So I have this theory that perhaps, is a little erroneous, or misguided…I don’t know, but here it is…
When Jesus was on the earth, I’d like to imagine that he hung with the whores, prostitutes, homosexuals, drunkards, bastards, criminals, liars, cheaters…you get the point…
Anyway, I’d to think that he spent time with these people, loved them first, right where they were at. He loved them wholly, and conditionally, and in that, their lives were changed because he simply loved them first.
Ok, now I’m not saying he condoned their behaviors, their lifestyles, but he DID love them, despite their failures and shortcomings.
So…with that…what’s so wrong with US doing the same thing? Loving people, right where they are at? Why is it that we are so darn judgmental towards people who aren’t living the way WE think they should live?
Perhaps I am a little misguided with this, but I’d like to think that LOVING people first, with all their faults and failures, that change will eventually come, and lives would change...much like it happened so many years ago…

Welcome to my theory on Care Bears!!!! If Christian people were more willing to share the love God gives us with hurting individuals instead of walling up in fear then the light that we are suppossed to be on this earth might shine bright enough for our world to see it.
For many years as well religious leaders have shunned sinful people and exploited them for their shortcomings and failures, even the ones that wanted to get better.
Breathe is a really cool title, good job on that.
Thank you Hermi for that! I've been trying SO HARD to think of a good title...so GLAD that you like it!!!
You know it's funny because that's how I feel reading your blog entries, like I get to breathe free. I keep thinking why aren't more people in our church community openly speaking the way you do, heck in our world, and you have the faith the back up your thoughts. I think that you really have a great ministry here.
