I remember when I started blogging with the "new Born" Canadians, or they found me as a matter of the fact. I sensed some culture differences and asked my very wise daughter what should I do? She looked down on my writings, went out to her room and placed this coca cola cork beside my computer. It said:"Show them who you are." I took her advise; and that just was the right thing to do. My blog-friends have coped with our differences, as have I tried to understand and respect them. My best congregaton is over at the Pilgrim Pals. Ordinary people praying and supporting one another. So much blessing just for daring show who I am. Yours Felisol Dear Renae,
good point, again!

God is love, but He is also a God of truth. Speaking the truth in love is very freeing, rather than always walking on eggshells and skirting around certain issues. Thanks for sharing that testimony. Amrita, it is always great to have you here! I'm so excited about your internet connection. That will be wonderful for you! Jean, doesn’t it feel great to have freedom in Christ?

Always trying to be politcally correct and avoiding possibly offending anyone who might happen to be within earshot. I try to be kind and loving in my speech, but I just decided to be ME when I speak and act. And ME is a Christian who is madly in love with Jesus. It has been liberating.

This is a fun story, with a lot of twists in the plot. But then, the more I study God's Word, the more I find it is one exciting book! Thanks, Jeanette!
