Something Positive hits on the head today.

Some days, that site and I don't agree - today, we dovetail.

I'm a Christian.

(Probably one with the broadest expression expression of the term, because I tend to work from the divinity of concept in addition to the divinity of the person - yeah, you have to come here for the message, but don't ignore the message when you find it elsewhere. God made the heavens and the earth - and yeah, that means everything is here for a reason. Including the people who disagree with you. God made them - and spoke to them - too. Moving on.)

I've had more moments like this than you would honestly believe - except you won't find me at bedside on my knees. I'm behind the wheel of my car, at my desk, walking down the street, shopping in the market. Watching television.

I'm not praying to get your attention, after all. What I have with God is between the two of us. What I want God to know, God does. *chuckles* I'm very protestant in that regard. You *might* find some references to God in my home - I took down all the crucifixes when I moved into the place, however. Don't wear them. (No, not even widdle gold crosses where nobody can see them.) My expression of faith is me. Who I am, what I do and what motivates me to do it.

I don't put fish on my car. I don't wish anyone "a blessed day." (Although I appreciate it when someone does. How nice! If you're actually thinking about what you're wishing me, that is.)

I'm a subscriber to Sojourners. I think everyone interested should. I have lending copies of God's Politics.

I don't like "superstitious christians." You need to know what I mean? Doubt it, but you can ask.

But if anyone wants to tell me I'm not a "true Christian," pardon me if I don't pay much attention to you. You're not the one who makes that decision.

And that, as they say, is that.
