We cannot earn grace, or it would not be grace. I can tell myself that over and over, yet it isn't until I hear a story like yours that I begin to really understand God's never-ending love for me. Keep telling your story, to anyone who will listen. Thank you for what you do to stop injustice in the world. Drain yourself of all the love you have to give, and watch Jesus fill your cup again and again.<br /><br />Thank you thank you thank you!<br />God Bless!Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160052355025245535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86194594925685908.post-65003854597683917942009-07-19T08:28:47.270-07:002009-07-19T08:28:47.270-07:00This is in response to Andrea's post.

Please don't judge all people of faith. Most of us are just ordinary people trying to live the greatest commandment the best we can while "loving people where they are at".M2239 <br /><br />Pam<br />PS: How can water be a liquid, a solid and a gas?Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682346081438690335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86194594925685908.post-90462902135055483072009-07-18T10:09:59.381-07:002009-07-18T10:09:59.381-07:00Seth, I can't thank you enough for your honest...Seth, I can't thank you enough for your honesty, and bravery, in this post and for what you are doing for humanity. My mother is very religious; I, like my father, am an atheist. Given the fact that I grew up with my mother, I can tell you that there was one singular experience that led me to be a non-believer. When I was about 10 years old, a friend from school invited me to go to church with her. I enjoyed the experience, but my young mind was confounded by one concept, and I asked her about it. "How can he be the father, the son, and the holy ghost all at the same time? " She looked at me and said, "We don't ask questions." That was it, and it scared me. If I can't question, how can I understand? What I envy, and wish I had, is the faith, love and strength that many people find in religion. What I fear is the judgement, exclusion and hatred it inspires in others. I tend to focus on the latter, and far too often I have to prevent myself from judging those who are religious; your five conclusions have resonated with me, and I know I will no longer be so quick to judge. In the words of Gayatri Spivak, I have been "brought to crisis" by your words, and am grateful for it. Keep doing what you are doing, and please keep sharing. You are truly an inspiration.
