Bible Note: Hi, Misty... there are lots of toes to be stepped on around here... most of them have in-grown toenails, too. :-) I've stepped on a some from time to time myself. Sometimes they even stick them out for you to trip over! :-) However, this medium of communication leaves a lot to be desired. Sometimes the emotional content of questions and answers are misunderstood. There are some neat folks on here, all-in-all. They represent a broad spectrum of Christian theology. Although I haven't followed the posts that you might be concerned about, I am sorry that you have not felt welcome. Please let me extend a hand of fellowship. May the peace of Christ be with you. In Him, Doc |
