sticky

Two days ago I said I wanted to share my faith more......I never should have done that because you know what that means, I'll actually have to do it. Religion is such a weird thing it can ignite normally calm, serene people into irrational boiling emotion in minutes. While I was witnessing a religion melt-down this week my mental tape was running. I was quick to jump into defensiveness, justification, and reactionary "preaching" - all mentally. Why not just let it lay? It's not *my* job to save God's face. So that's what I did, I turned off the mental tape and really listen even when I don't agree - in the end the only thing that matters is that I love her in all things, most importantly when we don't agree. Lesson one: "....the most important of these is LOVE." - The hardest part is knowing that it has shredded friendships but it's not over, the final chapter hasn't been written. I am curious to see how this is worked to good too.
