Hi Michael,

Boy, you are going to make sure my mind has no cob webs, eh? Well, once again I must say that iron sharpens iron. I also have to say that I will have to leave your recent comments for another day, hopefully tomorrow. I have run out of time today and I do want to answer you back when my mind is all there 😉 Not fair for you to have to deal with a woman with only half a brain (well that may be my natural state, but I’m trying!)

One comment before I go for tonight. It is important for me to reassure you of my respect and my care. I really want to do my best in sharing my scriptural view with a great amount of dignity and respect. The reason that I feel so strongly on this is because that is how I like to be treated. There are many times that I have been treated with disdain by complementarians and it felt yucky. I wondered if they knew how unloving they came across. It’s an amazing thing how even I can close my ears to really hearing the other person if I am being talked down to as if I was a terrible sinner.

By the grace of God, I hope I never walk that road of being judgmental and unkind. I have experienced too much of that and I do not want to keep that ball a rolling. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that this is how you were being treated and I prefer to keep out of that conversation! I just want you to know that you are welcome here and I intend to challenge your socks right off those feet of yours! (Or just pull them down around your ankles, in a gentle and kind way, if I can’t get them off 😉
