I Write About Jesus Like I Know Him Personally and That Offends People
Too bad. I was not wanted from gestation. I have conquered trial after trial and there is nothing that you can take away from me that hasn’t already been stripped away several times over.
Does that offend you?
Okay, I can live with that.
If, offense is where you want to live. That is your prerogative.
Mine is to live a life that is dedicated to my conscience and witness as human being.
It may not be like yours. In fact it, will not be like yours.
For you to assume you understand the meaning of the language that I use, or how I came to that understanding and tell me by word or deed that I have no place having a voice is outrageous, and goes straight against what you claim you uphold, which is human courtesy and decency.
No one has anyone else’s language.
Language meaning and intent comes from experience, and you have not “been in my shoes” to coin an old cliché.
