I apologize..

for the embarassing and hurtful things "Christ's followers" have done to society and individuals around the world and throughout history out of, what they perceive to be, "love." Many of them have a LOT of growing and learning to do. The most important thing they need to learn is how to truly love their God and their neighbors, and that's including myself. Agape is challenging, as we are all by nature selfish beings. Spiritual discipline is challenging, as we all like to indulge carnal desires. Faith is challenging, as we all like to see it to believe it. Humility is challenging, as we all like to think we are right. Tradition is comfortable and to alter it requires change. A lot of people are afraid of change because it's uncomfortable. Most Christians are too comfortable. Jesus, as a baby, scared the shit out of King Herod, SO much so that he ordered a genocide of all the baby males in his "territory." Jesus, a crying, pooping baby, and rumored "king".. There's a lot to learn about this man that loved us to the point of excruciating death and about the father that sacrificed him.. for us. ..and the comforting Spirit that dwells among us to heal us. As a Christian lesbian, I know that I don't know everything.. and, i'm okay with that. We're never to stop digging, searching, and gaining understanding and wisdom. We are not meant to be ruled by fear. We are not meant to be so independent, but rather interdependent on one another. The truth is out there to be discovered.. in all of us.
