with “yes, men” ( or women, for that matter). What’s better than an honest opinion of a loyal friend? What’s better than seeing another perspective to right the wrongs? .

Very different kitchens. Darlin' will you please pass me those onions so I can dice them and pass them to Father Nathan to add once he's browned the meat? Gonna be a FINE stew.
