I agree with you. It is always good to make suggestions than making assertions. Some people think they have a monopoly on wisdom. Anyway it take alltypes. probaly it helps us to cultivate tolerance to confront such people.

I am a strong believer in a person being his/her self. When I became a christian God met me where I was at. From that day forward he is and has been the one to show me areas in my life that need to be dealt with. Doing it his way and with him, made the whole process so easy - sometimes I even get to laugh at some of the silly things that I do.

If I were to take on all the faults and expectations that others have of me, I would be a terrible mess. I remember the Lord spoke to me during a time when others were pointing the finger at me . It was about guarding my heart and mind by using his word.

We are a work in Progress.

We are His.

Let's all hug. But just one quick hug.

I will try really hard to be just like you guys and not be so...how's that Vickilynn said?....oh yeah, "emo"

I would prefer it if you would try to become more like Christ. Which is, what I believe, this forum is all about. Becoming more like Christ. I am certain there is no one here that would suggest you become "just like them". Brothers and Sisters should always be pointing each other toward the goal of Christlikeness.

I for one would never want you to become just like me. Goodness, one is more than enough.

Thanks for starting this thread jackie d. I've been a member here for a long time but was too intimidated to post on the boards until the last year or so. I still tend to be on the opposite side of the spectrum from most people here in that, after reading other's posts, feel that I don't have anything intelligent to say. God and I are working on that, but it's a slow process.

I agree with Bibs here. Each of us should have the goal of becomming more like Christ than anyone else. Sometimes I fail to remember that while I am here for fellowship, I'm also here to learn and to even teach where I'm capable.

Shalom Bibs,

My sentiments exactly. I don't want to be like anyone else and I don't want anyone else to be like me. We ALL should strive to be more like Jesus, every day.

well, I just have to say that I've been very disturbed by how I've received some of the people here and so that's why I started this thread. As I've been both the writer and reader.... I wasn't looking for a way to point the finger at others or lay blame on others but to try to get a grasp on what has been up with me lately....because I'm really a much nicer person than I have been these past days. I'd like to say "the devil made me do it" but I hate that lame-o excuse.

Anyway, thanks everyone again. It's been enlightening.

LOL!! I was joking when I said I want to be like just like you guys. The difference of opinion and beliefs remain with me so I could never be like many people in that regard. However there are some people here that I have much respect for and wouldn't mind having a piece of what they have...
