you said perfect - absolutely correct. The beauty is that we CAN disagree and realize that we need to respect each other's beliefs no matter how much we disagree with them. I hope I have never come across as not respecting the person even if I disagree with that person's stated belief. If I have, I apologize. And when I said those things to you, I meant them whole-heartedly and have not waivered from that position. I lost trust for a moment when someone blasted me and I felt it unjustified and as I explained before, because of things that happened HERE in the past, I became very leery. But under the layers of misstrust and wariness, is the real person that WANTS to trust everyone and extend an outstretched arm as long as I feel it is being received.
I agree - we can and should be supportive of each other. In the end, it's what is in the heart that counts and God knows we have been through the ringer and we need to support each other for that reason alone.
