My question...who is to the right and left of you? Do you have good things to say of them?
I want my armour-bearers on either side of me regardless of their label.

I hate saying this about anything....but I guess I would be to the LEFT, even though I feel I am a very conservative person over all, according to my old church I would be very liberal...I think I am well balanced and normal...:sshhh but don't tell anyone!

...Brother Strange you have been so kind to me and I have great respect for you and I would be happy to have you as my pastor, as well as the other men you have listed that would be to your left....

Well, anyone that is not kind to you needs a check up from the neck up. You have always shown the fine, sterling character of an exemplary Christian of the best order. If I had a houseful of Christians as you, I would have the finest church in America.

Honestly, I've been in churches that I would be considered a wild eyed liberal and would not be allowed near the platform. I've been in other churches that thought that I was a wild eyed super holiness nut. A more apt term might be just a wild eyed nut...period.

In it all, I've learned not to try to be a man pleaser. I will be me without any pretenses. If the church that I attend (and I have) preach against christmas trees, I will have a tree each year. If they want me to leave, I will be happy to do so. But, if another church considers me too conservative for their congregation, making them unconfortable, I will be happy to leave. But, most of the time, I've been in Goldilocks churches...not too hot and not too cold...hahaha.....

There are a lot on here that are both to the left of me and a lot on here that are to the right of me too. I count them all as my brothers and sister, all of whom I fully expect to see in heaven. In fact, some of them may get there before me and have a closer seat to the throne too. But meanwhile, I will do my best, trusting in and leaning on the Lord. I know that you will too.

I learn more forward than anything else, but that is because I have this big old belly! It gets everywhere I go before I do!

The question is not who is to the right of me, or the left of me. The question is "How much I have to look down to see all of you"



hehehehe!!!

Well....

Thank you sister. That's very sweet.

Don't look now, but some man seems to be sharing the same pillow with you.
