Just as you are.

Do not ask me to talk politics with you.  I won't.  It isn't that I am uneducated or naive.  It isn't that I am too immature or that I am only interested in trivial things.  It is more so that I despise arguing and 9 times out of 10 a conversation involving politics will in some way eventually come to a disagreement.

I will not argue over which candidate is better because I am well aware that both candidates are human and both candidates will do or have done things that will disappoint me or go against that which I believe in.  I have been disappointed before by having the election not go the way I wanted it to and the world is still spinning.  Do I think this world is worse than it was how many ever years ago?  Yes, yes I do.  Do I think that this is something new under the sun?  No, no I do not.  I'm pretty sure if I had lived in the 60's I would have thought that was the end of times as well.

I am a Christian.  My hope, my future, my joy comes from the Lord.  You might not believe in God.  You might think that my beliefs make me naive or wrong.  Again, we would come to an argument and if you will look back, I don't like to argue.  I will not argue with you.  I have not walked your path.  I have not been dealt the hand that you have been dealt.  I too have been disappointed by other Christians, by the church.  I too have seen behind the veil and been disappointed by humans, but I will tell you that those disappointments have never come from God.  They have come from humans.  Silly, stupid, misinformed, sad, dejected humans.

It's okay you know..for us to disagree.  If we all had the same opinion on everything and did everything the same way what a boring world this would be.  There is a place for the brainiacs, for the free thinkers, there is a place for the habitually disorganized and the OCD organizers.  We all make up this crazy world that we live in and that's why it works.

Please understand this.  The God I serve is made of Love.  The pain that you may have felt or been dealt is not from him it is from the sin that is in this world.  God loves you, just as you are, not like some human is telling you you have to be.  Just as you are.
