Hi Kristin,    
As one of the pastors of the church whose Sunday morning you describe in this blog, I want to say publically how much I love it when someone goes home and really thinks and prays (even writes!) about what occurred  when we gather.  As is true with everyone in our congregation, at one moment Kristin and I will see things exactly alike, and the next minute we may think we are coming from different planets, but the love and honor for one another as followers of Jesus who are doing our best to be honest and genuine just keeps growing.  Jesus provides us a great model for learning faithfulness to God.  What a journey!  Glad I have the privilege of being on it with you Kristin.   -- Ron Simkins
