"I was rereading some of the stuff I have written and thinking that a lot of the stuff that I write and the bloggers that I read write seems to be pretty bitter towards Church, Inc...... I really don't mean it to be. I don't want to hold any animosity towards anyone. There are still a lot of wonderful people in the organization who are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing and until God shows them differently they need to stay right where they are. I don't regret the road God has taken me down to get to where I am right now... sometimes I wish I caught on a little faster but I just have to believe that when the word says "the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord" He is including me in that process. I am very, very thankful for where we are right now. I never want to be a part of that system again.I feel like that when I got saved God delivered me from the bondages of sin and stupid me, I stepped right into the bondages of the law and now He has set me free from that. So, I truly feel free indeed!! I love what I see happening in our group and others like us who are learning to BE the church, day to day, side by side.

So, forgive me if I sound bitter at times. We have pretty much worked thru all the anger but we are still going to call it like it is."
