I believe in a pluralistic society, certainly. As you yourself have written, I know that the beauty of the things I have crafted shows clear influence of a Divine hand. I know that without the Light, what I write lacks the same ability to inspire.

I mourn for the people who have been wounded by organized religion, yet often am annoyed those who assume that all religious/spiritual people believe the same things. Or who believe that all religions are intrinsically rotten. We often seem to need something to criticize or some means to project our own fears and anxieties onto something convenient. Organized religion is far too often that conduit. The question I'd ask is why we have that compulsion in the first place, and whether the target is the correct one.

I consider myself a "God Chick" and I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Your courage to stand up for your faith is commendable because you just became a light shining in the darkness. I, too, want to let my light shine before man. It is isn't easy in a secular world to be who we were ordained to be and to follow the Great Commission. I hope that you live it out each day in your word, actions, and writing. God Bless.

I've read it. I loved the book. I was a little disappointed when I discovered it didn't really happen that way. Of course I was incredibly relieved that the murder wasn't true but I somehow wanted the encounters to be real. That would be really amazing but still it helped me gain a new perspective. Thanks for sharing so boldly.

I hope you will continue to take more risks to speak the truth because, truth overcomes lies, just as light overcomes darkness.

It is truly unfortunate that the ones who cry out for tolerance are intolerant.

Lesley-Anne,

Greetings! Lesley-Anne I can So relate to what you wrote, "I take a deep breath as I write this because I know there is a risk associated with stating clearly what one believes."

 

How can anything I write not be tampered by me wondering, is my Mom going to read this, is my neighbor going to read this?I don't believe exactly the way they do, always I am asking myself, how do I bridge our beliefs.

 

I think it is this risk that you speak of Lesley that we always have in the back of our minds of not wanting to stamp on toes or be rejected immediately because of differences which makes spiritual writing a unique challange.

Hi Lesley Anne,

 

It took a while for me to admit that I like writing about my faith as well.  I faced a bit of hesitation on what kind of writer I really wanted to be.  I think I like a lot of things from the classics to the contemporary.  But nothing has moved me so much than to write about Christ.  So, thank you for being here and for being bold as to putting this out there for people like me to find.

 

Blessings,

Kathy
