Bringing life into this blog...

I don't know if anyone looks at this blog any longer, but I thought I would make an attempt to bring it back to life.
I wanted to comment about something that stuck out to me this past Sunday at LR. When Kristie and Ben were speaking, something that Kristie said a few times struck home with me. She reconciled with the people from her past who had done some bizarre things "in the name of Christ". She said that she understood that they were just doing what they felt was right.
Something about this idea of accepting people's shortcomings as okay and letting go of hurts made me think. I can't count how many times I completely write off Christian brothers and sisters b/c I think they are stupid. It's really pathetic how I can choose to be friends with some Christians and ignore others b/c of my perceptions.
So thanks Kristie for reminding me about these principles of letting go and loving others without regard for minor things.
