I have learned so much in reading from this discussion, without my even realizing it.
Some may call it praying, I don't, I call it talking to God but I did just that last night.
And I learned something about myself.
I woke my husband at 5 a.m. to discuss this with him because I was kind of shocked that this thought came to me. My own thought or Gods? I don't know & that's why I woke my husband.
The thought was this: "You have been so judgemental about others, but you've never judged yourself". When that thought hit me, I repeated it to myself several times. It was true!
I have judged others, very strongly, but never myself. I had all these negative thoughts about "Christian" people & the church.
I am just as bad if not worse than the very people I was judgeing.
I just wanted to share that with you all. I'm still confused as to where that thought came from.
GoFish, in my talk with God last night, I asked him to watch over you. Why? Because you're my friend & I like you!
