The church is often a cold place that doesn't reflect "love others as yourself" and that is very sad. A lot of times you can go to an AA meeting and find more acceptance. That shouldn't be. Not that AA isn't a great organization, but we should really do better at accepting others where they are. I remember this old pastor I had. He'd been a Marine and spent 25 years in Africa as a missionary. He had a couple who lived together come to a Bible study and people were awful about it. He said, it's God's job to condemn, not mine. Eventually, she came to faith and the guy faded away. We never know what people will do with the seeds that are planted.

I think that's why alternative doctors became so popular. If they did nothing else, they listened!

See, that's on them, but I understand people feeling judged. I'm not a big drinker either, but I grew up Catholic so drinking has nothing to do with your faith in the Catholic Church. Was I in for a surprise when I became Baptist. LOL I'm glad us square pegs are in the world! They need a little culture. LOL

I'm so glad someone even knows who she is! There is something about her. I just want her to rise up and overcome!

LOL. One good way to ensure they're all alive!

Right? White is what you have when you have no choice! I'm really glad I'm not painting the outside modern farmhouse. I'm ready for that trend to die already. LOL

I'm sure I will be using it. Probably not in July and August. LOL

That means a lot to me, Ashlin, thank you for sharing that.

It has not been a good two days. I need a reset. : )

Aww, that is so sweet. Thank you. I was not feeling very Christian this morning. What a rough day. Attaching motive is really a slippery slope. But now, I will keep my opinion to myself in certain circles. LOL

Exactly how I feel about it. I'm excited to start it because I love her personality. I don't know if you're familiar with Andy Cohen of Bravo, but he's pretty anti-Christian, and she presented her story about God, and so did Julie Chen Mooves, who he's known since college. It was inspiring to watch them talk about their journey and none of us are going to get an audience with those kinds of Hollywood elite. More power to them.

I love my house so much. I will miss it. But I miss being close to family too much. Of course you would understand, you restored a Victorian...properly!

I have. I love the way she breaks things down by different styles. It was helpful in understanding my family.

It will be hard. I'm very sad about that, but I will be back. My son is here. You guys are here. It's a simple trip back.

Wouldn't that be so me? I'm not going to paint the interior. It's a professional job and if they don't like it, they can pay to change it, just like I did.

Thank you, Julie. I'm anxious to get there.
