Well put,,,,,,,,,,,, While I was viewing Tolerate with the teens the other day (free admission) and I actually bought the copy, and you signed it, thank you, I'll never wash that DVD again,,,,, wait,,, thats body parts, anyways, I noticed that at several times during the show, what did not offend me at home, and still did'nt because I understand you, and should, since I have witnessed your evolvedness, might offend others. I was actually thinking, how some would percieve it. Like the deaf girl in the front row, like the girl that tries to find fault in all people that claim to be christians, like the head pastor. What will he think?, I found myself turning around and studying the room around me, in the dark, looking at the faces, observing the attitudes. This is what I saw,,,,,,,,,,, smiles, laughter, teens not paying attention, teens creating their own comedic acts with friends around them in the back of the church, youth leaders saying things like, "thats true, thats me,,, yeah my wife does that". I felt a presence behind me that turned out to be my head pastor, who leaned over and whispered in my ear,,, "I hate kids",,,,no just kidding, he said "can I borrow this. Man, how do you tell the pastor he needs to buy a copy,,,, anyways,,,,,, I was relieved to know, that people can take a joke, and that the majority of the people, especially in the body of Christ, have a sense of humor, and we want to laugh. Not at the expense of others, but because we find the same flaws in ourselves, and are honest enough to admit it, and maybe even laugh. Heck, if the problems too big, we might even work on it through the power of the Holy spirit,,,,,, imagine that. Why was I so concerned with how others would reacte...? because I hope sometimes, in my humaness, that noone will be offended, and we can just have a good night. I was lucky that night,,, because their were those that had questions for me, about you. I must say, through watching your style, admiring your sense of humor, and by agreeing with your POV, most of the time, I was'nt just saying things like, "I should have checked this out before I showed it". Like people that argue biblical truths, and they have'nt even read a full chapter of the word of GOD. I am not offended by liberals,,, because God has shown me by his word the truth. And I am doing my best through him, to improve. If I'm not improving, I'm not praying, I'm not reading, I'm not hearing, and the body is not moving in the direction it should go. I am not offended by the liberal mindset, because its flawed,,, and wreaks of denial, and reminds me a lot of myself before I was saved. I am so not perfect, but I am so wanting to please him, and am so willing to hear his truth. I am not offended by things that have been revealed as faulty. And so my prayers go out to anyone and everyone, that is still caught in that place, of justifiable, and at times almost realistic delusion. May God reveal his truth. The humor alone, in hearing someone say, "can you guys believe this guys married to a woman", goes without saying. It is comforting to know, that we will make mistakes, while striving to do what is right. It is comforting to know, that we are o.k. with believing in a wonderous creator that has unconditional, unexplainable love for us. It is very comforting to know, that not all liberal attitudes are wrong, and that not every conservative is right. It is discomforting to know, that not everyone that says christian, is. It is nice to know, that for every critic that crituques you,, that you will sit back, chew on it, evaluate the comment, and decide if its right or wrong, and maybe even at times,,, admit you are, what a concept. It is comforting to know, that we can spread the love of Jesus Christ, and if necessary, use words. jC
