Correction/Clarification/Apologies, etc.
Wow! Did anybody see the marvelous post I was in the middle of writing (no damn it, not in Word because I was in TOO MUCH OF A HURRY to screw up pasting and all that stuff I find so challenging to my limited brain)
Well, here's the UNbrilliant version of it: Please note a change to Dec. 5th's Dirty Little Secret post. I was informed by a very kind reader (thank you reader for calling my attention to it) that my subtitle could be misconstrued and if it was by anyone who is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered I deeply regret it. The subtitle was my overzealous way of trying to make clear that though I was about to admit to being a Christian I was in no way identifying with what passes for "Evangelical Christian" in America at the moment. Which from watching TV or reading the news one would think merely means you know that gays are the enemy of the family, that teaching evolution will lead our school children to ruin, that same sex marriage is going to make straight couples refuse to marry and have children and produce future tax payers. I won't go near abortion, parental notification, just war( if there is such a thing does anyone really think Iraq would be in that category?)or any of all the rest of the blahblahblah that comes through the tube ever day when political people talk about the vast love of their God. I believe in the vast love of God. Big enough to cover a big ole girl like me, big enough to cover all of us, the whole of us, all that we are. My oldest son always asks me if I think that includes Sadaam Hussein. I myself always wonder about Hitler. As I tell my son, I remind myself: the love of God is a mystery I can't begin to understand but I know it is bigger and more inclusive than anything we can imagine. That is the good news I was trying to capture in my subtitle on Dec. 5th. Sorry if it was misunderstood by anyone.
Thanks again reader for your great comments. Keep them coming...
