hi lady lee,
i enjoy all of your posts and almost always learn something. -- i also think it is funny that so often your posts are just before or just after mine. this post on anger was great -- it is something on which i am still working, as it often takes a while for me to realize it is even there. dealing with it is always challenging, but i do think i have gotten better. thanks for your great contributions.
gumby -- i think of you so often, almost every time i come on this forum. i will tell you that many times i do not reply to your posts because you so often raise questions that i didn't even know existed! i don't ever want to answer in a knee-jerk fashion as i don't think that would accomplish anything. i want to know what i am talking about. i had never even heard of the "jesus seminar" until i came here in march. so i just want to acknowledge the issues you have raised. i think if my new found faith in Christ were to be destroyed i would be crushed and furious also. so i too am doing a lot of studying and reading -- am now in the middle of "the case for Christ" by lee strobel. have you read it? what was it that you found so convincing in your search? are you so very sure of your conclusions?? i often think you are really on a quest to reclaim your faith.
best wishes to all, nowisee
