That is understandable because:<BR/><BR/>a. your church is involved<BR/><BR/>b. you root for your church like most people root for their favorite sports team<BR/><BR/>Personally, I dont see the big deal either way.Friar Tuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404281343475373969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13004974.post-1134238393842187342005-12-10T12:13:00.000-06:002005-12-10T12:13:00.000-06:00Oh that is funny that you thought I was Jami!

I called and left a message with Steph at work so she can fill you in. Then you will see why I had a hard day yesterday. I want to blog about it but it's just so much work. <BR/><BR/>Emily was amazing at the ballet show (The Nutcracker). I am so proud of her!!<BR/><BR/>I really am sad we didn't get to hang out this week. It's one of my favorite times of the week. <BR/><BR/>It is sad about all of the hate going on with "megachurchs". My heart and head hurts. *heavy sigh* Like Steph said "can't we all just get along!" <BR/><BR/>Maddie is poopy so I gots to go! I am so glad you are back to blogging, you always post the most interesting (a good interesting) things!Crystal Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780223519558109753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13004974.post-1134236234944373342005-12-10T11:37:00.000-06:002005-12-10T11:37:00.000-06:00I hear you!

I'm incredibly frustrated too, the back lash is on the magnitude of a certain-political-figure-who-shall-remain-unnamed-incident, but at least then I felt we were somewhat to blame. But this is just goofy! The fact that we haven't done anything wrong and are getting this kind of crap shows that there really is some seething hostility out there toward big churches.<BR/><BR/>By the way, how was the dance recital? Did you guys go see Narnia? I saw it with Mom and she slept through most of it! She said she liked what she saw though :) <BR/><BR/>By the way, I like your new picture, (I thought you were Jamie at first!)Kimberly Cangelosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739099899201439587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13004974.post-1134234076327277142005-12-10T11:01:00.000-06:002005-12-10T11:01:00.000-06:00I just felt overwhelmed yesterday because I have b...I just felt overwhelmed yesterday because I have been reading about this on a lot of blogs and have just been disappointed in some of them. Also yesterday was a pretty hard day for me and I cry easily. <BR/><BR/>This is the part that got me teary,<BR/> <BR/><I>The message: "God is with us everywhere."<BR/>...<BR/>""The central point is not what hour of what day the congregation gathers corporately to celebrate the birth of Christ," says Willow Creek's Hybels, "but rather that in our hearts and lives we allow the coming of Christ to transform us."</I><BR/><BR/>It's exactly how I feel and I am proud to go to a Church that gets it.
