It's curious to me. . .
I have been reading another blog for a few weeks and really like what I have been reading. I find with each post, I learn something about God, myself, love, etc. Recently this blogger bravely attacked a difficult subject. Homosexuality. Her post was picked up by the Huffington Post. A lot of people have read it. I was surprised at how many people posted on her FB page that they vehemently disagree with her and would no longer be reading her blog. I am a little saddened and surprised by that. I don't agree with everything I read. I don't agree with any other person 100%. I am willing to listen to an alternate view point. How can I learn more about myself and others if I always ingest the same ideas? How can I be certain of my belief if it is never challenged? How can my faith grow if there is no grey area or sometimes even doubt? Quite honestly, I don't know whether I agree or disagree with this blogger on this issue. I do know that I will always love my children and accept them NO MATTER WHAT. I don't have to approve. I don't have to understand. I do have to accept. I'm their mom forever! Maybe one day I can definitively say I believe THIS or THAT about homosexuality. Until then (and hopefully even after), I will do my best to listen, to accept, and to love no matter what. The other blog is momastary. You should check it out! http://momastery.com/blog/2012/01/22/a-mountain-im-willing-to-die-on-2/

Hey Christy... you should put links in your post to the blogs that you're referring to. I'm not sure what tool you use to post this blog, but it probably has a way for you to make text clickable so that it's easy to go to the sites to which you're referring.
ReplyDeleteNice post, BTW. :-) I don't know if I agree or not, esp. since I haven't read the blogs you referenced, but I enjoy your blog posts.
