I have personally felt the pain of rejection my "my own kind" BECAUSE God has wired me to be the type who has my arms wide open...across the traditional boundries. <BR/><BR/>That surely hurts my human heart, but I have also felt the warmth of God smiling down on my choices. Wish I could help others get past the hurt and feel that warmth because it is empowering.Sandy Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01106721566733834954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21889981.post-1139498155805709162006-02-09T07:15:00.000-08:002006-02-09T07:15:00.000-08:00Sandy, I got your e-mail.<BR/><BR/>This is an interesting question. It seems humans are hard-wired to "stick with their own kind" - age, race, economic status, whatever. Certainly a result of the Fall, but difficult to break out of, isn't it? I can easily give mental assent to "arms wide open" but living it out proves to be much more difficult.kingsjoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14963675912030520930noreply@blogger.com
