So much is, and then there are people like Sister Simone Campbell, and Martin Luther King in this world, too. Father Bill comes to mind, too. He was killed in Guatemala for helping with his whole heart. Assassins cannot take out all the good that is left behind these people of such goodness. zippiknits...sometimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385498014336581117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448101.post-91565278748788264222015-01-13T06:29:54.867-06:002015-01-13T06:29:54.867-06:00Vivian, You and I expect different things from our...Vivian, You and I expect different things from our worship services. I was raised in the kind of church you describe and found it desperately wanting. For me, current events don't only show the sin of the world, people like Sister Simone and Dr. King inspire and show how to put faith into action in ways that aren't solely parochial. Besides this is the world I'm in, and I long for a real world perspective on my faith. And since I know many good decent Jews, people who love God in their way and are genuinely happy in their faith, I can't get with proselytizing. <br /><br />I believe your sincerity and, since I care about and respect you, am happy that you have a spiritual home that brings you peace. But I feel closer to Christ when I serve my community, my country and my world, and when I have a deeper understanding of my fellow man.The Gal Herselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566779726191649848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448101.post-86352638989662781812015-01-12T16:58:15.615-06:002015-01-12T16:58:15.615-06:00sorry you were disappointed...but i expect the ser...sorry you were disappointed...but i expect the sermon to be about the bible and how it plays in our life today.<br />how i can bring more people into a relationship with Jesus. <br />current events only show the sin of the world and really those who do these horrible act know nothing about our savior Jesus and how He can bring peace into their life.<br />I know many don't believe the way I do and that is okay...I feel they are losing out on the joy God can bring by know His word and living a life free of worry, anger and forgiveness.<br />xoxo<br /><br />Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475300367665076331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27448101.post-35907690162841993082015-01-12T07:52:42.777-06:002015-01-12T07:52:42.777-06:00That's a tough one.

I hope you find the solace you need.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524230831950917735noreply@blogger.com
