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.
