Aliens are green. That’s just the way it is.

I think I’m beginning to understand that the reason I don’t feel like everyone else there is because I am not.  I am not just another member of the group, and I cannot conduct myself as such.  I would never choose to be there instead of somewhere else.  They do.  I am there for a different reason.  I have a different role to play, and I need to be aware of that.  And okay with it.  

Secretly, I am in favor of civil unions and am semi-pro-choice.  I hear other philosophies from other world views and I don’t feel that they are completely void of truth.  I believe that the Bible is God’s ultimate revelation of Himself to humanity, but entertain the idea that maybe it’s not the only one.  I wonder if there’s a part of him in other religions.  He is more than anyone us could understand in a lifetime, but we try, and that’s good.  And I know I am not always right, but I don’t think that God is threatened by my questions.  I think He might actually like heretics.

God, what do you think about heretics?

Am I one?

What they need to see: Grace.  Acceptance.  That I love God and people.  Most of my ideas I can probably keep to myself, and focus on what unites us.

I am the wife of a Pastor.  A missionary.  A disciple.  A student.  

And I don’t fit in.
