I was just making an observation that her comment just threw me off a little. Yes, faith is still faith. I am trying hard to not expect everyone else's faith to be a certain level. Everyone's relationship with God is different. <BR/><BR/>I guess I just wonder if she would be a "safe person" to talk to. That's all. <BR/><BR/>It's really not that big of a deal. It just made me think.Smittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17379954714566858683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34818445.post-88760451018284726252008-11-12T08:33:00.000-06:002008-11-12T08:33:00.000-06:00Faith is still faith...whether it is happy clappy or deep and wide. Right? I think we need to be careful that we don't expect everyone else's faith to meet up to a certain level/standard. I am quite certain there are people in this world who would view you/our faith as "happy clappy" even though we think it is well defined. I understand the frustration...I really do, but I don't think God is using that to call your attention to it, I think it is being used to discourage and confuse you by "the other guy".<BR/><BR/>I wonder how God feels about "our" faith....I am sure we all have a looong ways to go...<BR/><BR/>I guess I was just thinking about people who have experienced real persecution for their faith....people who experienced greater loss than we can even imagine....they might look at us and feel the same way you did on Sunday....??<BR/><BR/>Comparing our faith to someone else's is never the answer....it serves no purpose that I can tell...Shellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05915146391584006818noreply@blogger.com
